The Colts have put assistant GM Ed Dodds in charge of personnel following the firing of General Manager Chris Ballard. The team said Dodds would oversee the department for the remainder of the 2026 season.

Under the temporary structure, ownership will receive reports directly from head coach Shane Steichen and staff working outside the personnel department.

Dodds joined the Colts in 2017, shortly after Ballard was hired, and has held the assistant GM position since 2018. He has interviewed with several teams for general manager vacancies in recent years.

The personnel change comes with the Colts at 1-5 and the November 10 trade deadline approaching.
