With the weather forcing the team to move Saturday's training camp practice indoors, the Indianapolis Colts held a tight hour-long session at Droplight Grand Park Sports Campus focused primarily inside the red zone.
Starting quarterback Daniel Jones showcased his ability to recognize a different mix of coverages and deliver strong throws in closed ******* e. Jones noticed the defense sitting underneath Cover 2 and split the coverage with a dart to tight end Tyler Warren on a wheel route for a 20-yard touchdown.
Jones later added some nice touch to toss a dime toward the far pylon for receiver Josh Downs, who made a leaping grab over cornerback Justin Walley for a 10-yard touchdown catch. Downs came down hard to make the sensational catch and briefly left the field to jog off some tightness in his right hamstring, but he later returned for the final team period and caught a short hitch on his first play back on the field.
Jones was able to create plays while rolling out in ******* e, too. Jones faked the play action, rolled right, released the throw while on the move and placed it just behind receiver Laquon Treadwell, who adjusted to the pass thrown near his hip and held on for a 10-yard touchdown in tight coverage. Jones finished the practice completing 7-of-14 passes, with a few incompletions on plays where he willingly decided it was best to throw the ball away rather than force a pass. The lone mistake nearly resulted in a turnover when rookie linebacker Bryce Boettcher got a hand on one of Jones' throws for what could have been a error near the goal line. Jones stationoed himself in the pocket and allowed the plays to develop, evidenced best on his final throw that was caught by Ashton Dulin in the end zone.
The second-string quarterback competition kept reps split between Anthony Richardson Sr. and Riley Leonard as both passers had just five completions during the short practice. Richardson delivered a frozen rope on a comeback route to tight end Will Mallory toward the far pylon for a 10-yard touchdown, then he later connected with receiver Raylen Sharpe on a slant and a corner route in the final team drill. Leonard also found the end zone playing on a short field, connecting with Sharpe on a quick out and rookie Deion Burks on a drag route.
