Colts face uncertainty at wide receiver after training camp practices
Summary

Five training camp practices into the offseason, the Indianapolis Colts continue to grapple with uncertainty at the wide receiver position following Michael Pittman's exit. Alec Pierce is sidelined due to ankle surgery while Josh Downs has shown promise but needs help in the depth chart. Daniel Jones, recovering from an Achilles injury, is limited in options as Ashton Dulin and Laquon Treadwell are among those taking first-team reps. GM Chris Ballard mentioned the possibility of adding a veteran wideout as the team assesses its needs. The situation remains fluid as the Colts evaluate their roster and potential free agent acquisitions.
