It wasn’t the most highlight filled day, but there were some key takeaways from another sweltering late July practice.

With another sweltering late July summer day, the Indianapolis Colts took to training camp at Grand Park in Westfield, Indiana, on Saturday afternoon again, and will be off until Monday’s 10 AM practice, returning back from the weekend.

Here are a few reported takeaways from today:

NFL: JUL 24 Indianapolis Colts Training Camp

Pierce Makes ‘Em Pay in the Red Zone to Continue Strong Camp

Colts practice ongoing here at Grand Park…

Notable: Alec Pierce just caught his second TD in a redzone period, which has been the main focus of today’s workout.

Relatedly… even though it’s a small sample size (it’s Day 4 of camp), I’d argue Pierce has been the most consistent WR in camp so far. And he’s done it by catching the kind of balls he doesn’t often get — lots of short and intermediate routes.

AD Mitchell’s Early Camp Struggles with Drops Only Continues

#Colts WR AD Mitchell has had a rough camp so far. Two more drops today on back-to-back plays in 11-on-11. By my count, he has four drops in 11-on-11 through four camp practices.

Former QB Shane Steichen Throws Pick Six to Cam Bynum!

Shane Steichen (yes, really) just threw an interception to Cam Bynum so he could run it back for a TD and lead his first choreographed celebration — with the defense rowing the canoe behind the pylon.

At this rate, the secondary could have a bunch of celebrations this year.

NFL: JUL 23 Indianapolis Colts Training Camp

Rookie Tyler Warren Shines Again with Anthony Richardson

The highlight of the routes on air session was yet another Anthony Richardson to Tyler Warren one-handed snag. The chemistry may be real folks. #Colts

Rookie QB Riley Leonard Looks Good in Red Zone

Riley Leonard just threw a dime to Laquon Treadwell in the back of the end zone during 7-on-7 red zone drills. #Colts fans gave an approving roar after that one.

QB Anthony Richardson Rotates to Begin with Starters

#Colts QB Anthony Richardson was with the starters to begin 11-on-11 work today. Daniel Jones with the 2s.

— James Boyd (@RomeovilleKid) July 26, 2025

Final #Colts period is a full-length drive situation w/ Anthony Richardson and the starters. AR barely missed Alec Pierce on a deep out (though AP got hands on it). A beautiful seam ball to Mo Alie-Cox for ~25yds. Then a miscommunication between he/MPJ, they talked it over after.

— Noah Compton (@nerlens_) July 26, 2025

Final 11-on-11 red zone period with Anthony Richardson and the #Colts second unit:

– off-target to Warren rolling left, incomplete
– in-breaker broken up
– TD to DJ Giddens in flats
– QB rush for presumed TD

— Noah Compton (@nerlens_) July 26, 2025

#Colts second team 7-on-7 RZ period with Anthony Richardson:

– fade incomplete to Ogletree, meh ball saved by DPI
– wide open sit route to Ashton Dulin for TD
– tip drill INT by Thomas II/Olubi
– Herbert in flats as last resort, potential TD

— Noah Compton (@nerlens_) July 26, 2025

First Redzone Team Period of training camp has Anthony Richardson with the starters:

– last progression to Downs in flats drop/inc
– Cameron McGrone PBU on a ball in traffic
– multiple rushes that scored including an option to JT
– potential would-be sack resulted in incomplete

— Noah Compton (@nerlens_) July 26, 2025

New QB Daniel Jones Has a Bit of a Rebound Day

Same period for Daniel Jones and the backups:

– a couple of PBUs
– good chunk gain on a DJ scramble
– hit AD Mitchell in stride for 10-15 yards after the catch
– next play, overthrows AD Mitchell

— Noah Compton (@nerlens_) July 26, 2025

Daniel Jones with a couple of great plays to end his 11-on-11 RZ period: one being an impressive find to Alec Pierce in the back of the EZ for the TD. The other beating the defense to the pylon with his legs. #Colts

— Noah Compton (@nerlens_) July 26, 2025

First 7-on-7 is a red zone period with Daniel Jones with starters:

– fade to Tyler Warren incomplete, good ball, better coverage by Joe Bachie
– throw behind to wide open Downs on slant
– quickly found JD on in-breaker
– off hands of MPJ in back of EZ
– held onto ball too long

— Noah Compton (@nerlens_) July 26, 2025

Big Cornerback Addition Charvarius Ward Has an Interception!

For the first time of #Colts camp we have 1-on-1s. Some notable moments:

– Charvarius Ward picture-perfect coverage in MPJ, impressive INT
– Anthony Richardson throws out-breakers have been a thing of beauty
– Daniel Jones was super late, didn’t even throw the RZ fade once

— Noah Compton (@nerlens_) July 26, 2025

CB JuJu Brents Making Most of Opportunity Again

Really nice pair of reps for JuJu Brents, who is rotating with Jaylon Jones on first team opposite Charvarius Ward.

He blanketed Michael Pittman on one extended red-zone throw and then stayed with Anthony Gould on a slant & batted the pass in the air for a Rodney Thomas II pick.

Handful of Colts Veterans Continue to Sit Out Early Practices

Shane Steichen said Kenny Moore II was held out of Sat practice with sore knee. Not considered serious. OT Jack Wilson missed 2nd day with pectoral injury.

— Mike Chappell (@mchappell51) July 26, 2025

Short list today:

Zaire Franklin (ankle) and Kenny Moore II watching from the side. Still no sight of Jack Wilson.
