Colts Training Camp Journal, Day 15: Matt Ryan Shines, Kwity Paye Goes Down

The Indianapolis Colts took the sector Wednesday for his or her second to final follow of coaching camp in 2022.

The Colts have been in shells and shorts for the 90-minute session at Grand Park. The Colts have yet another follow on Thursday earlier than they play their closing preseason sport in opposition to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Lucas Oil Stadium. Head coach Frank Reich stated earlier this week that he expects the starters to play near a half in Saturday’s contest.

My colleague Jake Arthur couldn’t attend, so I roamed the sidelines and took in the entire motion from Westfield. Here’s what I noticed from the Colts as they wind down coaching camp.

TEAM

– The next gamers didn’t take part in follow on Wednesday: security Will Redmond, cornerback Isaiah Rodgers, linebacker Brandon King, offensive deal with Dennis Kelly, and middle Ryan Kelly.

– Ryan Kelly missed follow on Wednesday attributable to a optimistic COVID take a look at. With the starters anticipated to play near a half on Saturday, Kelly’s standing is up within the air for the matchup. Proper guard Danny Pinter changed Kelly and moved over to middle with the beginning offense.

OFFENSE

– The Colts centered on fast passes and crossing ideas all through follow on Tuesday. The offense received the day with large receivers getting open and changing on most performs. That end result has sometimes been the case when the Colts haven’t been in pads.

– Matt Ryan seemed very correct on Tuesday. Ryan went 10-of-12 in staff durations with a landing to Parris Campbell down the left sideline. Ryan seemed in management, and the offense had good circulate all day.

– The large receivers and tight ends confronted off in opposition to the cornerbacks and safeties in 1-on-1s on the aim line as we speak. The offense and protection break up the wins 6-to-6. Right here have been the outcomes of every rep: Stephon Gilmore def. Michael Pittman Jr.; Kylen Granson def. Rodney McLeod; Campbell def. Tony Brown; Kenny Moore II def. Alec Pierce; Ethan Fernea def. Chris Wilcox; Nick Cross def. Michael Jacobson; Ashton Dulin def. Anthony Chesley; Brandon Facyson def. Mike Strachan; Dezmon Patmon def. Gilmore; Julian Blackmon def. Mo Alie-Cox; Brown def. Keke Coutee; Samson Nacua def. Marvel Inform III.

– The large receivers have been as soon as once more engaged on getting off the road of scrimmage as we speak. Extensive receivers coach Reggie Wayne was hitting receivers with the luggage as they launched off the road. The Colts know their group must be extra bodily to win 1-on-1 matchups.

– Pittman continued to dominate follow and be the favourite goal of Ryan. Each different play within the full staff interval, Ryan was throwing Pittman’s route and changing. These two have an apparent reference to each other, and it’s no secret who Ryan’s favourite goal is.

– With Kelly out, the Colts beginning offensive line was as follows: left deal with Matt Pryor, left guard Quenton Nelson, middle Pinter, proper guard Will Fries, and proper deal with Braden Smith. The Colts additionally rotated rookie Bernhard Raimann in at left deal with with the first-team offense. When Raimann was in, Pryor would swing over to proper deal with whereas Smith shifted inside to proper guard.

DEFENSE

– The headline of the day for the Colts’ protection was not an excellent one. Throughout 11-on-11 work, defensive finish Kwity Paye went down with a decrease left leg damage. Paye was attended to by trainers on the sector after which walked off gingerly below his personal energy. Trainers wrapped up Paye’s leg in ice from proper under his left knee down his calf. No phrase on the severity of the damage, however the Colts did unwrap Paye’s leg on the finish of follow, and he was strolling round.

– With Paye on the sidelines, Tyquan Lewis joined the first-team protection on the Large Finish place. Lewis has been getting higher all through camp as he will get his toes below him. Lewis has proven no indicators of hindrance from the torn patellar tendon he suffered final season.

– Yannick Ngakoue and DeForest Buckner continued to be disruptive alongside the line of defense. Buckner struck first, bursting via the inside of the offensive line for a would-be sack of quarterback Nick Foles. Ngakoue was subsequent, burning Raimann on a pace rush for an additional would-be sack of Foles.

SPECIAL TEAMS

– The Colts confirmed that punter Rigoberto Sanchez tore his Achilles after follow on Tuesday. The lack of Sanchez is a brutal one for the Colts, as Sanchez has been used as a weapon within the kicking sport and is a Professional Bowl-level expertise. Particular groups coordinator Bubba Ventrone was sporting a Rigoberto Sanchez shirt at follow and was visibly emotional when speaking to the media about his punter.

– The Colts weren’t with out a punter for lengthy. The NFL Community’s Mike Garafolo has reported that the Colts will probably be signing punter Matt Haack. Haack was launched by the Buffalo Payments this week after one season in Buffalo, the place he had 52 punts for two,230 yards (42.9 avg.).
