Colts GM Chris Ballard on Keenan Allen: Give Him some Grace
Chris Ballard said the Colts are giving Allen grace while his two misdemeanor charges move through the legal process.
- Indianapolis Colts General Manager Chris Ballard confirmed Tuesday the team will retain Keenan Allen despite his arrest Sunday on misdemeanor charges of operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated.
- IMPD officers arrested Allen at 1 a.m. Sunday in the 100 block of S. Meridian Street after observing a vehicle in a no-parking zone and noticing signs of intoxication, hours after his preseason debut at Lucas Oil Stadium.
- Ballard emphasized giving Allen "grace" for a single mistake in a 14-year career, saying he is a "tremendous human being" and that the team "handled everything internally."
- Despite the pending legal matter, Allen will play in the season opener against Baltimore on September 13, with his first court date scheduled for September 16.
- The team signed Allen 11 days ago to bolster their receiving corps, providing a proven veteran target alongside receivers Michael Pittman and Alec Pierce.
