After a slow start offensively, Andrew Luck completes eight of his final 10 passes on the afternoon

[Dustin]

@Coltsfanwilson1m

Josh McNary giving pursuit, slipped and grabbed hamstring. Walking it off, getting stretched out by trainer. Just went to locker room.

[Dustin]

@KBowenColts1m

Butler the star defensively. For the most part the rain held off this afternoon. Colts will be back on the practice field tomorrow at 1:50

[HtownColt]

Sweet, took longer than I thought, but two weeks until the first scuffle. Now that's vintage training camp

@pwilson24now

#Colts get chippy. Offense/defense converge after tempers flare. RT Joe Reitz was in heat of it. Don't know defender.

 

I'm just glad we get to hear something about an offensive lineman that doesn't include "Beat by Mathis/Werner" or bowling pinned by Josh Chapman

[TKnight24]

I bet Laron Landry was the defender. He took one finger & knocked Reitz helmet off :funny:

But in all seriousness, scuffles in camp only show the hunger of this team. As long as they're not like legit brutal fights

@Coltsfanwilson16s

Just had the first "fight" of camp. Couldn't tell who started it, but Reitz lost helmet and coaches immediately pulled him

 

 

as the great brian mitchell once said "I like a good fight, a legal one"

Antoine Bethea believes this Colts secondary might be the most physical unit he's been apart of in 8 seasons in Indy blogs.colts.com/2013/08/08/phy…

Vick Ballard on his vision: "Last year I was just running. Now I recognize defensive fronts, our blocking schemes, & am running smarter."

@Coltsfanwilson: Injury Update: Williams (quad), Green (hamstring), McNary (hamstring). No update on Allen yet. DHB participated as much as team planned.

[coltmb]

So did Butler get those picks working as a safety(saw someone say he was practicing as a safety) or was he in as a CB?

teddy or kerwynn?

He practice some at safety in OTA's not in training camp, but might play safety vs the bills along with Josh Gordy.

He got those two picks playing CB

[HtownColt]

teddy or kerwynn?

Didn't say

Edit: it's teddy.

@KBowenColts: The injuries at practice were CB-Marshay Green (hamstring), CB-Teddy Williams (quad) and Josh McNary (hamstring). Colts DBs thin right now

[TKnight24]

That was the joke HTown -__-

Forget I ever posted it. Gosh, Colts fans ruin everything these days lol

ok Id be more concerned if it was kerwynn

[TKnight24]

I expected some leg injuries today. Rain & football don't really mix if it's on a turf field. Now if it's grass & I do mean natural grass, then the injury rate decreases a bit

Hope Josh McNary will be okay

[Indyfan4life]

Adam Schefter on NFL Live just said it didn't look good for Dwyane Allen and his foot.

[coltsfanatic24]

Mike Chappell @mchappell51 14m

Checked with #colts P Pat McAfee and he said he hit from 52, 59, 60 and 65. His 62 FGA hit the upright. Well up the upright. Thunderleg.

[Dustin]

Adam Schefter on NFL Live just said it didn't look good for Dwyane Allen and his foot.

Was he the one who said DHB was gonna miss a significant amount of time?

[Smonroe]

No, that was Mort.  Unless they're in the training room, they're guessing. 

[weslo1812]

Well I guess this might give Cunningham a chance. Gonna be real sad if we lose Allen for an extended period of time though. We had to know the Injuries were gonna come. We can never catch a break. Its almost like its just a given to hit us. I kinda expect it.

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

That would suck BIG TIME IF TRUE, but its not just us its every team. Sometimes its not the best team its who can keep there best players for the year.

True.  We've actually been better off that most teams right now as far as injuries.  Quality depth means the next man up doesn't hurt the team.  We're pretty good in most positions right now.

??? Look around the league, the Colts are ahead of the curve at this point

If Dwayne misses time that's a big blow. But on the bright side it would be great news to fantasy players who want to pick up Fleener

[CR91]

I was thinking the same thing

[Smonroe]

If Dwayne stayed healthy, Fleener might be a steal in a later round.  If Allen is hurt, Fleener goes early.  I want them both healthy.  

 

In the Manning/Edge/Marv/Reggie/Dallas days, you could field a fantasy team with mostly Colts players and win.  We may be getting back to those times.  But that bye week is brutal!

[PrincetonTiger]

thanks everyone for the practice updates

[bahhummbug]

I dont think landry is on the practice field

You messin with the Landry ?

[trueblueblood]

Landry wasn't even practicing

Exactly.

[CR91]

looks at landry. walks away slowly

This was the second one. The first one was last week I believe and the coaches stopped it quickly.

That's true as of now. Keyword now. We still got 4 weeks of pre season left, that's the worry. Plenty of time for more stuff to happen. Don't mean to be negative but its the truth. A lot of time left. That's the big worry.

[Legend of Luck]

No update on Allen yet? Im freakin out a lil bit..

[House]

It doesn't sound like there's going to be a happy outcome to this injury.

I guess I don't worry about injuries until they happen.

[Gavin]

Im not sure who that scuffle was between yesterday, at first I thought Reitz and Walden or Rayford but once they move down to the opposite end zone it gets difficult to see every single thing that goes on, I do know that Darius Butler got a Int yesterday, I wasn't impressed with Castonzos performance yesterday, Mathis whipped him pretty with a spin move. All of our running backs have the potential to be very very good catching the ball out of the backfield, especially Kerwynn Williams.

@CraigKColts: A Luck won't seek hits on field but just took a swipe at a tackling dummy just for kicks. Fun seeing young pros momentarily act like kids.
