They’re back: Manning, top draft pick make it onto field for Colts 1st practice

Manning, Brown on field for Colts 1st practice

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. — Three-time MVP Peyton Manning and Donald Brown were on the field for the Colts’ first training camp practice on Monday.

Manning made it onto the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology field for the first time since August 2007. He missed all of training camp last season after having knee surgery.

Brown, the Colts’ No. 1 draft pick, practiced one day after agreeing to a contract with the Colts. Unsigned players are not permitted to practice.

New coach Jim Caldwell said he was pleased to have everyone in camp on time, avoiding potential distractions.
