Tyler Warren arrived at Colts Training Camp on Report Day sounding like a player who knows exactly where he is in the process. The tight end, now entering his second NFL season, joined The Fan Morning Show live on Tuesday, July 28th, and made it clear that this offseason was less about the chaos of rookie preparation and more about sharpening the football side of the job.
“I think it’s just, you know, you’re a lot more focused on the football part of it,” he said.
That comfort level shows up in the way Warren talks about the Colts’ situation as a whole. With the same coaches back and a large chunk of the roster returning under Shane Steichen, he sees a team that already has something real to build on.
“We have that foundation. We already built everything on, just kind of building off of it,” he said.
Warren also had plenty of praise for Daniel Jones, especially when it came to what the quarterback can do with his legs. In Warren’s view, that part of Jones’ game doesn’t get enough credit for how it can stretch the offense. The two even spent part of the offseason together in Florida, working out with teammates and getting more time together before camp opened.
For Warren, though, the focus isn’t on chasing a personal line in the stat sheet. He kept the message simple when asked about individual production.
“I’m not too big on me reaching personal stats or anything like that,” he said.
The interview wasn’t all business. Warren also shared a few lighter details, including the odd split in his golf game: he swings left-handed but putts right-handed, something he said traces back to baseball.
He also said he beat teammate Riley in a closest-to-the-pin contest. And he revisited his rookie karaoke moment, when he sang “Five O’Clock Somewhere” to a quiet room before teammates told him he had done a good job.
Warren comes across as grounded, comfortable, and locked in on the bigger picture as he heads into what could be a bigger role in 2026.

Steichen Just Sent A Clear Message In The Colts QB2 Battle
Training camp opened with Daniel Jones fully participating, and the Colts quarterback picture already looks more layered than a simple starter-backup setup. Shane Steichen has begun sorting out the depth chart behind Jones, with Anthony Richardson getting the kind of attention that suggests the staff still sees him as a significant part of the room, while Riley Leonard has been working with fewer reps as the evaluation process gets underway.
The rotation is expected to keep moving as camp goes on, but the early signal matters because the Colts are trying to balance development, readiness and long-term roster planning at the most important position on the field. Richardsons standing in the pecking order gives this battle a different feel than a typical backup competition, and Leonard will need every chance he gets to close the gap as the team continues sorting out how it wants to handle the role behind Jones.

Colts Fans Are Watching A Summer Tradition Near Its End
The first day of Colts training camp brought fans back to Grand Park in Westfield on Wednesday, keeping alive a summer routine that has become part of the teams identity over the past several years. The 2026 camp is underway with public practices open through Aug. 20, and tickets are required for entry, making the early days of camp feel like a familiar but still carefully managed gathering point for the fan base.
What makes this year different is the sense that the clock is running out on the setting itself. This is the eighth and final Colts camp at Grand Park, so every practice there carries a little extra weight for fans who have made the trip north each summer and for a team that has built a steady preseason rhythm around the venue.

Colts Camp Has An Undrafted Lineman Forcing A Real Roster Battle
An undrafted offensive lineman has quietly turned into one of the more interesting names in Colts camp, with Nolan Rucci drawing buzz as a legitimate candidate to crack the 53-man roster after a strong summer. The Penn State product has shown enough in training camp to get noticed in a room that already looks solid up front, which is what makes his push worth tracking this late in the preseason.
Ruccis college tape gave him a foundation to work from, and the Colts are weighing whether his progress is enough to keep him around as a developmental option. He may not be ready to help right away, but if he keeps flashing the way he has in camp, Indianapolis will have a real decision to make on one of its final offensive line spots. [Read more 🡒]
