Colts wide receiver battle heats up ahead of training camp
Summary

As the Indianapolis Colts gear up for training camp, a key competition at the WR2 position is taking shape. With the departure of Michael Pittman Jr., Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, signed this offseason, emerges as a frontrunner against Ashton Dulin, a versatile player with special teams experience. Westbrook-Ikhine previously had a breakout season in 2024 but struggled last year with the Dolphins, while Dulin has shown consistent improvement. Both players will aim to establish themselves as reliable options opposite leading receiver Alec Pierce. The competition may also lead to a wide receiver-by-committee approach alongside rookie Deion Burks this season.
