Colts and Falcons engage in 'a little friendly banter' on second day of joint workouts
The Colts and Falcons had two minor incidents of pushing, shoving and talking during their joint workout Thursday
On the second day of joint practices between the Indianapolis Colts and Atlanta Falcons, quarterbacks Daniel Jones and Riley Leonard faced off against each other in a red zone-heavy session. Jones struggled, completing only three out of four throws, while Leonard showed promise, finishing 3-for-4 with a touchdown. Both teams engaged in a little friendly banter, with Leonard jokingly remarking that it took former Vikings wide receiver Laquon Treadwell 10 years to make a touchdown catch.
The incident seemed to energize Leonard, who completed his first touchdown reception of the day after the exchange. Despite some shoving and yelling between players, no serious altercations occurred. Both teams' starting offenses took a backseat to the second-string units, with Leonard demonstrating better performance in the red zone than his fellow backup Anthony Richardson.
The Colts ultimately secured points with a defensive pass interference call and a successful 48-yard field goal by kicker Spencer Shrader.
