5 takeaways from Day 2 of Colts training camp

As expected, rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson was the one taking first team reps during practice after Gardner Minshew was the one to do so during the first practice. Head coach Shane Steichen said the two would be flip-flopping the role throughout camp.

Though the pads haven’t come on yet, Richardson has already shown plenty of improvements from the spring practices. He’s clearly being able to stack days throughout camp.

According to Sports Illustrated’s Horseshoe Huddle, Richardson had a solid day throwing the ball in the limited work.

During 11-on-11s, he completed 3-of-4 passes, all of which were within five yards, with passes to Isaiah McKenzie, Evan Hull, and Michael Pittman Jr. During 7-on-7s, Richardson had the play of the day as he rolled to his left, flicked his wrist, and completed a deep touchdown pass to Alec Pierce of about 55 yards much to the delight of the jubilant crowd.

They also mentioned a moment in which Richardson likely should have kept an option rather than handing it off but he quickly realized the mistake he made immediately after.

All in all, it seemed like a very strong day for the rookie in his first practice running with the ones.
