Michael Pittman Jr. leaving Colts practice after collision makes fans consider his importance - Stampede Blue
The top receiver for the team left practice early after a collision.
Once again, there is no cause for alarm, and Michael Pittman has been extremely healthy during his time with the team. There is no reason to believe that won’t continue. This was more of an exercise in the what if’s and worst case scenarios. There is always a major player or two that suffers a season-ending injury in camp. The best we can hope for is that the Colts players stay upright and only suffer minor aliments that will heal by the time the season kicks off. Pittman is fine. Let’s just hope he stays that way.

Now, roughly a month later, Dell is lighting up the practice field at Houston Texans HQ.

Who’s here, who’s not, and who should be at NRG
The Texans are officially in voluntary OTA practices and the initial news and notes flowing out of practice indicate that several veterans are not present for the first team practices of the year.

Third-year offensive tackle Nicholas Petit-Frere was among the players not spotted during the open portion.

Petit-Frere was placed on season-ending injured reserve (IR) in mid November with what’s likely that same shoulder injury that he’s continuing to rehab.
