Won't return vs. Jacksonville
Lammons (foot) has been ruled out for the remainder of Indianapolis' matchup versus the Jaguars on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Lammons is done for the day after suffering a foot injury in the first half. The 29-year-old had seen the majority of his playing time on special teams before exiting the game, so his absence likely won't affect the Colts' defensive gameplan.
Dec 7, 2025
Questionable to return
Lammons (foot) is questionable to return in Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
ANALYSIS
Lammons exited in the first half of Sunday's Week 14 game against the Jaguars. The 29-year-old saw most of his workload on special teams before the injury, but saw an uptick in playing time with Sauce Gardner out. Mekhi Blackmon and George Odum may see a larger role if Lammons remains out.
Oct 30, 2025
First pick since 2019
Lammons recorded four tackles, a pass defensed and an interception in Sunday's 38-14 win over the Titans.
ANALYSIS
Lammons has served as a backup in the Colts' secondary this season, only seeing his playing time tick up when injuries have occurred. He also logged some extra snaps in the blowout win Sunday and picked off a pass in garbage time, his first interception since the 2019 campaign.
Oct 24, 2024
Appears past injuries
Lammons (knee/ankle) was a full participant during Thursday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Lammons was unable to play during the Colts' Week 7 win over the Dolphins due to knee and ankle injuries. He was listed as a DNP on Wednesday, but he was able to practice without limitations Thursday. Barring any setbacks, Lammons should be able to return from a one-game absence and play in Sunday's AFC South clash against the Texans.
Oct 18, 2024
Won't play in Week 7
Head coach Shane Steichen told reporters Friday that Lammons (ankle/knee) won't play in Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
According to the Colts' Week 7 injury report, Lammons failed to practice both Wednesday and Thursday due to an ankle issue. It appears the South Carolina product has now moved past his knee injury but will still be sidelined Sunday. Expect David Long to see additional work in the Colts' secondary in Lammons' stead.
Sep 29, 2024
Cleared for action
Lammons (ankle/knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
After not practicing Wednesday or Thursday, Lammons logged a full practice Friday and will be good to go for Week 4. With Kenny Moore (hip) inactive, Lammons could see a larger role versus Pittsburgh, but Jaylon Jones (90), Dallis Flowers (41) and Samuel Womack (28) all saw way more defensive snaps than Lammons (seven) did last week.
Sep 23, 2024
Limited role on defense
Lammons had three total tackles in Sunday's win over Chicago.
ANALYSIS
Lammons played just seven snaps on defense as he's a depth player at cornerback. Given Indy's depth issues in the secondary, he could be counted on for a larger role at some point this season.
Sep 10, 2024
Signed to Colts' roster
The Colts signed Lammons from the practice squad to the active roster Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Lammons was unable to make the Colts' 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but he will join the active roster after JuJu Brents was placed on injured reserve due to a knee injury. Lammons played 22 snaps on special teams in the Colts' 29-27 loss to the Texans on Sunday, and he finished with no tackles. With Brents sidelined, Lammons is expected to provide depth in the Colts' secondary behind corners Jaylon Jones and Kenny Moore.
Aug 28, 2024
Released by Indianapolis
Lammons was released by the Colts.
ANALYSIS
Lammons missed the beginning of the Colts' camp due to foot and ankle issues but was activated from the PUP list on Aug. 5. He appeared in four regular-season games for the Colts last season, registering six tackles (four solo) and one pass defended while playing 59 snaps on defense and 55 snaps on special teams. He's a candidate for the practice squad.
Aug 5, 2024
Moves off PUP list
The Colts activated Lammons (foot/ankle) off the active/PUP list Monday, JJ Stankevitz of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Lammons missed the beginning of Colts camp due to foot and ankle issues, but it now appears as if he's moved past his injuries. The 28-year-old cornerback split his time evenly between defense and special teams (59 defensive snaps and 55 special teams snaps) with Indianapolis in 2023, and he's expected to compete for a similar role ahead of the team's 2024 campaign.
Jul 24, 2024
Starting camp on PUP list
The Colts placed Lammons (foot) on the active/PUP list Wednesday, Stephen Holder of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Lammons did not participate in OTAs and minicamp after undergoing ankle surgery, with general manager Chris Ballard telling reporters Wednesday that the corner is "a week or two away" from being ready, per Paul Bretl of USA Today. Once healthy, Lammons can be activated off the PUP list and participate in practice. He appeared in four regular-season games for the Colts last season, registering six tackles (four solo) and one pass defended while playing 59 snaps on defense and 55 snaps on special teams.
May 30, 2024
Dealing with foot injury
Lammons (foot) did not participate in drills during OTAs on Thursday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Lammons was spotted wearing a walking boot, suggesting the foot issue may be more serious than a tweak or a stinger. He'll have to try to get back onto the practice field as quickly as possible to make a run at a spot on Indianapolis' final roster for 2024.
May 10, 2024
Competing for spot in secondary
Lammons will compete for a roster spot as a backup slot corner during training camp, Kevin Hickey of the Sporting News reports.
ANALYSIS
Lammons appeared in four games in 2023 and bounced between the Colts' 53-man roster and practice squad. He ended the season nursing an ankle injury but is healthy again and set to battle for a roster spot in 2024, and he'll face some increased competition from rookie Micah Abraham.
Jan 5, 2024
Won't play vs. Texans
Lammons (ankle) is out for Saturday's game versus the Texans.
ANALYSIS
Lammons was not able to participate at practice at all during the week, so it's not surprising that he'll end up missing Indianapolis' season finale. If Kenny Moore (back) suffers a setback and also sits out in Week 18, the Colts could throw Darrell Baker back into the mix at corner.
Oct 28, 2023
Promoted from practice squad
The Colts elevated Lammons to the active roster Saturday.
ANALYSIS
After serving a three-game suspension , Lammons was cut by the Colts on Sept. 25 before rejoining the team on the practice squad on the same day. The elevation comes with Juju Brents (quadriceps) ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Saints. Lammons last played in 2022 with the Chiefs mostly on special teams and had seven tackles (three solo) and a forced fumble over 16 games.
Sep 25, 2023
Cut by Indianapolis
Lammons was let go by the Colts on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Lammons was suspended for three games in August for violating the personal-conduct policy. He was with Saints running back Alvin Kamara during his Feb. 2022 incident at a Las Vegas nightclub. Lammons spent his first four seasons with the Chiefs and operated mostly on special teams.
Aug 4, 2023
Hit with three-game suspension
The NFL suspended Lammons three games for violating the personal-conduct policy, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Lammons was involved in the same Feb. 2022 incident as Alvin Kamara at a Las Vegas nightclub. The former undrafted free agent out of South Carolina, Lammons spent the previous three seasons with the Chiefs, appearing in 16 games last year as a core special teamer. He's eligible to return to action in Week 4.
Nov 27, 2022
Will play Sunday
Lammons (concussion) is active Sunday against the Rams.
ANALYSIS
Lammons suffered a concussion Week 10 against the Jaguars and did not clear protocols in time for Week 11's contest with the Chargers. However, after clearing those protocols Wednesday, the 26-year-old will suit up Week 12.
Nov 26, 2022
Suffers potential setback
Lammons (concussion) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams.
ANALYSIS
Lammons suffered a concussion in Week 10 and also sat out Week 11. After returning to practice Wednesday and Thursday, it appeared that Lammons was on track to suit up against the Rams. However, he failed to log any participation Friday, suggesting he suffered a potential setback while placing his status for Sunday in jeopardy.
Nov 24, 2022
Clears protocol
Lammons (concussion) is not on the Chiefs' injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Rams.
ANALYSIS
Lammons is on track to return from a one-game absence due to a concussion. Look for him to resume his role on special teams and providing depth in the defensive backfield should he avoid any setbacks.
Nov 18, 2022
Missing Sunday's contest
Head coach Andy Reid said Friday that Lammons (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.
ANALYSIS
Lammons suffered a concussion during the Week 10 win over Jacksonvillle, and he's since been unable to clear protocols that would've allowed him to play Sunday versus the Chargers. While the 26-year-old has mainly served as a special-teams contributor to this point in the season, his absence isn't expected to alter the Chiefs defensive game plan in Week 11.
Nov 13, 2022
Isn't returning Sunday
Lammons (concussion) won't return to Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
ANALYSIS
Lammons was forced out of Sunday's contest versus Jacksonville with concussion symptoms, and he ultimately won't return for the remainder of the game as a result. Trent McDuffie, L'Jarius Sneed, Jaylen Watson and Joshua Williams are slated to command cornerback duties for the rest of the day for the Chiefs.
Oct 13, 2022
Back in full Thursday
Lammons (hip) practiced in full Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Lammons picked up an apparent hip injury during Monday's contest versus the Raiders, and he ultimately failed to practice Wednesday as a result. However, the 26-year-old made a 180-degree turn by practicing without limitations Thursday, suggesting he'll be ready to return as mainly a special teams contributor for Sunday's matchup against the Bills.
Oct 10, 2022
Exits with injury
Lammons (hip) is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Raiders, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Lammons was not listed on the Chiefs' injury report coming into this Week 5 contest, so it appears he picked up this issue at some point during the game. The fourth-year veteran recorded two tackles and a forced fumble while playing just eight of his 95 total snaps on defense over the first four games of the season.
Jun 16, 2022
Re-signs with Kansas City
Lammons signed a contract with the Chiefs on Thursday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Lammons was a core special-teamer for the Chiefs, playing 218 special-teams snaps over 12 games, and recorded six tackles and one fumble recovery last season. The 26-year-old re-signed after the Chiefs waived fellow cornerback Luq Barcoo in a corresponding move Thursday. Lammons missed Kansas City's final eight games -- including the team's three playoff contests -- after being placed on the team's injured reserve with a season-ending ankle injury.
Jan 25, 2022
Remaining on IR for rest of season
Lammons (ankle) missed his 21-day practice window and will remain on injured reserve for the rest of the season, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The cornerback was designated to return from IR on Jan. 4, but he failed to make it back to practice in time to be activated off the list. Lammons' 2021 campaign has come to a close and he will now shift his focus towards the 2022 season.
Jan 4, 2022
Designated for return
Lammons (ankle) was designated to return from IR on Tuesday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Lammons picked up the injury in Week 13 against the Broncos and was placed on IR on Dec. 11. Now that he's been designated to return, he'll work to return to the field on game day, as soon as Saturday against the Broncos.
Dec 11, 2021
Sidelined at least three games

Dec 10, 2021
Out Sunday
Lammons (ankle) is out Sunday against the Raiders, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.
ANALYSIS
Lammons was injured Sunday against the Broncos and never returned. Filling mostly a depth role in the secondary and on special teams, his absence could be replaced in a variety of ways.
Dec 5, 2021
Questionable to return

ANALYSIS
Lammons sustained his ankle injury in the first half of Sunday night's matchup, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be available following halftime. If he's unable to return, Deandre Baker could see a slight uptick in playing time.
