@CraigKColts: DHB helmet in hand on field. Good sight. Looking at temps in 80s for practice. Took two weeks to get there.

@KBowenColts: Reggie Wayne on blocking: "If they need me to turn 87 into 78 than I'll block. I just want to do whatever I can to help this team win."

"@KBowenColts: Wayne on moving around in formations: "Right where you thought you saw me the play before I'll be somewhere different the next. Stay tuned."

@KBowenColts: Vick Ballard sees 1,000-yard year thanks to a smarter runner, a committed ground attack & the presence of a fullback http://t.co/cEQR5tU51b

Werner not practicing.  Dwayne Allen still nowhere to be seen.

[TKnight24]

@KBowenColts: Colts DC Greg Manusky says some his starters will play anywhere from 15 plays to possibly the whole first quarter

@KBowenColts: Off. Coordinator Pep Hamilton said Andrew Luck would tell Pep at Stanford that he wanted to get hit early during games to feel game ready

@KBowenColts: Cassius Vaughn w/ a camera on his helmet 2day. Head to http://t.co/2Tcwh2PENh later to see Vaughn's view of practice https://mobile.twitter.com/KBowenColts/status/365896445833908225/photo/1

@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.

 

It's even more fun to see you're franchise QB acting like a linebacker.

[TKnight24]

@CraigKColts: #Colts Pep Hamilton says basically all of the offense has been installed 2 weeks into camp. Not looking for percentages, just productivity.

i was watching videos last night on colts.com they interviewed him. Dudes got some hair now. Looked odd not being bald

why isnt werner practicing?

[CantBeStopped]

Just wanna let you all know your doing a great job keeping me informed. I work second shift so im typically at work when practice starts but i keep up on my colts through you all!

[Guest TeamLoloJones]

why isnt werner practicing?

Maybe they are holding him out so our offensive lineman can feel good about themselves for a day.

[CantBeStopped]

I say first play of the game sunday send ty on a go route right up the middle. Boom TD!

[Smonroe]

why isnt werner practicing?

There's supposed to be an injury update, including Allen's, after practice according to Chappell.

[Stephen]

lol yea werner and chapman aren't practicing and they are the two I want to see play the most on d

[Guest TeamLoloJones]

Ditto

And then fake the PAT with griff holding...WHALEN for 2!!!

[Stephen]

Prob be best to hide any fakes til reg season

[indy1888]

why isnt werner practicing?

 

Don't know, he reportedly left the walkthrough early as well.

[TKnight24]

I could see Griff Whalen playing a similar role like Jaxon Shipley plays for Texas. Couple reverses that then turn into Whalen throwing it. Or like others have stated, fake field goals that lead to him throwing a 2 point conversion or a touchdown to someone like Justice Cunningham or someone

I bet Pep will want to get Griff on the field as much as can...

Allen went for a second opinion.  Team never disclosed what the first opinion was.  Results of second opinion coming later tonight.

 

This is really bad.  If I were a betting man, I would put it all on a stress fracture.

 So we get to see if Vaughn can actually turn his head. That might beworth watching.

[Stephen]

Werner has a sore knee so was held out of practice

#colts QB Andrew Luck one-upped Bo Derek today. She was a perfect 10. Luck was perfect on all 11 passes today. OK, too cheesy?

Colts TE Dwayne Allen is going for a second opinion on an injured foot.

Colts beat writers were surprised to see Allen out of Friday's training camp practice, and the injury explains why. There are no further details available. We hate to project missed time, but losing Allen for any period would help Coby Fleener's fantasy outlook. Allen is Indy's "flex" or "move" tight end.

Sitting out Friday: Allen, Landry, Thornton, Holmes, Freeman, TWilliams, Moore, McNary, Lefedge, Harvey, Werner

 

Andrew Mishler ‏@andrewmishler 12m

The Colts have been lucky so far with injuries. Losing the second-best player on the team in Dwayne Allen would make up for that.

Yup. RT @TrueBluecoltfan: @ColtsAuth_Kyle Second opinion is coach speak for surgery or no surgery

S LaRon Landry (knee) did not practice Friday. Pagano remains hopeful that he will be a lee to play Sunday vs. Buffalo.

Dwayne Allen going for a second opinion on his foot. Bad sign. If it was minor he would have been fine with the first opinion

 

Kyle J. Rodriguez ‏@ColtsAuth_Kyle 26m

Second opinion means missing a large number of games is a distinct possibility, if not probability.

That is some extreme looking at the bright side

Could be interesting start to season if allen misses time

By interesting you mean depressing right?

second opinion = lisfranc

That was no problem last year...we got him hit all game long with our poor OL. Hopefully we will provide some better protection this year and allow him to set his feet and increase his completion percentage.

Actually I think this would HURT Fleener's outlook. He would see the field more but if he is called to block more (something he doesn't excell at) would keep him from running the type of routes that would take advantage of his size/speed. I will be very depressed if Allen misses major time. I really really like him and expected big things for him. Hopefully its negative or at the very worst a month or so....a season....I don't even want to think about. When we tried to mimic NE's TE's this is not how I imagined we were thinking.

[Stephen]

That just means justice c has to step up

[Guest TeamLoloJones]

Well whatever the diagnosis is...I hope Allen does what's right for his long term health.  He's a franchise tight end and a stud.  It will hurt a lot to lose him for any significant amount of this season, but foot injuries tend to linger if they don't get a chance to fully heal. He's obviously a huge piece for this team going forward, so I hope he takes that into account when making his decision...Get well Dwayne!

I might be mistaken but I thought I seen Whalen line up beside luck on a play
