The Indianapolis Colts were back at training camp practice on Tuesday morning, for a consecutive day in full pads.

It was another hot late July day, but the Colts quarterbacks kept cool in the pocket.

Let’s get to the takeaways:

Colts Quarterbacks (*Sans Bean) Cool as Cucumbers

Colts practice observations, Day 6

Second straight really solid day for Anthony Richardson. He was 8-13 in 11-on-11, showed nice placement on short throws outside the numbers and lofted a smart under-pressure deep ball to get Anthony Gould open

Colts practice observations, Day

6 Daniel Jones was better than he's been, too. Not flashy, but he made some good plays with his legs and avoided staring down receivers as much Anthony Gould looks a good bit more comfortable running routes and adjusting to the ball

Colts practice observations, Day 6

Hunter Wohler had a pick off of a deflection. Active camp for the 7th-round rookie so far. The pick was on Jason Bean, who had a tough day
Riley Leonard uncorked a couple solid deep balls. We hadn't seen that in his game yet

Anthony Richardson has had another excellent day today. I’ve got him as 9-of-11 during 11-on-11s, with TDs to Michael Pittman Jr., Mo Alie-Cox, and Josh Downs.

Finished 10-of-15 with the 3 TD (had short rush TD also).

Daniel Jones with a good day also. 7-of-10 with a TD to Ashton Dulin. https://t.co/vULgfbeyVE

AD Mitchell Has Back-to-Back Strong Showings

Outstanding 7 on 7 session for AD Mitchell, had 3 of Jone’s 4 comp. One was a deep ball to the left vs Womack.

— Mike Chappell (@mchappell51) July 29, 2025

#Colts QB Daniel Jones & WR Adonai Mitchell have developed some chemistry it seems. Their 7-on-7 period w/ the 2nd team featured two huge connections on the sideline, one being a potential huge TD.

Regardless, good to see Mitchell hauling them in. Seems more comfortable in pads.

— Noah Compton (@nerlens_) July 29, 2025

During 7-on-7s, Daniel Jones found AD Mitchell three straight times for gains of roughly 30, 5, and 15 yards.

Rookie RB D.J. Giddens Continues to Look Good Out There

The patience. The cuts. The acceleration.#Colts rookie RB DJ Giddens has been hoopin’ in camp thus far. Potentially a perfect complement to Jonathan Taylor. Have I mentioned that he’s got the juice? pic.twitter.com/mNeV2PC5zl https://t.co/EeoPRO1efV

Rookie Tyler Warren Getting Some Short Yardage FB Work

(*Also has a nice catch!)

Shane Steichen brought rookie TE Tyler Warren over to the QBs/RBs individual period so that Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones could simulate a handoff to him from the fullback spot. #Colts

— Noah Compton (@nerlens_) July 29, 2025

First play of 7-on-7 with the #Colts starters saw Anthony Richardson fit a rope into Tyler Warren on a corner route to the sideline. A gorgeous tip-toe reception from the rook.

Big Grove Gets in Scuffle with Friendlies

#Colts DT Grover Stewart just threw RB Jonathan Taylor to the ground after Taylor made a short catch. Obviously, JT took exception and shoved Grove in the chest. And then LG Quenton Nelson came over and had some words for Grove, too.

Second day of pads has been physical.

— James Boyd (@RomeovilleKid) July 29, 2025

Memorable moment of the day from Colts camp: NT Grover Stewart busting through the starting OL and literally throwing RB Jonathan Taylor to the ground. JT was not happy about it. Haha.

All-Pro LB Zaire Franklin Ramping Up Rehab

Looks like Zaire Franklin is ramping us his rehab. He’s not in pads with everyone else, but does have his helmet. Looks like he’s gonna do some side work.
