The Indianapolis Colts returned to the practice field Tuesday for training camp after a few days off following the preseason opener.
Given the joint training camp practices set for Wednesday and Thursday against the Detroit Lions, the Colts opted to keep the practice lighter. They didn’t wear full pads and kept the contact to a minimum.
Here’s a quick roundup of the news, notes and highlights from Day 11 of Colts training camp:
Back at practice
Keke Coutee (groin), Isaiah Rodgers (concussion), JoJo Domann, Anthony Chesley, Dennis Kelly and Chris Williams (lower right leg) out today
DeMichael Harris and Forrest Rhyne back

More separation in the kicking competition?
Hard to see from where I was at, but looks like Blankenship went 5/5 on kicks and Verity went 2/5.

The Matt Ryan-Parris Campbell connection
Matt Ryan hits Parris Campbell in a tight window for a completion. Kenny Moore was just a bit slow trying to get there.

Mike Strachan without limitations
Mike Strachan with his first catch in 7-on-7 on a drag from Foles. Looks like no restrictions so far on Strachan who’s been on PUP due to a knee procedure.

Nick Cross PBU on an underthrow from Ryan
Ryan attempts the deepest ball of the day so far to Granson who appeared to be all by himself, the ball was under thrown enough to give S Nick Cross enough time to break up the attempt.

Kylen Granson getting involved
Granson has made a couple nice catches today. Ryan looking to him often today.
