WR1 and QB1 syncing up
Good start in 7-on-7 for Michael Pittman Jr. Really seems to be getting in sync with Matt Ryan the last couple days. #Colts
— George Bremer (@gmbremer) August 8, 2022
Dezmon Patmon getting in on the fun
Dezmon Patmon and Nick Foles hook up for a deep completion in 7-on-7. Offense off to a much better start today. #Colts

Matt Ryan's first INT goes to Blackmon
First 11-on-11 pick of camp goes to Blackmon off of Ryan. Looked like Dulin broke off a route to the outside and Ryan thought he’d go to the corner

Facyson making plays in the red zone
BRANDON FACYSON BREAK UP! Facyson hits Alec Pierce on the catch in the endzone and ball pops out. #Colts

Red zone highlights
Tough red-zone series for the first-team O. DeForest Buckner tipped a pass, Brandon Facyson knocked a TD catch away from Alex Pierce and Michael Pittman Jr. dropped a TD.
Keke Coutee did convert with a one-handed TD in the back of the end zone. #Colts— George Bremer (@gmbremer) August 8, 2022
Keke Coutee grabs a TD
Batted pass for Buckner, great PBU by Facyson, Pittman Jr. drop and finally a Coutee TD in red zone with Ryan

Another INT for Matt Ryan
Another Matt Ryan INT.
2-minute drill. Michael Pittman and Ryan not on the same page on a deep route.
Undrafted corner Dallis Flowers with the interception.

Yannick Ngakoue welcoming the rookie
Back to back sacks for Ngakoue against No. 2 offense (Raimann at LT) and then Blackmon does pushups for dropping a sure pick. Great break on Foles pass over middle

House call for Jonathan Taylor
Taylor over the left side and to the house from 50 yards or so

End of practice
Jake Verity ends practice with a 45-yard FG.
Matt Ryan finishes 11-19 with two INT, three drops and a TD to Keke Coutee. #Colts— George Bremer (@gmbremer) August 8, 2022
Something to monitor with Parris Campbell
Parris Campbell wasn’t practicing today. Sounds like a tight hamstring. Was dressed to go.
A lot of reps for Keke Coutee.
