The Indianapolis Colts' training camp is struggling with inconsistencies in the battle for the backup center position. Tanor Bortolini is established as the starting center, while Dalton Tucker and Jimmy Morrissey have been taking most of the second-team snaps. However, errant snaps have plagued the early practices, raising concerns about both the offensive line and quarterbacks Riley Leonard and Anthony Richardson catching snaps. With the departure of reliable backup Danny Pinter, the Colts appear to be dealing with an inexperienced group that includes rookies Geno VanDeMark and Josh Kreutz. The competition continues as training camp progresses.
