NFL Trade Rumors NFL Trade Rumors

Colts

  • Colts LB Zaire Franklin says he won’t be available for the start of camp but is making progress following ankle surgery. There is currently no timetable for his return. (James Boyd)
  • Colts GM Chris Ballard said QB Anthony Richardson has “no restrictions other than volume” during the start of training camp. (Stephen Holder)
  • Ballard continued: “Do you think people regret Baker Mayfield‘s timeline? Sam Darnold‘s. Sometimes you got to have a little patience with a guy and let them grow through things… If you think, ‘Hey, he’s on the right trajectory,’ why are you going to flush it just because people outside think you should flush it? I don’t agree with that… It’s complicated… I know (we talk about) the mental reps, yes, but it’s physical reps, practice reps, all that stuff, when you miss it. It delays the timeline a little bit. I think we need to give Anthony every chance to be the best he could be. And I think he can be really good, but things have to come together.” (Stephen Holder)
