Indianapolis Colts rookie linebacker CJ Allen will wear the green dot communication device in Week 9, signaling his elevation to the defensive play-caller role he was drafted to fill. The green dot designates the player who receives play calls from the coaching staff and relays them to the defense.
Allen, a rookie, has progressed quickly to earn the responsibility. The move comes as the Colts prepare for their Week 9 matchup.
The announcement was reported by Nathan Brown of the Indianapolis Star on November 6, 2026.
