Allen Back, Defense Dominates | Indianapolis Colts News

Rookie linebacker CJ Allen returns to practice after a five-day hamstring absence, but his limited reps have given veteran Cam Bynum more opportunities — though Allen still figures to start Week One. The Colts’ pass defense dominated, shutting down QBs Daniel Jones, Anthony Richardson, and Riley Leonard, with Jones having his worst practice yet — just one pass over 10 yards, two interceptions, and a dropped snap. Jaylon Carlies and Mekhi Blackmon shined, with Blackmon snagging an interception, while rookie Deion Burks got heavy reps in jet sweeps. Kicker Blake Grupe is on fire, going 6-for-6, while Spencer Shrader missed two kicks. Alec Pierce remains sidelined for the week.
