The Indianapolis Colts wrapped up training camp practice No. 11 on Sunday. They will have one last practice on Monday before Green Bay comes to town for a joint practice.
But before we look ahead to what’s next, let’s take a look back at what took place on Sunday with three key takeaways.

Anthony Richardson bounces back
On Saturday, the offense worked in the red zone, and it was a particularly rough showing for Richardson. He would finish the 11-on-11 periods that day, completing just 1-of-6 passes.
However, on Sunday, he was able to bounce back. According to Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan, Richardson was 11-of-16 during the 11-on-11 periods.
“It was one of the most check down/running back specific throwing days I can recall from the young signal caller,” wrote Bowen.
Bad days are going to happen in the NFL. so being able to rebound is a must, and Richardson was able to do that.
Bowen noted that Daniel Jones was 2-of-7 passing to begin practice in a session where the Colts were trying to push the ball downfield. He finished the day 9-of-16 overall.

Shane Steichen names the Colts’ starting QB vs. Green Bay
Daniel Jones will start against the Packers. This was the plan prior to the preseason starting, but the playing time will be altered.
After Richardson’s outing against Baltimore was cut short and Jones saw 31 plays on offense, Jones will play a couple of series before Richardson takes over for the remainder of the first half. That way, over the two-game sample size, both quarterbacks will have roughly the same number of opportunities.
More injuries for the Colts
Not practicing on Sunday were safety Nick Cross and defensive end Kwity Paye. Cross is working through a hip flexor injury, and Paye has a groin injury.

As Nate Atkins of the Indy Star reported, there isn’t any real indication of how serious any of these injuries are.
Jaylon Jones and JuJu Brents both remain sidelined with hamstring injuries.
