Irsay Talks Last Season, Hall Of Fame Ceremony

Last updated on Wednesday, August 3, 2016

(INDIANAPOLIS, IN) - The Colts spent Tuesday’s practice under the lights in their lone evening practice.

Jim Irsay was in attendance and said how last season underwhelming finish had more to do with injuries than any internal dissention.

"It wasn't that there was some distraction or lame-duck status or Ryan or Chuck's relationship was difficult so that made us struggle. Really, it was more of a year where our franchise quarterback got hurt. If that didn't happen, who knows what kind of year we would have had."

Meanwhile, Irsay said he is excited and honored to be inducting Marvin Harrison into the Hall of Fame this weekend and is looking forward to the Colts being featured in the Hall of Fame Game against the Green Bay Packers.

Former Colts running back Trent Richardson was waived by the Baltimore Ravens on Tuesday.

Since being drafted with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2012 draft, Richardson was traded to the Colts in 2013 before bouncing around to the Raiders and then Ravens. He has yet to have a 1,000 yards rushing in a season and had a career average of 3.6 yards per carry.

Meanwhile, former Colts' defensive end Dwight Freeney will reportedly sign a one-year deal with the Atlanta Falcons.
