The Indianapolis Colts finished up June's mandatory minicamp with a little bit of drama surrounding second-year quarterback Anthony Richardson. Some concerns followed Wednesday's practice after Richardson went the whole day without throwing a ball with his right arm, but the quarterback simply called it a "rest day".

#Colts HC Shane Steichen said Richardson had soreness yesterday so they played it cautious today. He’d be their QB if they had to play.

Fortunately, there's plenty of time for Richardson to rest up after the end of minicamp. The team will return to the practice field for training camp that starts in late July ahead of a recently announced preseason schedule.

Indianapolis will take on three opponents in the preseason and have two joint practices scheduled before September's regular season kickoff.

Three games in 11 days is a compact schedule, but should leave plenty of recovery time before the first regular season game on September 8th. Added in the schedule is an extra primetime game, for whatever it may be worth.

Plenty of roster spots are on the line in this year's preseason with an overcrowded receiving room and some depleted health at the safety spot following an injury to Daniel Scott. These games will be perfect opportunities for players to show their value ahead of a revenge season for the Colts.
