All of the Indianapolis Colts' 2007 draft choices have reported to training camp with the exception of their third-round pick — defensive tackle Quinn Pitcock — who has not passed his physical.

The unspecified injury is reportedly not career-threatening but something that the player must work through. The former Ohio State player has been rehabbing the minor injury in an effort to join his teammates in camp. Word is Pitcock could report to camp in a matter of days, if not sooner.

Pitcock has missed three days of practice and will have his work cut out for him once he arrives in Terre Haute, Ind. Each day missed is a critical blow to a rookie's learning process. Pitcock can ill-afford to fall further behind if he has any hope of competing for a starting position.

 Pitcock's versatility will be a welcome addition to a Colts defense that finished the season ranked No. 32 against the run. The team's defense did manage to buckle down and stop the run in the postseason, but the Colts are still looking to improve their run defense.

 At 6-foot-2, 299 pounds, Pitcock is considered undersized by NFL standards. However, the Colts have no qualms about the player's size and have plans to utilize his skills in a number of ways, from playing nose tackle to the 3-technique.

"I remember when I was drafted, and coach (Tony) Dungy said he was glad that the team finally got a true 300-pound tackle," Pitcock said. "The team had a lot of defensive ends playing tackle. Now they have a true D-tackle that is athletic enough to play the end position."

Pitcock said he's ready to show the club just what type of player they drafted.

Adding Pitcock to the mix gives the Colts' D-line another high-motor guy who plays to the whistle. He's quick off the snap, very energetic and has a great work ethic. He brings a blue-collar mentality to a defense searching for an identity. Pitcock is best known for his ability to stop the run, but led the nation with 8.5 sacks as a D-tackle, so he can flat out get after the quarterback as well.

The most important thing for this rookie — who the Colts placed on the the reserve/drafted-unsigned list on July 31 — is to get healthy, get into camp and adapt to a life on the Colts defense.
