Colts training camp is officially upon us, so the Colts news cycle is going to start ramping up. Some injury news to talk about - of course we knew about Daniel Jones coming back, Alec Pierce being out to start camp, but we've just heard CJ Allen will be on PUP. What are the implications of that? We also talk about an article from James Boyd where he suggests Jonathan Taylor should HOLD IN for the Colts. I hate it - I'll talk about why. Enjoy!
