Quote:

Ballard indicates two guys will start on PUP: DL Tyquan Lewis (knee) and TE Will Mallory (foot).

Could be a few more guys who won't practice early in training camp.

Quote:

Ballard says LB Shaquille Leonard has passed his physical.

Doesn't mean he will be full contact from the outset. Have a progression plan in place. Will build things up. No timeline.

TE Jelani Woods said he’ll be a full go when training camp begins tomorrow.

He missed OTAs and veteran minicamp with a hamstring injury.

The Colts also added Taylor to the PUP List to go along with the two previously-mentioned players:

The Indianapolis Colts today made the following roster moves:

Placed on Active/Physically Unable to Perform list:

Tyquan Lewis, DE

Will Mallory, TE

Jonathan Taylor, RB

https://twitter.com/KBowen1070/statu...46093149577222

Quote:

Colts add RB Jonathan Taylor to PUP list. Taylor had off-season ankle surgery + missed spring work.

Ballard didn't mention his name earlier as a PUP candidate (Jim Irsay said Taylor was "healed up" a few weeks back).

We will see if Taylor talks tomorrow after the first practice.

Quote:

Ballard mentioned there might be another player or two placed on PUP after physicals; he didn’t say Taylor.

"Ballard didn't mention his name earlier as a PUP candidate (Jim Irsay said Taylor was "healed up" a few weeks back). We will see if Taylor talks tomorrow after the first practice."

Perhaps nothing but this move suddenly comes when JT is talking Contract Extentions and why no multiple year deals...

Also hoping Leonard can play a full season this year without falling completely apart in the process.

Seems fishy to me at least on JT - signed "Mr. Conspiracy" :D

You aren't alone.

Yesterday Stephen Holder shared those same sentiments about JT:

Jonathan Taylor to the active/PUP list is different than what we were told this morning.

Granted, he had ankle surgery in the offseason.

But I think this raises some obvious questions that this is about something else.

CB JuJu Brents and SS Julian Blackmon both sitting out today

Blackmon and Brents both dealing with hamstrings, per Steichen

Quote:

RB Jonathan Taylor is here, although he obviously isn’t practicing because he’s on PUP.

https://twitter.com/JoelAErickson/st...21892167598087

Quote:

Steichen didn’t offer a timeline for Taylor’s return, said only that Taylor would be back out here when he’s healthy

https://twitter.com/KBowen1070/statu...10680549842945

Quote:

LB Shaquille Leonard is pretty darn active for Day 1.

All of positional work. And now has taken a couple of starting reps to begin 11-on-11 and 7-on-7 sessions.

Quote:

Shaq Leonard: “I feel way different from last year.”

Said he had game day nerves today. Didn’t sleep last night. Finally felt his normal self after individual drills.

Very encouraging to hear about Leonard.

Are they officially citing the ankle as the reason for JT on PUP?

You know the Colts, they wouldn't be that specific. They would say something like he has an issue in the "lower extremities region".

Substitute testicular for extremities, probably a bit more accurate

Quote:

Colts rookie WR Josh Downs says a knee injury he sustained during the first game of his last season at UNC was "lingering around" and he got it "dealt with."

Asked directly if he had surgery: "That's just between me and the team, but the issue is taken care of."

Quote:

QB Anthony Richardson took all 15 starting reps. Reverse of day 1. Was 3-of-5. Uncorked some more down the field stuff in 7-on-7.

QB Gardner Minshew had 6 straight completions to end the day

QB Anthony Richardson had a procedure on his nose to correct his nasal septum, per the team.

He will miss today’s practice, but the hope is he’ll be able to return Tuesday.

Also, rookie TE Will Mallory has been activated from PUP.

I feel like if anyone needs something fixed on their nose it has to be Paye.

Dude sounds like he is permanently congested.

Been so caught with with JT I missed a few things... I just read Albert Breer's article and he said Richardson showed up to camp at 255lbs, 11lbs heavier than the combine.

Apparently it's not bad weight, though. Holy shit that's a big QB.

From what I read, he practiced with the third team the first week of camp. Those practices were without pads so I don't know if you could read too much into those days.

The Colts bumped him up to the second team on Monday - but that was the last day he has practiced. He has missed the last two practices (Tuesday and today) with an injury. I don't think any of the reporters have asked about his injury yet so don't know the injury type or severity.

Joel Erickson reported that Emil Ekiyor has a knee injury.

He missed today's practice as well.
