Evansville, IN, October 19, 2026 —

The Indianapolis Colts have fired general manager Chris Ballard, according to the information provided. The move comes amid the team’s 2-4 start to the season and a loss to the Tennessee Titans.

The available information does not specify when the firing was announced or identify the season year. It also does not provide the score of the Titans game, explain whether the loss directly prompted the decision, or describe the circumstances surrounding the team’s start.

Ballard’s tenure with the organization, the length of his contract and any details about a replacement were not provided. The information also does not say who will handle the general manager’s responsibilities in the interim, whether other staff changes are planned, or whether Ballard or the team issued a public statement.

The firing marks a change in the Colts’ front office during the season. Beyond the record and the recent loss cited in the summary, no further details were provided about the team’s performance, its plans for the remainder of the season or the process for selecting a successor. Those details remain unspecified in the information available.
