Cornerback Jalen Collins is making sure nobody forgets about him when it comes to competing for a spot on the roster with Colts. Collins, who started for Atlanta against New England in Super Bowl LI, has had an impressive minicamp so far. The Colts signed Collins in November 2018 after he had been suspended four times for violating the NFL's policies on performance enhancing drugs and substance abuse. Colts defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus is anxious to see how the cornerback competition will shake out during training camp because the Colts also have Pierre Desir, Quincy Wilson, Kenny Moore, Nate Hairston and rookie Rock Ya-Sin all in the mix for playing time. "We are always looking at who is going to be number one and then all the way down to six or seven," Eberflus said. "When you have that much depth that is what you're looking at. Who is going to be the number one corner? Who is going to be number two? We don't know the answers to that right now. We really don't. It's all competitive from one all the way to five, to six, to seven. So I think that's great. It puts it on the players and lets them compete, lets them play and let it happen naturally. When we do that, it will be great to see how they line up.”

Colts linebacker Darius Leonard, like quarterback Andrew Luck, says he'll be ready for the start of training camp at the end of July after having ankle surgery earlier this offseason. Leonard led the NFL in tackles with 163 during his rookie season in 2018.

Luck to miss Colts minicamp with strained calf
Colts quarterback Andrew Luck will miss the team's three-day minicamp due to a strained calf.
Mike Wells ESPN Staff Writer
Colts coach Frank Reich said Tuesday that QB Andrew Luck will not take part in the team's mandatory minicamp this week due to his calf injury. Reich said last week that there was a chance Luck wouldn't participate this week. The Colts coach called it a "no brainer" that Luck will be ready for the start of training camp at the end of July barring any kind of setback with the calf.
