Tyler Warren shines at Colts rookie minicamp

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Rookie minicamp got underway at the Colts complex on 56th Street on Friday.

All eyes were on the 14th overall pick, tight end Tyler Warren.

Warren officially signed with the Colts this week, and he’ll wear No. 84.

Warren wore No. 44 in college at Penn State, the same number that Colts linebacker Zaire Franklin wears. Warren said he never really asked Franklin that hard about wearing the No. 44 jersey with the Colts though.

The biggest thing on Warren’s mind on Friday though, was just the excitement of getting out on the practice field in Indianapolis.

“Being out here and actually playing football with the horseshoe on the helmet now is really cool,” Warren said. “So that’s just fun being out here. and it’s starting to feel like you’re back in it and I’ve had some guys text me and stuff when I got drafted, so to see them in person and start to mesh with the team will be fun.”

“Right now we’re just installing the offense right now,” Colts head coach Shane Steichen said. “Getting him to know the terminology and we’ll go from there, but smart player, what he was able to do at Penn State, and now to get him here was exciting.”

Steichen added that Warren had a couple good catches and was a physical presence out on the practice field.

And for Warren, it was nice to get the draft process behind him and just get back to playing football.

“I’m excited to be here and get back in the flow of football,” Warren said. “Actually getting on the field and playing football after this long process where I was doing a lot of stuff that wasn’t football. It was good to be out here with everybody and get back in the flow.”

Warren had 104 catches for 1,233 yards and eight touchdowns last year at Penn State, leading the Big Ten in receptions. Warren also was used in the run game, where he had 218 yards and another four touchdowns.

Colts rookie minicamp continues through Saturday.

Philip Rivers fell one throw short of storybook ending in his couch-to-Colts return

Philip Rivers fell one throw short of storybook ending in his couch-to-Colts return

He had one last throw left in that 44-year-old wing of his. For most of the afternoon, he’d been able to fool Father Time and frighten 68,771 Seattle Seahawks fans inside Lumen Field who’d come to bury Philip Rivers and, instead, watched him push their football team to the very brink of an impossible upset.

There had been a moment when it seemed Rivers might actually pull off the damn thing, too. That was with 1 minute and 55 seconds left in the game. The Colts led for so much of the game and were behind Seattle 15-13, but the ball was in the old man’s hands now. All day, he’d been careful and efficient. It got him a 13-3 lead at one point. Now, he needed to make a play.

And damned if he didn’t make a play.

Damned if he didn’t throw a 16-yard back-shoulder special to wide receiver Alec Pierce. Damned if that ball didn’t mean the Seahawks were now going to burn all of their timeouts because, in the NFL in 2025, just making it past midfield — as that throw did — means you’re in field goal range.

Philip Rivers comes out of retirement for Indianapolis Colts: NFL world reacts

The Indianapolis Colts have cooled considerably as the season has progressed, going from the NFL’s best record to out of the playoff picture entering Week 15 action.

But one of today’s notable storylines is the return of quarterback Philip Rivers after five years away from the NFL. He’s on the Colts’ active roster as they prepare to play the Seattle Seahawks.

The 44-year-old was on Lumen Field hours before kickoff, taking mental reps.

Colts QB Daniel Jones suffered a season-ending injury last week, and backup Riley Leonard suffered a knee injury, though he remains on the active roster. With Brett Rypien the only other QB on their roster and list of available QBs lacking, the Colts called the last signal-caller to lead them in a playoff game (after the 2020 season).

His comeback has piqued the interest of a former Colts coach and players, his former teammates on the Chargers, former NFL quarterbacks and even those from outside football.
