Pittman is not in line to play in Thursday's preseason opener against the Ravens, Stephen Holder of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
After missing time with a groin injury, Pittman returned to practice Tuesday, but per Holder, the wideout is among a number of the Colts' key players who won't see action Thursday. Pittman's next chance to see game action will arrive Saturday, Aug. 16 against Green Bay.

Pittman (groin) returned to practice Tuesday, Jake Arthur of Locked On Colts reports.
EDGE Analysis
He's making his return exactly a week after suffering what was apparently a minor groin injury. Pittman may not play in Thursday's preseason game against Baltimore, but he's on track for Week 1. Meanwhile, Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones are still competing for the starting QB job.

Pittman (groin) didn't practice Sunday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pittman first hurt his groin in practice Tuesday, though he was able to resume participation Thursday. However, the star wideout was held out again Saturday and Sunday, so it appears he's not fully past the injury yet. The Colts likely want to make sure Pittman is fully in the clear before he resumes practice given that the team is still in the early stages of training camp.

Pittman (undisclosed) will not participate in Saturday's training camp practice, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pittman's absence is likely a maintenance day, with the sixth-year wideout recovering from a groin injury that he suffered during Tuesday's practice. With Pittman sidelined, Adonai Mitchell will have the opportunity to join Alec Pierce and Josh Downs in three-wideout sets with the first-team offense. Ashton Dulin and Anthony Gould could also see an uptick in practice reps.

Pittman (groin) participated in Thursday night's practice, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pittman sustained a groin injury during Tuesday's session, but after an off day Wednesday, he was back on the field Thursday logging reps with the first-team offense. While Pittman's standing as a key member of a wideout corps that also returns Alec Pierce and Josh Downs remains secure, who will be throwing to that trio in Week 1 has yet to be determined, with Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones in the midst of what is being described as a close competition for the assignment.

Pittman (groin) participated at the start of Thursday's practice, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pittman suffered a groin injury at Tuesday's session, but after the Colts had an off day Wednesday, he was back on the field in at least some capacity one day later. He's developed into the Colts' top pass-catching option since being selected in the second round of the 2020 Draft, recording two 1,000-yard seasons and catching at least 88 passes three times in his five-year career.

Pittman sustained a groin injury during Tuesday's practice, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
For now, consider Pittman day-to-day as the Colts' Aug. 7 preseason opener against the Ravens approaches. When available, Pittman is on track to maintain a steady stream of passing targets in a Colts WR corps that also features Alec Pierce and Josh Downs.

Pittman (knee) participated in Wednesday's opening training camp practice, Joel A. Erickson of the Indianapolis Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pittman experienced some knee soreness during the final day of Indianapolis' voluntary OTAs last month, but he's good to go for training camp and set to reprise his key role in wideout corps that also returns Alec Pierce, Josh Downs and Adonai Mitchell. One major question that remains to be settled, however, is which QB they'll be catching passes from in Week 1, with Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones currently competing for the starting job.

Pittman left Thursday's practice with knee soreness,Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pittman was down on the field for a few seconds after suffering the injury and then limped to the sidelines. While the issue appeared alarming, Pittman was diagnosed with soreness and has avoided serious injury. Chappell suggests that Pittman will sit out minicamp, but no official timeline has emerged.

Pittman (undisclosed) did not return to Thursday's practice after getting tangled up during a route and limping off the field, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pittman sustained an apparent injury at the final day of Indianapolis' voluntary OTAs, so it's possible an update on his health won't arrive until closer to the start of mandatory minicamp June 10. Meanwhile, head coach Shane Steichen said Thursday that quarterback Anthony Richardson (shoulder) won't participate in mandatory minicamp due to an aggravation of an AC joint injury, which leaves Daniel Jones primed to handle the bulk of first-team reps. Pittman played through a small fracture in his back from Week 5 onward in 2024, tallying a 69-808-3 receiving line across 16 regular-season appearances and 111 targets, while also struggling to overcome inconsistent quarterback play. Though Pittman has fully recovered from the back issue, his status now needs to be monitored until such time as he retakes the practice field.
