Colts’ Keenan Allen and Falcons’ Za’Darius Smith sit out the teams’ first joint practice

Indy’s Keenan Allen and Atlanta’s Za’Darius Smith did not participate in the first joint practice between the two NFL teams. Allen, who arrived early on Wednesday, observed the practice from the sidelines as usual. Smith, however, had not yet arrived in town for the workout. The Colts hope Allen will continue his stellar performance, having been the team’s leading receiver for over a decade.

Smith, a new addition to the Falcons, is expected to help bridge the gap left by injured players. The teams are set to face each other in a preseason game on Saturday.
