The Colts hosted the Packers for a joint practice on Thursday, the final practice of training camp at Grand Park in 2025.
According to numerous reports, it was about as bad an offensive showing as it could’ve possibly gotten from the Colts. Undisciplined penalties, inaccurate passes and constant pressure given up by the offensive line contributed to Green Bay’s domination.
The Colts’ offense has been totally outplayed by the Packers’ defense today. Penalties, tons of pressure, and when there hasn’t been, passes are either short or well off target. Not much to speak of in the run game, either.

The Athletic’s James Boyd described a play which was a particular lowlight for the unit.
“When Daniel Jones did have time and hit AD Mitchell on a deep crosser, Mitchell let it slip through his hands and (Packers cornerback) Keisean Nixon intercepted it,” Boyd wrote on X. “The Colts offense is getting whooped by the Packers defense. No other way to put it.”
To make matters worse, Indy lost one of their key receivers to injury midway through the session.
Josh Downs left the field with a trainer, visibly upset, after complaints of pain in his hamstring. With Alec Pierce not at practice as he deals with his own hamstring injury, the Colts wide receiver room is all of a sudden undermanned.
Colts WR Josh Downs has left practice with a left hamstring injury. He injured it on a play and immediately went to the trainers. Walked off under his own power but this is absolutely worth monitoring.

If this final practice session is any indication of how the Indianapolis offense will look in 2025, then the Colts are in for a long season plagued with inconsistency and frustration.
If there is a silver lining, though, it’s that there’s still over three weeks until the Colts take the field Week 1 against the Dolphins, giving them what should be ample time to sort through and correct their weaknesses.
