Patriots Fans at Joint Practice Against Colts Have High Expectations for Season: "The Sky's the Limit"
Anthony Richardson and Riley Leonard are set to share quarterback duties as the Colts get their first preseason test against a new opponent.
- On Tuesday, the New England Patriots hosted the Indianapolis Colts for a joint practice at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, allowing both teams to test schemes against unfamiliar opponents before Thursday's preseason opener.
- Head coach Mike Vrabel utilized the joint practice to evaluate starters, as New England sought to test its offense against an unfamiliar defense after weeks of internal competition.
- Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown created separation against Colts cornerback Sauce Gardner during one-on-one drills, drawing attention for the matchup; Gardner later noted, "its a reason that's the only one yall saw."
- While the offense showed promise, New England's pass defense struggled, allowing 11 straight completions in red-zone 7-on-7 drills; Indianapolis quarterbacks Daniel Jones, Riley Leonard, and Anthony Richardson combined for 6 touchdowns.
- Both teams will continue preparations for Thursday's preseason opener, as coaches monitor injured players including Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez, who missed Tuesday's session with an ankle injury.
