OFFENSE

— Andrew Luck was back on the field in pads on Sunday after having maintenance day off on Saturday. Like before, Luck participated in warmups, position drills, handoffs, routes with receivers vs. air, and his second day of 7-on-7s. In the 7-on-7s, Luck completed five of his 11 passes, all to different receivers: Marlon Mack, Devin Funchess, Ross Travis, Parris Campbell and Deon Cain. Luck threw a would-be touchdown to Cain, who caught the ball in the back, right corner of the end zone and was hit immediately by cornerback Jalen Collins, but held on for the score. Note: Luck's portion of the 7-on-7s took place in the red zone, which compresses the field and leaves a higher likelihood for incompletions. Another note: Frank Reich said after practice it was still too early to tell whether Luck would take another step forward and get some 11-on-11 reps later this week.

— When 11-on-11s began, the offensive line configurations remained the same as it has been: Anthony Castonzo (left tackle), Quenton Nelson (left guard), Ryan Kelly (center), Mark Glowinski (right guard) and Braden Smith (right tackle). The second unit was Antonio Garcia (left tackle), Jake Eldrenkamp (left guard), Josh Andrews (center), Joe Haeg (right guard) and Le'Raven Clark (right tackle). The third unit was J'Marcus Webb (left tackle), Daniel Munyer (left guard/center), Evan Boehm (center/left guard), William Poehls (right guard) and Jackson Barton (right tackle).

— Seeing some first-team reps at the skill positions were Marlon Mack and Nyheim Hines at running back, T.Y. Hilton, Devin Funchess, Chester Rogers, Zach Pascal, Marcus Johnson, Daurice Fountain and Krishawn Hogan at receiver, and Jack Doyle, Eric Ebron and Mo Alie-Cox at tight end.

— Before team drills got underway, quarterbacks and centers paired off, with Luck taking snaps from Ryan Kelly, Brissett taking snaps from Andrews, Chad Kelly taking snaps from Boehm, and Phillip Walker taking snaps from Haeg.

— Chad Kelly, who split second and third-team reps with Phillip Walker again today, had some big plays throughout practice. First, he hit Hines about 25 yards down the right sideline as Hines completed a wheel route. Next, Kelly roped a pass about 30 yards down the left side to Hogan. Later, Kelly scrambled around and bought some time, finding receiver Deon Cain about 30 yards down the middle of the field right in front of the end zone (though he would've been sacked earlier in the play; see below). Near the end of practice, Kelly found tight end Billy Brown down the right seam, resulting in roughly a 40-yard touchdown.

— Mack had a big run that likely would've resulted in about a 25-yard gain; he received the handoff and had a huge lane right in front of him. He made some slight moves and raced safety Malik Hooker to the far sideline.

— Hines had a would-be touchdown as he took the handoff while lined up in the backfield in the shotgun, chugging five yards down the left side and diving to the pylon. Running back Jonathan Williams had his own five-yard score later in practice as Kelly faked the end-around to Fountain and handed it off to Williams, who took it into the end zone.

— Parris Campbell at times stole the show for the offense on Sunday. On one play in 11-on-11s, Walker, lined up at the defense's five-yard line, lofted a pass into the back, left corner of the end zone for Campbell. The rookie tapped the ball to himself and caught it in the back of the end zone, getting both feet in before falling out of the back, leading to a chest bump with Cain and cheers all around for the rookie out of Ohio State (sorry, THE Ohio State).

— Practice wouldn't be complete without a big play from Hilton, and we got that Sunday. Jacoby Brissett looked for him deep down the left side and connected with The Ghost, who first shook safety Clayton Geathers, for approximately 40 yards in front of cornerback Pierre Desir. It was a high, lofting pass that Hilton tracked down and showed his trademark focus to come down with the ball despite being draped in coverage. (See below)

— Brissett would also find Funchess on a big play, as Brissett scrambled to his right and flung the ball off-balance, getting it about 30 or so yards down the right side to a wide-open Funchess. Brissett then hit Ebron about 15 to 20 yards down the left seam, hitting the tight end perfectly in stride.

— The offense "won" 12 of the 32 (38 percent) reps of one-on-one reps between the pass catchers and the defensive backs on Sunday, with a "win" meaning the pass was caught or defensive pass interference was called. A "win" for the defense means any other result. These matchups were done from 10 and five yards out. Here is how it broke down: Hogan def. Kenny Moore II; Rogers def. Chris Milton; Hale Hentges def. Isaiah Johnson; Alie-Cox def. Khari Willis; Ashton Dulin def. Marvell Tell III (Dulin made a nice leaping catch, falling to the ground); Campbell def. Jalen Collins (Campbell had a great route, faking to the inside and then turning outside. Offensive coordinator Nick Sirianni ran over and high-fived Campbell, and Funchess came over for a chest bump); Steve Ishmael def. Milton; Jordan Veasy def. Rock Ya-Sin; Johnson def. Collins; Doyle def. Clayton Geathers; Penny Hart def. Moore II (Moore II tipped the ball, and Hart caught it); Funchess def. Nate Hairston.
