Colts tight end Dwayne Allen participated in the team's offseason minicamp drills this week, the Indianapolis Star reported. Allen believes he needs the workouts to get back in shape after a hip injury cost him much of last season.

"It takes that everyday grind to really come back," said Allen. "I've really had to teach myself how to run again. Once I got back going after the first couple of days, it was getting back into my timing with the quarterback. But it's going well. It's getting better and it's about not getting discouraged when you have a setback."
