Shane Steichen was back, and the Indianapolis Colts completed their first padded practice of team training camp, with some sizzles and surprises on the morning. Without further ado, let's get to it:

Indiana Jones and the Road to Recovery

Leonard Leading the QB2 Competition?

Also noteworthy out of Colts camp today...

(I believe) Anthony Richardson didn't get any 11-on-11 work outside of the red zone.

Don't want to speak in absolutes here because I'm going off memory, but at minimum, Riley Leonard CLEARLY got more 11-on-11 reps.

Daniel Jones 5/7 today, Riley Leonard played 2 of the 3 second team periods #coltshttps://t.co/cjycubIQeN

Riley Leonard now working with the 2nd team in 11 on 11. Nice toss to Will Mallory over the middle. Gain of 15. #Colts

Sauce Gardner another impressive pass break up in first 11 on 11 team period of the day. He's looking like himself early on in camp. #Colts

Rookie AJ Haulcy Runs with 1st-Team D

After working alongside S Cam Bynum in first couple of practices, S Hunter Wohler is missing time with a hamstring injury. That's moved rookie A.J. Haulcy into the starting lineup.

Rookie CJ Allen with an Unheralded Play

A moment that stood out during the #Colts first padded practice of training camp was when rookie LB CJ Allen met a pulling Quenton Nelson at the line of scrimmage.

It was impressive how quickly Allen filled the hole. Nelson made sure to give his approval to the rook afterwards.
