16 takeaways from Day 1 of Colts minicamp
The Indianapolis Colts were on the field Tuesday for their first day of mandatory minicamp at the Indiana Farm Bureau Football Center.
Practicing indoors Tuesday, these minicamp practices are the final time the team will be together until the team returns from summer break at the end of July for training camp at the Grand Park Sports Campus in Westfield.
Here’s a quick look at the news, notes and highlights from Day 1 of Colts minicamp:

Kenny Moore II on what he told Isaiah Rodgers Sr.:
"The same thing you would do if you had a brother who was going through something. You would give him a hand. You would tell him you would always be there for him. … You would do all you can to make sure he persevered.”
