Anthony Richardson follows with 2 great throws. Deep

Daniel Jones went 4-5 in the same period the #Colts 2nd team. Three of which were quick-hitting routes with the final completion being a fantastic ball on a crosser to Will Mallory for 30+ yards.

#Colts night practice parting thoughts:
— Noah Compton (@nerlens_) August 1, 2025
- both QBs had solid showings, lots of explosives early that tapered off towards end
- Laiatu Latu dominating from inside and out
- Justin Walley belongs
- AD Mitchell camp-best day
- Tyler Warren is that guy
- Ashton Dulin/Will Mallory

Might be #Colts WR AD Mitchell’s best day of camp so far. Just hauled in another deep ball. Cooking everybody.

Tyler Warren highlight. Leaping 1-hander over LB from Daniel Jones. Best catch of camp by any position.
— Mike Chappell (@mchappell51) August 1, 2025
#Colts TE Tyler Warren just made a sick catch. Daniel Jones put it in his area over the middle, and even though the pass was off, Warren reached back and tipped it to himself before catching it while falling down. Best catch I’ve seen in my four Colts camps.
— James Boyd (@RomeovilleKid) August 1, 2025
First-team defense.
Tyler Warren just made the best catch of this Colts training camp — by a mile. Incredible.

Daniel Jones a really nice throw to Will Mallory over the middle. Nice gain. Mallory with a solid camp thus far. Both Jones and AR with yet another productive day of camp. Stacking days to be sure. #Colts
— Dominic Miranda (@DomMirandaTV) August 1, 2025
#Colts QB AR Richardson just threw another beautiful deep ball to WR AD Mitchell, who came down with the contested catch. AR then ripped it over the middle to TE Will Mallory for a TD.
— James Boyd (@RomeovilleKid) August 1, 2025
Second-team defense.
Anthony Richardson to Adonai Mitchell on a ~50 yard connection up the right hash, props to Mitchell for the contested grab.
— Noah Compton (@nerlens_) August 1, 2025
Hurried to the line for the next play which was a quick hitch to Will Mallory for the score. #Colts

Impactful night from 91. 3 sacks tonight,including 2 that blew up a beat-the-clock drive by AR-led offense near end of practice. https://t.co/4wAn51MY72

#Colts CB Charvarius Ward is not practicing today. Nor is CB Jaylon Jones (hamstring) and CB JuJu Brents (hamstring).
— James Boyd (@RomeovilleKid) August 1, 2025
Jaylon Jones and JuJu Brents dealing with hamstring injuries. Shane Steichen said Jones’ more significant.

Colts training camp observations, Day 7
— Nate Atkins (@NateAtkins_) August 1, 2025
The pass game was helped considerably by the lack of DBs. No Ward, Brents or Jones, and you feel the lack of playmaking without them
Zaire Franklin’s ongoing absence is a little concerning after 7 missed days. LB depth is so thin
