AFC Notes: Colts, Jaguars, Patriots

Colts

Charley Casserly reported Friday that the Colts are “very confident” that QB Andrew Luck will be ready for training camp this summer.

“There is no question in their mind that he will open training camp throwing the football,” Casserly said. “Right now, they’re being conservative. He’s throwing a weighted ball. That’s where they are right now, but he’s going to start training camp. They’re totally confident in that.”

• Although Colts owner Jim Irsay said there are “still holes” on the team that needs to be fixed, he believes that Indianapolis is a “formidable” team with Luck healthy: “There’s still holes in the roster, still areas we have to strengthen up and we don’t question that, but man oh man, I tell you, we’re a lot better of a football team,” Irsay said, via Mike Wells of ESPN. “It’s going to be interesting to see how much better we are. Look, I’ll be honest with you, if Andrew Luck, if he’s healthy and we think he will be, we’re going to have a pretty formidable football team. That’s just the bottom line.”

Jaguars

• According to Mike Kaye, N.C State OL Tony Adams did not pass his physical for the Jaguars and was not signed to a contract as a result.
• Jaguars signed fourth-round OT Will Richardson, sixth-round QB Tanner Lee, seventh-round LB Leon Jacobs and seventh-round P Logan Cooke to four-year deals. (NFLTR)

Patriots

Patriots offensive line coach Dante Scarnecchia told reporters on Friday that first-round pick Isaiah Wynn will get a shot to replace Nate Solder at left tackle.

“He’s played left tackle in the best conference in America [and] played it pretty good,” Scarnecchia said, via Mike Reiss of ESPN. “We’re going to take a look at it and see how it goes. … We look for three traits — smart, tough and athletic enough to play the position — and he’s got all three. We’ll see if that translates to this level.”
