During the time off between minicamp ending and training camp starting, Indianapolis Colts quarterbacks Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson got together out in California with Michael Pittman and other members of the wide receiver and tight end units.
As Pittman described on Tuesday, when meeting with the local media, this provided everyone the opportunity to get to know each other better and to work out together.
“We were in California for about half a week, and we got in a lot of good work, and we had a lot of fun while doing it,” Pittman said via Locked on Colts. “I think guys got to know each other better, and that was the whole point of it.”
Pittman continued, “So we went every day (to work out) that we were there, except for the day that guys got in. So we got three days of solid work and we definitely had fun and we definitely worked too.”
Richardson would miss most of OTAs and all of minicamp, dealing with a shoulder injury. Rest was required, but ESPN’s Stephen Holder would report recently that Richardson was throwing with velocity leading up to training camp, and GM Chris Ballard said on Tuesday that he would be “good to go” for practice, although the Colts would monitor his throwing volume.
With Richardson sidelined during offseason programs, Daniel Jones took the majority of the first-team reps. It’ll be important for Richardson to get off to a fast start upon his return.
“He (Richardson) actually came out and was part of it,” Pittman said of the trip to California. “Obviously, he’s had his deal (shoulder injury), but we’re going to get everything that we need during this session here. So it’ll be fun.”
