Marlon Mack is ready to start the training camp

WESTFIELD, Ind. – Last week, the director general of the Indianapolis Colts, Chris Ballard, told the media that Marlon Mack was ready for the training camp. Today, we heard it from the mouths of Colts.

Mack is recovered from the off-season surgery to repair a torn labrum that he suffered last year at the training camp as a rookie. The recovery and subsequent rehabilitation made him miss the off-season and minicamp field portion this spring, but Mack is now ready to start the training camp.

Mack told reporters Wednesday that there was no limit to Day 1

The Colts will have a new backfield after Frank Gore's departure for the Miami Dolphins during the off season and a few new faces have been brought.

On paper, Mack could be considered the leader in the clubhouse to start running back. He showed a lot of potential last year – deserving second place among the Colts' running backs at the time – and he's one of only half veteran backers to have made contributions major last season.

that Robert Turbin would be suspended for the first four games of the 2018 season, the Colts will definitely need someone experienced to progress.

Some believe that all signs indicate Mack in this regard. However, he does not see it like that.

When asked if he sees himself as the starter, Mack says, "Not really, you have to deserve it and I've learned everything in this league, so I really do not see myself as the starter, I work here like the others.

The Colts have recruited two very talented rookies at Nyheim Hines and Jordan Wilkins. With Michael and Josh Ferguson, Mack and his fellow veterans will be competing for positions in the Colts' backfield – especially in the first four weeks of the season as Turbin serves his suspension.

Frank Reich, coach of the Colts With the absence of Turbin, he likes what he has at his disposal in the backfield.

"I like the fact that our guys are mostly three on the back.They can mostly play all three down.What I've seen is that these guys are all good in pbadword protection, "said Reich.

"What I love is the versatility of our players, and then you just have to see who has that talent with the ball in their hands so that the guys miss (and) break the we will have to find out. "

Someone must be the starter. It would certainly make sense for Mack to be a veteran of toy-making, but he's only focused on getting back to the trends right now.
