On Saturday morning, the Indianapolis Colts were back at it for training camp practice, officially themed as ‘Salute for Service,’ and let’s get to the takeaways on what was a relatively quiet day:

Rocky Showing from Anthony Richardson, But No Official Demotion

#Colts CB Rob Carter Jr. just picked off QB Anthony Richardson Sr. in the end zone during an 11-on-11 drill.

Anthony Richardson just threw a BAD redzone interception to Robert Carter Jr. (intended for Deion Burks)

Ball was WELL behind Burks and Richardson stared him down the whole way.

Before I get asked about a tweet posted by someone who isn’t here, Anthony Richardson did not get demoted. Him and Riley Leonard have been rotating with the second and third-team offense all camp. There’s no development there.

Colts Secondary Stingy Again in Camp

Outside of an impressive toe-tapping Ashton Dulin touchdown on Cam Taylor-Britt (great ball placement by Jones), the #Colts passing attack was locked up in their high red zone 7-on-7 session.

Suffocating pass defense that resulted in multiple coverage sacks/throwaways. https://t.co/Wu7QrJWdsT
