Colts’ 2022 training camp roundup: Day 4
After two days off, the Indianapolis Colts were back on the field Tuesday to kick off the second week of training camp at the Grand Park Sports Campus in Westfield.
Tuesday’s practice was a bit different because this was the first time the Colts threw on the pads and got physical. There were plenty of team drills and red zone work seemed to be the focus toward the end of the practice.
Here’s a quick roundup of the news, notes and highlights from Day 4 of Colts training camp:

Alec Pierce starts second week strong
ALEC PIERCE IS THE REAL DEAL. The rookie juggles then hauls in a catch on his finger tips for the first big crowd reaction of the day. #Colts

Iron sharpens Iron
Interesting thing I’ve noticed at camp: Colts are sticking Stephon Gilmore on Alec Pierce almost every rep. The vet’s certainly getting the best of the rookie, but think of how much it’ll help the young wideout down the line.

MPJ gets revenge on Facyson
Michael Pittman Jr. just smoked Brandon Facyson on a go route for a 43-yard TD from Matt Ryan.
Facyson has had a good camp as the CB2, but that’s a tough matchup even if you’re physical.

Offense running sprints after practice
Frank Reich must’ve not liked how the offense finished practice. Suicides for the whole unit. A lot of them.
