Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Parris Campbell has been exclusively running with the first unit during minicamp. The 24-year-old entered the league in 2019 with plenty of hype following his second round selection. Since then, Campbell has played in a total of 15 games over the course of three seasons. The departure of T.Y. Hilton and Zach Pascal should open up more chances for Campbell next season. Campbell could very well be a major target for the Colts offense next season. Although, it remains to be seen if he can actually be a healthy and reliable option.
Indianapolis Colts safety Khari Willis has announced his retirement after only three seasons in the NFL so that he can pursue religious interests. Willis was a fourth-round pick by the Colts in 2019 out of Michigan State, and he recorded 219 tackles (161 solo), seven tackles for loss, seven QB hits, 3.5 sacks, four interceptions (one for a touchdown), 11 passes defensed, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery in 39 games (33 starts) over his three NFL seasons. Willis' retirement is a significant loss for a Colts secondary that also has safeties Julian Blackmon, Rodney McLeod, Armani Watts and rookie Nick Cross in the fold.
Indianapolis Colts All-Pro linebacker Darius Leonard (back) underwent back surgery and will miss part of training camp next month, according to head coach Frank Reich. However, Leonard is expected to be back for the regular season, but injuries have become a concern for the 26-year-old, as he also had ankle surgery in the offseason, causing him to miss organized team activities. Leonard won't need a second ankle surgery, but it's fair to wonder if injuries will cause him to be less effective in 2022. The three-time Pro Bowler and three-time first-team All-Pro still managed 122 tackles (75 solo), four tackles for loss, three QB hits, four interceptions, eight passes defensed, a league-high eight forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries in 16 games last year, but he didn't record a sack for the first time in his four NFL seasons.
Indianapolis Colts Pro Bowl cornerback Kenny Moore, who hasn't been attending organized team activities and wants a new contract in line with his play, is in the team's building on Monday for his physical prior to mandatory minicamp this week, according to sources. NFL teams can begin fining players that don't show up to mandatory minicamp, but it looks like the Colts won't have to go down that road with Moore. The 26-year-old was excellent in his fifth season in Indy, compiling a career-high 102 tackles (82 solo), six tackles for loss, one sack, a career-high-tying four interceptions, 13 passes defensed and one forced fumble in 17 games. Moore was a top-five fantasy defensive back in IDP leagues and should be a starter in those formats again in 2022.
The Indianapolis Colts are pushing rookie wide receiver Alec Pierce to compete for a starting role early on in his first NFL season. Pierce's vertical abilities and versatility bode well for his chances of grabbing a role early on, and his skill set fits well with what the Colts want to do on offense. "Alec (Pierce), one of the things we like about him is he's a very smart guy. He really has learned the offense quickly," head coach Frank Reich said. Pierce will have to compete with guys like Ashton Dulin and Parris Campbell, but the Colts offense could be extremely multiple with Pierce working both outside and in the slot alongside Michael Pittman Jr. With new quarterback Matt Ryan in town, Pierce could certainly make some noise in his rookie campaign for fantasy managers if he wins the No. 2 job.
