Colts Training Camp ‘Day 8’ and ‘Day 9’ Takeaways

#Colts QB Anthony Richardson just got picked off by Kenny Moore II in 11-on-11. Forced it to the back of the end zone, trying to get it to Josh Downs. Terrible decision.

#Colts QB Daniel Jones got picked off twice in 7-on-7. One by Joe Bachie and another by Nick Cross. Also threw a TD to Josh Downs.

After a nice week, both QBs had rough moments on Saturday. Richardson definitely more than Jones.

Zaire Franklin makes his camp debut at practice No. 8. Eased back into things.

Good days from Kenny Moore II, Josh Downs. Will Mallory continues to flash. https://t.co/AfPbMOxGzF

Will Mallory having a very nice camp. Just caught RZ TD from Riley Leonard. Very nice camp.

Second RZ series. Daniel Jones short TD to Tyler Warren. AR nice touch TD left corner to Drew Ogletree,

#Colts STC Brian Mason said Spencer Shrader is at 87% on FG attempts in camp. Maddux Trujillo is at 74%.

No timeline on when they’ll name a starter. But I think it’s pretty fair to say Spencer is in the lead for the K1 job.

#Colts WR Michael Pittman Jr. is not practicing today.

LB Zaire Franklin (ankle surgery) is making his camp debut today.

LB Segun Olubi didn’t practice today due to an ankle injury, per the #Colts.

#Colts HC Shane Steichen says that this was a live period for the developmental players, so Trey Washington was supposed to tackle Salvon Ahmed. But obviously, that was not the tackle Washington was supposed to use.

Added that Washington didn’t mean to do it and made a mistake. https://t.co/vShgfV5bhE

Really unfortunate moment here at Colts camp. RB Salvon Ahmed gets tackled from behind with a possible hip drop tackle and suffers a nasty lower leg injury. He’s currently being put on a stretcher.

— Stephen Holder (@HolderStephen) August 3, 2025

Shane Steichen: Never want to see that happen. I know we don’t encourage hip-drop tackles . . . we’re just trying to create an edge . . . an identity. https://t.co/rB1t836ubU

— Mike Chappell (@mchappell51) August 3, 2025

Tough scenes at Grand Park: After an impressive rush by Salvon Ahmed, a hip drop tackle effectively ends his season as the stretcher/aircast comes out.

The entire campus was dead silent and you could hear Ahmed screaming, ‘F***!’ pic.twitter.com/6uXVrE0Rl8

#Colts Day 9:

-Better QB day (Colts again down 3 of top 5 CBs)

-Riley Leonard looking like 2nd half of national title game

-Good DL day.

-Thoughts with RB-Salvon Ahmed. Carted off. Ugly right leg injury on tackle from behind by safety Trey Washington down the field. Awful.

Colts camp observations, Day 9

Laiatu Latu and Kwity Paye were super active again
Daniel Jones was solid when he had time to throw, but I’m ready to see him rip one. He had AD Mitchell wide open on a fade route and threw it back-shoulder
Another really good AD day

— Nate Atkins (@NateAtkins_) August 3, 2025

Daniel Jones and the #Colts second unit score as well, headlined by two big-time connections to Anthony Gould. Dropped one into the bucket in stride for ~40 yards, then fit one into traffic — Gould took RAC for deep.

Looked like both Shrader/Trujillo made it from 33 yards out. https://t.co/FtiT167oVV

Just 7-on-7 today for #Colts LB Zaire Franklin. https://t.co/X3wAP9hruY

— James Boyd (@RomeovilleKid) August 3, 2025

Lost in the shuffle from this morning’s practice was free agent signee DT Neville Gallimore’s camp-best day, particularly in pass rush. Got to both Jones and Richardson on the day. #Colts

#Colts QB Riley Leonard just had a great drive down the field with the third-stringers. Threw a dime to WR Coleman Owen for a long completion and then threw a TD pass to WR Landon Parker.

Leonard was 7-on-7 passing on the drive. Easily his best performance in camp.

— James Boyd (@RomeovilleKid) August 3, 2025

#Colts UDFA WR Tyler Kahmann just caught a longggggggg TD pass from Riley Leonard in 7-on-7, as Leonard’s strong day continues. Most comfortable he’s looked in all of camp.

— James Boyd (@RomeovilleKid) August 3, 2025

Riley Leonard just had a hell of a drive for the third-team offense. 75 yards, went 7-of-7 with a TD to Landon Parker.

Charvarius Ward is dealing with a little bit of tightness in his leg, which is why he’s been out.

Michael Pittman Jr. is still working through the groin he hurt last week. He did practice on Thursday night with it.

— Nate Atkins (@NateAtkins_) August 3, 2025

It appears the following #Colts are out today:

Charvarius Ward
Michael Pittman Jr. (groin)
JuJu Brents (hamstring)
Jaylon Jones (hamstring)
Jaylon Carlies
