The Indianapolis Colts were on the practice field Wednesday for their second day of mandatory minicamp at the Indiana Farm Bureau Football Center.
After spending Day 1 of minicamp indoors, the Colts were back outside getting work in as the offseason training program nears its conclusion. We also covered the takeaways from Day 1 of minicamp on Tuesday.
Head coach Shane Steichen decided to end minicamp early, which also means the offseason workout program officially concluded Wednesday.
Here’s a look at the news, notes and highlights from Day 2 of Colts minicamp:
Zack Moss absent for second straight day

Jake Funk getting reps with 1s
Probably insignificant toward the overall depth chart but noteworthy: With Jonathan Taylor and Zack Moss not practicing, Jake Funk has been the first RB up both days of minicamp so far. Deon Jackson/Evan Hull coming in after.

Dallis Flowers pick six!
Pick 6 for Dallis Flowers in 7-on-7 against Gardner Minshew. Nice catch by the young CB, who was backpedaling and had to leap to make the play. #Colts

Anthony Richardson's daily flash play
Richardson just had a nice play in 7s where he rolled to his right and floated a ball perfectly to Vyncint Smith over the defender, down the right sideline for about 15 yards.

Trevor Denbow with the highlight of the day
Trevor Denbow with a one-handed INT in 11-on-11 against Sam Ehlinger. Outstanding catch. Brought the entire defense off the sideline to celebrate. #Colts

QBs struggle for second straight day
Another rough day for the QBs. Anthony Richardson was 2-for-5 and Gardner Minshew went 1-for-3 in 11-on-11 work. Defense had all the highlights. #Colts

Jonathan Taylor on contract talks
Colts RB Jonathan Taylor says he and the Colts have had some recent contract talks and he’s hopeful for an extension before the season. But he also pointed out that he’s seen some disappointing developments with other RB contracts and is very aware of the realities.
