The Indianapolis Colts began minicamp Tuesday, marking the final series of practices before breaking for summer.
As the media gets more access during the three-day minicamp compared to OTAs, there are more updates on the injured players throughout the Colts roster.
While no injury report is given from the team until the regular season starts, we still have a good idea of which players are dealing with ailments.

Colts injury updates from minicamp
QB Anthony Richardson (shoulder/lower back)
Richardson is near full health with his shoulder so there are no issues there. He did briefly leave Tuesday's practice due to what appeared to be a lower back injury. He got worked out by the training staff using a foam roller but returned to practice shortly after exiting. It doesn't appear to be an issue.
WR Michael Pittman Jr. (knee)
Pittman has not practiced since bumping knees with cornerback Jaylon Jones during the first week of OTAs, and the Colts are holding him out of minicamp as a precaution. It's not believed to be a long-term injury, but Pittman won't be on the field again until training camp.
RT Braden Smith (knee)
The Colts' starting right tackle hasn't practiced this offseason after undergoing surgery to repair a knee injury. The 28-year-old was fantastic for the Colts when he was on the field in 2023, but he dealt with some lingering knee issues. We likely won't see him until training camp.
WR Ashton Dulin (knee)
The Colts missed the services of Dulin both on offense and on special teams. Dulin tore his ACL during the preseason and missed the entire 2023 campaign. He was not practicing Tuesday, and it's unclear whether we will see him before training camp arrives.
S Daniel Scott (Achilles)
It has been a tough road for Scott, one of the team's fifth-round picks during the 2023 NFL Draft. He missed his entire rookie season due to a torn ACL during OTAs. On Tuesday, head coach Shane Steichen announced Scott tore his Achilles during the final week of OTAs this offseason.
TE Mo Alie-Cox (undisclosed)
Alie-Cox returned to the field Tuesday after missing the final week of OTAs due to an undisclosed injury. He participated in team drills, catching a touchdown pass from Joe Flacco so it appears whatever he was dealing with is behind him.
CB Chris Lammons (foot/ankle)
One of the competitors for the backup nickel role, Lammons was seen sporting a walking boot on his left foot/ankle on Tuesday. It isn't clear how serious the injury is, but it seems he may be held out until training camp arrives.
WR Alec Pierce (undisclosed)
Though Pierce met with the media before Tuesday's minicamp practice, he didn't participate. It's unclear what injury he's dealing with but his absence led to Adonai Mitchell getting reps with the first-team offense.
