I reckon that'll be the last we see of Powers here in Indy. Nice to see Chapman activated.

The same may stand for Nevis.

Chapman's time has come.

[Boiler_Colt]

Hmm, what happened to Nevis?

[Stephen]

Wow that move surprised me I didn't think powers was so hurt he'd go on ir

[needanoline63]

I hope to not see powers next year

[HungarianColtsFan]

Hmm, what happened to Nevis?

There's no further info on Nevis and Powers... Seems like they didn't meet FO's expectations.

[JoKeR]

I didn't know Nevis's and Power's injuries were that bad.

[PatMcAfeeFan]

A little surprising, but I'm happy with Davis and Butler as starting corners.

[oldunclemark]

To all.... explain to me the significance of Josh Chapman..above any other untested rookie

How good do you think he is?

[Smonroe]

Gee, Powers less than ten games? Who would have guessed?

[HtownColt]

Nevis suffered a hand injury in Jags game

[Nobody]

Jerraud was placed on IR.

Hello, Tom Brady. Come feast on our D.

Do we resign him?

[oldunclemark]

bad news, no-man

[Nobody]

Considering our loss of McKinney, we're all excited to see if he is special.

[IndyD4U]

According to Satele he's pretty darn good. Time will tell but I'm STOKED

[oldunclemark]

I missed that HC....I really likedhim..and he just cant stay healthy..

[Esquire59]

Really struggled to stay healthy his entire career. Good player, good tackler. Doesn't seem to fit in the 3-4, man coverage defense.

[HtownColt]

Arians did say today in his presser that Chapman would most likely see limited action vs Pats sunday

[TKnight24]

Hello Davis & Butler CB Duo

Sorry for the Loss of Powers though

[oldunclemark]

According to Satele he's pretty darn good. Time will tell but I'm STOKED

Very intersting...a vet center says the guy's good....then maybe he can really play....he has to reason to talk up a rookie

[shakedownstreet]

SUPERBOWL !!!!!

[Smonroe]

Is anyone really surprised that Powers didn't finish the season? If so, is that rock you're living under very heavy?

[DarkHorseColts]

Do we resign him?

I would have said yes about a month ago... now not so sure

[#12]

Hello, Tom Brady. Come feast on our D.

You were counting on Powers to save us?

[Boiler_Colt]

I'm ok with a trio of Davis, Butler and Gordy. I don't care for Vaughn. But man we're thin at CB right now.

[Smonroe]

To all.... explain to me the significance of Josh Chapman..above any other untested rookie

How good do you think he is?

Lot of potential. Tough kid. Definitely a hard position to learn. Don't expect miracles.

[ProblChld32]

I was really surprised when i found out he was put on IR. Does anyone know the extent of his injury? like what type of injury was it, im really curious.

[JoKeR]

I liked Nevis and Powers, maybe they will be better fits on another team.

[indy1888]

Jerraud was placed on IR.

Hello, Tom Brady. Come feast on our D.

Do we resign him?

I'd bring him back as 3rd or 4th corner on the cheap. Other then that, no. He wasn't playing well anyway and he's never lasted a full season.

[ProblChld32]

Excited to see him in action!!!

[PatMcAfeeFan]

I was really surprised when i found out he was put on IR. Does anyone know the extent of his injury? like what type of injury was it, im really curious.

It's a toe. The specifics aren't out there, but it must be pretty bad to be put on IR.

[Dan]

Leaving us with a round total of zero corners left over from 2011. Powers wasn't very good this year so I'm not crying over it...

[throwing BBZ]

Nevis was a good piece in our rotation. Doubt if he is back next year, too short.

Powers might be a nickle next year for the right $$, but I think they would be looking for someone better.

Definitely looking forward to seeing Chapman holding ground and getting off some blocks.

[Jason_]

very excited to see chapman activated but sucks about nevis. I thought he was playing pretty well. Hopefully he can come back healthy next season and get one more chance so long as his cap hit isn't too high for taking that risk. As for powers, he's played fairly well for us but I have had my doubts as to whether he was suited for this type of defense. He was scouted and drafted to play in the cover 2/tampa 2 defense of the old regime. That doesn't mean much to me in regards to guys in the front 7, but when it comes to coverage guys that means quite a bit. I still expect the colts to make a hard push for rodgers-cromartie in free agency but I'm very interested to see how Bulter can do for the remainder of the season.

[oldunclemark]

Thanks..I'm not bashing him..I just know little about him....

..again...a vet has no reason to talk up a rookie unless he can do something...and we need a run-stopper. Alabama? He's played pro already

hopefully you cant hide from the intensified Tide...

[ColtsFTW]

We let him go and then he ends up playing like Tim Jennings. lol
