The Indianapolis Colts are in the final week of their virtual workout program before breaking for summer, though that has a different meaning this time around.
Typically, the Colts would have been together this entire time at the team’s facility on West 56th Street. But everything they have done has been in isolation so “breaking for summer” doesn’t have the same ring to it.
Even so, the Colts are expected to begin training camp on July 28, barring any changes with the league’s schedule due to the coronavirus.
“I’m going to leave a two-week window after this week for position coaches to have one-on-one Zoom meetings with young players. Even though we’re finished and there will be no team meetings, there will still be some positional meetings for two more weeks after this week just on an as-needed basis more so with the focus on the young guys,” said Frank Reich on Monday. “Then July 22 is the tentative start date for our rookies to return to camp. Then Chap (Mike Chappell) as you said, July 28 is the tentative report date for the vets.”
The Colts also won’t be able to hold training camp at the Grand Park Sports Complex in Westfield and will instead be doing so at the Indiana Farm Bureau Football Center on West 56th Street.
It isn’t clear if the team will make accommodations for fans to attend training camp, but it might be difficult even if they wanted to given the limited space the Colts have at their practice facility.
Regardless, the team wraps up their offseason workouts this week and will hopefully be returning for a full training camp on July 28.
