Colts’ 2023 training camp roundup: Day 11

The Indianapolis Colts were back on the field Tuesday preparing for the final week of training camp at the Grand Park Sports Complex in Westfield.

With the Chicago Bears set to arrive in the Circle City this week for joint practices, the Colts had a lighter day in terms of the length of practice. The practices Wednesday and Thursday will be extremely physical against Matt Eberflus’ squad so it makes sense that Shane Steichen wanted to avoid pushing too far.

Kevin Toliver II with a pick

Gardner Minshew was just picked off by Kevin Tolliver II in 11-on-11. Pass was intended for Ashton Dulin on the sideline, but it wasn’t a great ball (looked underthrown) and Tolliver readjusted to pick it. #Colts
