Former Notre Dame turned Indianapolis Colts star offensive guard Quenton Nelson underwent a procedure to remove a bone fragment from his foot on August 3 and appeared to be headed towards missing his first NFL game since being drafted in 2018.
That could be changing however as Nelson returned to practice for the Colts on Monday.
With that said, there is still a very long way to go as Nelson didn’t participate in 11-on-11 sessions but did participate in individual work during 7-on-7.
“You have to prove they can do consecutive days of that and keep ramping it up and see how it responds,” Colts head coach Frank Reich said.
Nelson has been selected as an NFL All-Pro in all three of his professional seasons to date.
“I see these guys out in stretch, and a couple other guys healthy,” Reich added, “and I was like, ‘Looks like we got a squad out here. I think we’re gonna be all right.'”
