Practice is practice - and - live game action is what counts - regardless of where you are drafted. We'll start to see what "shakes out" across the league once the preseason games begin. We are still a few weeks from the start of the regular season - and - as such - a lot of things can change - and - in a hurry.

I don't believe that the Colts have ANY intention of trading Jonathan Taylor!! I believe they are just doing their due diligence - in case JT is out for a while. Remember one thing: JONATHAN TAYLOR IS UNDER CONTRACT FOR THIS SEASON!! Remember another thing: Kenyan Drake and Kareem Hunt are BOTH on the "back 9" of their careers. ANYONE who thinks one or both of them could make up for the loss of Jonathan Taylor is on "goof juice"!!

DL Tyquan Lewis has been activated from the PUP list.

Per the "Around the NFL" staff: Colts running back Jonathan Taylor received an excused absence from practice as he continues to seek treatment for his ankle injury, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Tuesday on Inside Training Camp Live. Taylor has not been with the team since at least Monday, according to Rapoport, who says his absence will continue "for a little bit" as he hopes to ensure he's 100% healthy when the 2023 season begins. "Who he plays for when that season begins is a whole other topic," Rapoport added on ITC Live. "Obviously, that's something we've discussed -- the trade request is still outstanding -- but that is going on with Taylor today." A trade request came about following Taylor's meeting with Colts owner Jim Irsay last month. The former All-Pro wants a contract extension that puts him in line with the league's highest-paid running backs, but the Colts have not yet made a contract offer, according to Rapoport. Taylor is coming off a down year that paled in comparison to the 24-year-old's breakout campaign in 2021. The ankle injury certainly factored into Taylor's subpar season, which was limited to 11 games and saw career lows in just about every stat category imaginable. He underwent surgery on the ankle in January. While his status with Indianapolis remains in question, Taylor will be rehabbing his ankle for a full return, wherever that may be.

My answer would be - all of the above.

I wish Matt Ryan the very best in this new career venture. He's a future Hall of Famer for sure.

Doyel is paid (handsomely - I suspect) to be negative. That is why I DON'T read anything he writes.

I was happy for Miami Dolphins LB Zach Thomas this year!! I fully believe that Reggie Wayne - Robert Mathis - and - Dwight Freeney all make the hall. But - how soon is another question.

Congratulations to Malik Hooker!! He definitely has deserved this contract.

Thank you!!

Does anyone know what OT Jake Witt was put on IR? I haven't seen the reason - but - saw the transaction.

Thanks for the update - I had missed that information somehow. Thoughts & prayers going up for Jelani Woods - who I plan to draft in my fantasy league!!

Welcome Kenyan Drake!! But - I seriously question the signing of a 29-year old running back.

He was waived today - when they signed TWO NEW TE'S???? The TE room was already crowded and they've brought in THREE this week - what's up with that???

I think Chris Lammons was a part of the group - with Alvin Kamara - who assaulted a man in Vegas prior to the Pro Bowl game. Sorry to hear about his suspension - but - hope that he will have a positive impact on our team this season.

Just read that practice is being moved indoors due to the possibility of strong storms. Keep your eye to the sky - and - stay safe.

WHY Do you attend Colts training camp?

It's Jim Irsay's money - and - he can spend it like he wants!! I think this is a very thoughtful gesture on Irsay's part - and - as a former Floridian applaud him doing this. Best wishes Lolita!!

Former Colts RB Marlon Mack has signed with the Arizona Cardinals today. Best wishes with your new team!!

Welcome to the neighborhood Mr Rodgers!!

Verrrrrrrry interrrrrrresting!!

One snap at a time. One practice at a time. One game at a time. Do the work - reap the rewards!!
