Colts Training Camp Thread 8/5

[PrincetonTiger]

Today is the last practice before the team travels to New York to play the Jets

[PrincetonTiger]

Unless schedules have changed practice is at the same time as Monday's: 1:55 Eastern

[Valpo2004]

Isn't the last practice before the game closed to the public or is that practice tomorrow?

 

Edit: I just looked it up. . . this is the last public practice.  It looks like they may have a practice closed to the public tomorrow before they leave.

@KBowenColts: Chuck Pagano said Xavier Nixon, Ahmad Bradshaw (rest), Kelvin Sheppard and Josh McNary won’t practice today. Hakeem Nicks (foot) will.

Any details on the Sheppard injury?

Best info thus far, should be more later on

@KBowenColts: Morning walk-through done. Kelvin Sheppard has a boot on his left leg. Inside linebacker depth has dealt with some injuries this camp.

Maybe he should start wearing shin guards like they do in futbol... o wait...

[Smonroe]

I like how Pagano is taking no chances with injuries. I know they can happen anytime, but he's being very cautious once a player gets dinged.

I'm confident that almost all the guys he's holding back could play if it were important.

That's it?  

 

I mean a good enough kick and ow that would hurt. . . but he needed to be carted off the field for that?

My thoughts too

Kicked in the shin by another large professional athlete. I'm guessing it's a little different than we are used to

Good news heard he was carted off then we signed Shawn Loiseau was hoping that was not connected . Those shin injuries can hurt a lot hit the right nerve and you can't walk for a bit .

That's why in soccer we have that magic spray that miraculously and instantly fixes these kind of injuries ;)

Loiseau was signed before the Sheppard injury but he was carted off

[PrincetonTiger]

I am still not convinced that Sheppard injury was just being kicked for 2 Reasons

1. He was carted off the field

2. He is in a boot

lol

[lollygagger8]

I have divots all up and down my shins from soccer even with shin pads on. 

 

I really don't believe that warrants a boot, but whatever. Some people's pain tolerance is higher than others I guess.

Dam I guess I got my news in the wrong order oops

I read they were using the cart for any leg injury, no matter how minor. It didn't sound too bad.

The boot fixes everything

Hopefully they were just being precautious! And maybe the boot is just helping take weight off of the shin.

People dog on Sheppard and say he isn't that good! But if you think about it he is probably one of the best back up linebackers in the NFL.

Didn't Donald Thomas walk off the field after tearing his quad?

By the end of the season, he was doing well. We need some experienced guys.

Don't know.

True you don't wear a boot for a shin injury!! He could have a bone bruise which does hurt but IMO wouldn't require a boot!

Sheppard sucked early last year and came on later in the year. For a guy his size I would like to see him be MORE PHYSICAL!

Da'Rick Rogers, a.k.a Capt. Hook, per Pagano, looks to be practicing today. Sat out yesterday with patch on right eye. #ColtsCamp

[MB-ColtsFan]

So, what's the deal with McNary?  I think he's only practiced a couple of times and none of them contact?  I could be wrong?
He's another guy i'd like to see get in a good camp.  Not happening thus far.

Next time the #Colts take the field will be in NY for a preseason game vs. the Jets! #FootballIsBack #ColtsCamp pic.twitter.com/JPFDAz18Z9

Captain Hook didn't have an eye patch

3/4 speed today in practice. Coaches telling players to "slow down" in ST drills. Sounds strange, but makes sense. Game Thursday. #Colts

Very good question

[IndyD4U]

In our daily update, Pat McAfee is back at QB in the WR drills. Looks like he beat out Chuck Pagano for the camp QB job in drills. #Colts

Luck gifts. He gave them to the d last yr, didnt translate to the gms. These Luck ints in TC should be a concern
