The Indianapolis Colts had their first off day on Sunday and will return to the field at Grand Park on Monday for their first fully-padded practice of training camp. The first four days of camp were anything but routine as quarterback Carson Wentz missed practice Friday and Saturday due to a non-contact foot injury he suffered at the end of practice on Thursday. As a result, the Colts signed veteran NFL quarterback Brett Hundley. Hundley, a fifth round draft pick to the Packers in 2015, started nine games for Green Bay in 2017. Head coach Frank Reich will join the blue and white at Grand Park on Monday after missing the first week of camp due to a positive COVID-19 test. Practice at Grand Park is scheduled for 10-11:30 a.m. on August 2nd.
