Linebacker who played under Indianapolis Colts' DC Lou Anarumo signs with Raiders
Linebacker who played under Indianapolis Colts' DC Lou Anarumo signs with Raiders LB Germaine Pratt, who previously played under Colts' DC Lou Anarumo, has signed with the Raiders. Former Cincinnati Bengals' linebacker Germaine Pratt, who spent his entire six-year career up to this point playing with current Indianapolis Colts' defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo, is reportedly signing with the Las Vegas Raiders on a one-year deal, according to Jordan Schultz. Pratt was released by the Bengals earlier this week, making him a free agent and able to sign with any team. For a few reasons, the Colts seemed like a logical fit. For one, there is the familiarity with Anarumo's scheme, which would not only make for a quick adjustment for Pratt, but having his experience in the meeting rooms and on the practice field during training camp could be valuable for other Colts' defenders as well. In addition to that, linebacker is a position where the Colts are quite thin, at least in terms of experience. Beyond Zaire Franklin on the depth chart, Jaylon Carlies' 242 career defensive snaps are the second-most on the team. Despite the inexperience, throughout this offseason, GM Chris Ballard has remained confident in the Colts' linebacker room. 'It's a position we've been pretty good drafting and developing. I give our coaches and scouts a lot of credit for that," Ballard said earlier this offseason via the Indy Star. "Don't forget now, E.J. Speed, it wasn't like he came on right away. No, it took him a little time. Zaire Franklin did not come on right away. Great special team player but eventually became a linebacker that was a good player." Pratt was a team captain with the Bengals and totaled 140 tackles last season, along with forcing six total takeaways. However, his production in coverage, according to PFF's metrics, did take a step back. It has not been reported whether or not the Colts had any interest.

Report: Colts' QB Daniel Jones 'taking advantage' of reps during minicamp
Report: Colts' QB Daniel Jones 'taking advantage' of reps during minicamp Indianapolis Colts' QB Daniel Jones is reportedly capitalizing on the additional reps he is getting in minicamp. Through the first two days of minicamp practices for the Indianapolis Colts, quarterback Daniel Jones has taken advantage of the additional opportunities that have come his way, according to ESPN's Stephen Holder. "Quarterback Daniel Jones is taking advantage of Anthony Richardson Sr.'s absence during the Colts' three-day camp, making several notable throws Wednesday to get the ball to his ample cast of offensive playmakers," wrote Holder. The starting quarterback reps throughout offseason programs and into training camp were supposed to be split between Jones and Anthony Richardson. Unfortunately, Richardson is sidelined this week after aggravating his shoulder, the same one that he injured during the 2023 season. Shane Steichen confirmed on Tuesday that Richardson did get another opinion on his shoulder with Neal ElAttrache, who was the surgeon who performed the original surgery. There is no specific timeline for Richardson's return, but Steichen has said they hope to have him back for training camp. That means that Jones is getting "a lot of the reps going forward," as Steichen put it. For a quarterback who is still learning a new system, the additional reps that he's now getting are presumably helping to expedite that learning process that comes with being in a different scheme. 'He's been great. … Acclimating to the offense, learning it, the system. Obviously, a smart guy, understands it, he's picked it up,' Steichen said of Jones, via the Indy Star. 'He's a veteran guy that comes in early, late nights, does all the right things.' There isn't a timetable that Steichen has for when he wants to name the starting quarterback for Week 1. Ultimatley, he just wants to find the most consistent performer. Regardless of how Jones performs during these three days of minicamp, it isn't going to decide whether he's the starter to begin the season or not. However, it does give him the upper hand in that competition. This isn't to say that Richardson still can't go out and win the job, but with missing most of OTAs, all of minicamp, and need a ramp up period whenever he does return to the practice field, time won't be on this side, and he'll have to make up ground quickly.

Spencer Shrader, Maddux Trujillo in 'open competition' for Colts' kicker job
Spencer Shrader, Maddux Trujillo in 'open competition' for Colts' kicker job As Colts' special teams coordinator Brian Mason mentioned on Wednesday, kickers Spencer Shrader and Maddux Trujillo are in an "open competition." Spencer Shrader may be the favorite to be the Indianapolis Colts' kicker for the 2025 season, but as special teams coordinator Brian Mason said on Wednesday, this is still an open competition. 'Spencer certainly has a little bit of a step up in that," said Mason, via 107.5 The Fan. "He's already been in the league, already been here, but it is definitely an open competition. That's how I view it." Competing with Shrader is undrafted rookie Maddux Trujillo. This past season at Temple, Trujillo made all 21 extra point attempts and he was 16-for-22 overall, which included going 5-for-5 from 40-49 yards and 5-of-8 from 50-plus, per PFF. 'We think (Trujillo is) very similar to what Spencer was last year,' special teams coordinator Mason said earlier this offseason via the Indy Star. 'Maybe, statistically, wasn't what you'd think you'd be looking for from a college standpoint, less than an 80% kicker. … But you can see a lot of guys — even Harrison Butker was less than 80% in college — if they have the talent and mental makeup, be able to take the next step.' Shrader, meanwhile, joined the Colts last offseason as an undrafted rookie as well. He would spend the summer with team and was their kicker in Week 1 while Matt Gay was sidelined. Through the first half of the 2024 season, Shrader was on and off the Colts' practice squad before briefly catching on with Kansas City and the New York Jets in the latter portion of the year. Appearing in four total games between his three stops, Shrader was 5-for-5 on field goals and 9-for-9 on extra points. His ability to bounce from one team to the next, while working with different holders and long-snappers, while remaining consistent, caught GM Chris Ballard's attention. "He leaves us and performs and performs at two different teams –you know how hard that is?" GM Chris Ballard said. "That's difficult now, to go to two different teams and have to perform – that is not easy. You're working with a totally different operation at both – different snapper and different holder – and to go in and be successful." So far, both kickers are off to strong starts during offseason programs. Ultimatley, consistency will determine who the Colts' kicker is come Week 1. "Both these guys are talented young kickers and we're going to end up going with whichever guy performs the best under pressure, both in training camp and joint practices," added Mason.
