The organizational restructuring for the Indianapolis Colts will not include the firing of general manager Chris Ballard.
Colts owner Jim Irsay told reporters "of course," when asked if he believes Ballard will return in 2023. "Yes I do. There's no question about that."
This is a change of pattern for the 2022 Colts, who fired offensive coordinator Marcus Brady on Nov. 1 and then fired head coach Frank Reich on Monday. The Reich decision came after an ugly 26-3 loss to the New England Patriots in Week 9, which dropped Indianapolis to just 3-5-1 on the campaign.
