As a former 2023 3rd round pick of the Minnesota Vikings, the 27-year-old Blackmon was traded to the Colts last late August for a 2026 6th round pick ahead of the former’s final 53-man roster cuts.
For a banged up Colts cornerback room, he ended up playing reasonably well in relief last season, recording 64 tackles (50 solo), a sack, 2 interceptions, and 7 passes defensed during 17 games (11 starts) in Indianapolis.
However, Blackmon struggled mightily in coverage through his two preseason games, having a handful of defensive penalties.
As Blackmon’s replacement, the Colts signed undrafted rookie cornerback Kenneth Harris, out of Oklahoma State and Arkansas State, who had previously spent his debut offseason with the New England Patriots.
