During a normal offseason, the Indianapolis Colts would be well into their offseason training program. The rookies would begin adjusting to life in the NFL for the first time while the team works on the field and in the classroom to prepare for the upcoming season.

However, this offseason hasn’t been like that at all. Every team has been isolated to their respective homes due to the coronavirus outbreak. But it hasn’t kept the Colts from getting their work in.
Though it’s not the same as being in the room and on the field together, head coach Frank Reich told reporters that the work they’ve done so far this offseason has been extremely productive.
Reich says offseason installation has been “extremely productive.” Two hours a day of meetings, two hours of workouts. #Colts

The Colts have been monitoring the workouts for the players with devices sent to their homes. Some players are even keeping up with each other by FaceTiming during the workout sessions.

It will be incredibly difficult to gauge how much this work in the offseason will impact the regular season—whenever that will be. But that isn’t keeping them from doing as much as they can to ensure a productive offseason until they get back into the building together.
