Ballard indicates two guys will start on PUP: DL Tyquan Lewis (knee) and TE Will Mallory (foot).

Could be a few more guys who won't practice early in training camp.

Ballard says LB Shaquille Leonard has passed his physical.

Doesn't mean he will be full contact from the outset. Have a progression plan in place. Will build things up. No timeline.

TE Jelani Woods said he’ll be a full go when training camp begins tomorrow.

He missed OTAs and veteran minicamp with a hamstring injury.

The Colts also added Taylor to the PUP List to go along with the two previously-mentioned players:

The Indianapolis Colts today made the following roster moves:

Placed on Active/Physically Unable to Perform list:

Tyquan Lewis, DE

Will Mallory, TE

Jonathan Taylor, RB

Colts add RB Jonathan Taylor to PUP list. Taylor had off-season ankle surgery + missed spring work.

Ballard didn't mention his name earlier as a PUP candidate (Jim Irsay said Taylor was "healed up" a few weeks back).

We will see if Taylor talks tomorrow after the first practice.

Ballard mentioned there might be another player or two placed on PUP after physicals; he didn’t say Taylor.

Encouraged to see that Leonard didn't start on PUP

"Ballard didn't mention his name earlier as a PUP candidate (Jim Irsay said Taylor was "healed up" a few weeks back). We will see if Taylor talks tomorrow after the first practice."

Perhaps nothing but this move suddenly comes when JT is talking Contract Extentions and why no multiple year deals...

Also hoping Leonard can play a full season this year without falling completely apart in the process.

Seems fishy to me at least on JT - signed "Mr. Conspiracy"

You aren't alone.

Yesterday Stephen Holder shared those same sentiments about JT:

Jonathan Taylor to the active/PUP list is different than what we were told this morning.

Granted, he had ankle surgery in the offseason.

But I think this raises some obvious questions that this is about something else.

Wednesday July 26 Practice:

CB JuJu Brents and SS Julian Blackmon both sitting out today

https://twitter.com/JoelAErickson/st...22328358461443

Blackmon and Brents both dealing with hamstrings, per Steichen

https://twitter.com/RomeovilleKid/st...03215150014467

RB Jonathan Taylor is here, although he obviously isn’t practicing because he’s on PUP.

https://twitter.com/JoelAErickson/st...21892167598087

Steichen didn’t offer a timeline for Taylor’s return, said only that Taylor would be back out here when he’s healthy

https://twitter.com/KBowen1070/statu...10680549842945

LB Shaquille Leonard is pretty darn active for Day 1.

All of positional work. And now has taken a couple of starting reps to begin 11-on-11 and 7-on-7 sessions.

Shaq Leonard: “I feel way different from last year.”

Said he had game day nerves today. Didn’t sleep last night. Finally felt his normal self after individual drills.

QB Gardner Minshew is getting the first team reps to start.

Very encouraging to hear about Leonard.

Are they officially citing the ankle as the reason for JT on PUP?

You know the Colts, they wouldn't be that specific. They would say something like he has an issue in the "lower extremities region".

Substitute testicular for extremities, probably a bit more accurate

Friday July 28 Practice:

https://twitter.com/RomeovilleKid/st...29052925140992

SS Julian Blackmon and CB JuJu Brents (hamstrings) are still out

https://twitter.com/RomeovilleKid/st...57760650190848

DE Samson Ebukam did not practice due to a hamstring injury.

https://twitter.com/RomeovilleKid/st...73626603315211

Colts rookie WR Josh Downs says a knee injury he sustained during the first game of his last season at UNC was "lingering around" and he got it "dealt with."

Asked directly if he had surgery: "That's just between me and the team, but the issue is taken care of."

QB Anthony Richardson took all 15 starting reps. Reverse of day 1. Was 3-of-5. Uncorked some more down the field stuff in 7-on-7.

QB Gardner Minshew had 6 straight completions to end the day
