FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Colts quarterback Daniel Jones wasn't always able to trust his receivers to get open in Tuesday's joint practice against New England.
Even with the Patriots' top two cornerbacks, Christian Gonzalez and Carlton Davis III, standing on the sidelines, there were often times when Jones had to hold the ball and wait for receivers to get open, particularly in the red zone.
But he always has Tyler Warren there to save the day.
When Jones needed a completion Tuesday, he often looked for the second-year tight end, a bruising, physical force who gave the Patriots' secondary trouble all day long. Indianapolis and New England finished Tuesday's joint practice by putting the No. 1 and No. 2 offenses for each team into a critical end-of-game situation — 1:12 on the clock, an entire field to drive, in need of a touchdown.
Jones beat the blitz by hitting Warren up the seam on his first throw, then picked up a big chunk by finding Warren coming free over the middle and launched a ball deep for Warren in contested coverage. Warren went up, beat the safety and pulled the ball down at the 5-yard line.
