Indianapolis Colts GM Chris Ballard: 'Consequences' for players unvaccinated against COVID-19

INDIANAPOLIS -- Colts general manager Chris Ballard reiterated Wednesday that he is a firm believer that everybody should get vaccinated when it comes to dealing with COVID-19.

Ballard, in his annual media session before the start of the regular season, spent a significant amount of time answering questions about a number of his players not being vaccinated after quarterback Carson Wentz, center Ryan Kelly and receiver Zach Pascal were placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday after coming in close contact with a Colts staff member who tested positive.

Wentz, Kelly and Pascal can return to facility on the sixth day after the close contact if they have negative tests and remain asymptomatic.
