The Indianapolis Colts have signed tight end Dwayne Allen, their third-round draft pick in April, and agreed to terms with Coby Fleener, their second-round draft pick. Team officials did not provide details about either contract. The deals mean Fleener and Allen will report on time to camp Saturday. The team's first full practice at Anderson University, about 30 miles northeast of Indy, is scheduled for Sunday. Both rookies are expected to help rookie quarterback Andrew Luck transition to the NFL. Colts coach Chuck Pagano and offensive coordinator Bruce Arians say they could use lots of two tight end formations. Luck also is accustomed to giving tight ends a hefty workload from his college days at Stanford. The club's rookie camp continues at their northwest side complex until the entire roster reports to training camp Saturday.
