Notes from Colts camp

[AlwaysSunnyinIndy]

When Leonard agreed to terms on his contract extension over the weekend....I figured that he was close to return to the football field. And the Maniac is back on the field today.

The Colts will split the starter reps between QB Jacob Eason and QB Sam Ehlinger the rest of the week, including two joint practices Thursday and Friday with the Panthers. Eason all but assuredly starts Sunday’s first preseason game.

Frank Reich on the Colts QB situation: "Really, that wasn’t Jacob (Eason) doing anything wrong. This is a meritocracy, and Sam's looked good, so we decided to split it up. The good news is they both looked sharp today ... we’ll continue to split those reps up."

Injury notes:

QB Carson Wentz and G Quenton Nelson back out here to watch practice for the first time since their surgeries.

No boot or anything, not that it necessarily has any meaning for their recoveries

Reich says it is encouraging that Wentz and Nelson were able to get out on practice field, but still a two week period before evaluation.

From what I heard: No, it's not insignificant that Carson Wentz and Quenton Nelson were already back at practice today (no boots, no wraps) just a week after both had foot surgery. Still a ways to go, but team likes where both player is at.

Reich says Buckner is still out for precautionary reasons
