The Indianapolis Colts conducted their first joint training camp practice with the Detroit Lions at the Grand Park Sports Campus in Westfield on Wednesday.
The Colts will have two of these practices Wednesday and Thursday this week before the preseason game at Lucas Oil Stadium on Saturday. Given the competitive and physical nature of these joint practices, the starters are not expected to play in Saturday’s preseason game.
Here’s a roundup of the news, notes and highlights from Day 12 of Colts training camp:

Colts winning 1v1s handedly
Matt Ryan is dealing in 1-on-1’s right now. Colts WRs vs Lions DBs and the Colts are winning almost every matchup. Fighting through physical play and making contested catches.

Good starts for Indy WRs
Good starts in 7-on-7 for Alec Pierce and Michael Pittman Jr. Pierce had a very good one-handed catch against tight, physical coverage. #Colts

Another scrap
Extra curricular post whistle involving Michael Pittman.
Looked like Jeff Okudah sparked a calmed down situation. Quenton Nelson in there.
No fights though yet!

Alec Pierce continues his strong day
Alec Pierce with the catch of camp just now.
Red zone fade. Believe Pierce caught it against the back of a Lions defender before pulling it in.

Big day for the offense
Best day of camp for both Matt Ryan and Alec Pierce. Ryan was 10-12 with three TDs and no picks.
Pierce had the highlight reel TD catch and another beautiful grab down the sideline. #Colts— George Bremer (@gmbremer) August 17, 2022
