The Indianapolis Colts were back on the practice field for training camp on Friday after canceling practice on Thursday in light of the shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
With just over two weeks until the start of the regular season for the Colts, this time is crucial for many players. Here’s a quick roundup of Friday’s practice at West 56th Street on August 28:
