Cornerback Justin Walley flashes in short Colts training camp practice
Indianapolis held a shortened session two days after the preseason, focused mostly on the red-zone passing game.
Westfield - The Indianapolis Colts continue to favor young cornerback Justin Walley ahead of established players Sauce Gardner and Charvarius Ward. Walley, who has yet to play an NFL game, was held out of Thursday night's preseason game against the Patriots after a heavy workload in a joint practice with the team. During Saturday's short practice at Grand Park, Walley demonstrated his value, breaking up two passes in the end zone and making an impact in a practice focused on the red-zone passing game.
If starter Ward, who suffered a back injury, misses time, the Colts may turn to Walley or rookie Cameron Taylor-Britt. Jones completed only 7 of 13 passes in the practice, with three throws resulting in touchdowns. Backup Riley Leonard and Anthony Richardson performed well, while backup Jaylon Jones was evaluated for a concussion.
Other players sidelined include Luke Tenuta, Jalen Farmer, Anthony Gould, Nolan Rucci, Derrick Nnadi, CJ Allen, DJ Giddens, Alec Pierce, and new add-ation, Ulysses Bentley IV, who caught a shovel pass from scrambling quarterback Josh Downs.
