Colts WR Michael Pittman Jr. Leaves Practice with Apparent Injury

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. left practice early during the team's voluntary OTAs with an apparent injury after tangling up while running a route. Pittman limped off the field and did not return to practice, though the specific nature of the injury has not been disclosed and updates are expected closer to the start of mandatory minicamp. Pittman, who played through a fractured back last season that did not require surgery, was fully cleared by doctors in March and posted 69 catches for 808 yards and three touchdowns in 16 games in 2024. The Colts face challenges at wide receiver depth, relying heavily on Pittman as their top option, with secondary receivers having shown promise but limited by inconsistent quarterback play. Head coach Shane Steichen also announced that quarterback Anthony Richardson is out with a shoulder injury, further complicating the Colts' offseason preparations. Pittman's status will be closely monitored as the team hopes to avoid further setbacks at a vulnerable position group.
