Reggie Wayne's Elbow Injury (Mega Merge)

[NewColtsFan]

Pagano made the announcement today.    I don't have a link.

 

I heard it on an ESPN NFL show today.

 

That was a nasty hit/fall he took.    I don't think he was the same the rest of the day.

 

I hope we don't lose him for a few weeks.....

[Smonroe]

He appeared to have complete movement, although you could tell he was hurting.

If he's out for a few weeks it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. It would give Moncrief some valuable reps.

[Derakynn]

Not a good thing, but I think we have the ability to absorb a short-term blow at the receiver position because we have so many weapons. I wouldn't expect him to be out long, if at all. 

[snkdy]

Crap.

[Smash Mouth]

Well, now we might find out about Hakeem Nicks too.

[ThE JoKeR]

Good time to really test Nicks and Moncrief.

[BuckingColt]

Once again, it was completely irresponsible of the coaching staff to let him continue playing when it became apparent that his arm was still bugging him. The game wasn't in doubt and he wasn't helping us with two drops.

[Buck Showalter]

& that's why the Colts have Nicks...

[SilentHill]

Didn't he come back in the game after the injury? It cant be that serious

[ColtsHoosiersBB]

As long as he isn't out for the season, all is good. Give Nicks and Moncrief his reps

until he is ready to go and totally healthy. This team is loaded with depth so

rushing a guy back would make no sense.

I agree 100% I got really upset over that.

It seems fairly obvious they (and/or Reggie?) wanted to forcibly continue his 3 catch streak.

So maybe it was Wayne himself that said he was good to go? The coaches gave him the benefit?

exactly that might have been as much Reggie's call as it was theirs. Also I saw on Twitter trent is getting an MRI too.

[Bluefire4]

I bet it's precautionary.

Rest Reggie and Trent this next game and give Moncrief/Nicks Reggie's reps and

go with Bradshaw/Herron at RB. I love the depth on this team!

[BuckingColt]

That doesn't matter in the slightest. The coaches are in charge of the team and need to step in in that situation. 

[RockThatBlue]

Thats what I'm guessing. Also Wayne probably wanted to stay in to get his three catches, although Pagano could have overruled him.

Reggie, Trent and Freeman.

[BuckingColt]

We're acting like keeping a rather meaningless streak intact is worth jeopardizing a players health... 

[GoColts8818]

Rest Reggie and Trent this next game and give Moncrief/Nicks Reggie's reps and

go with Bradshaw/Herron at RB. I love the depth on this team!

lets see what the doctors say. If they say they can play then there is no need to rest them.

[beavis]

We are deep at WR so which would hurt more, losing Trent or Reggie long term?

[B~Town]

Didn't he come back in the game after the injury? It cant be that serious

Adrenaline does crazy things I know I finished a game with a broken wrist then another with a torn rotator cuff . Both times thought I just tweeked something then woke up the next day and new something was very wrong . I hope something like that is not the case and it's just precautionary because Reggie has been our 3rd down receiving rock . 

[Legend of Luck]

I asked Kevin Bowen when he expected to get answers and he said Wednesday. The anticipation is gonna kill me.

#colts Reggie Wayne waiting for word on severity of elbow injury. It was a year ago -- Oct. 20 -- he tore up knee. @rtv6

Surely its not anything serious.

[Legend of Luck]

Now, I will be the first to admit that when I heard Reggie was hurt, my heart fell to the pit of my stomach. However, this is the reason why we signed Hakeem Nicks. I know he hasn't shown that he can be a number one receiver so far this season, but I still feel better knowing that we have a guy who has been a number one receiver in the past.

Remember, this guy was arguably a top 5 receiver only two or three years ago. If we can get him playing at the level that he was playing at back then, our offense may be even more explosive. So while I will sit here and wish for Reggies full health, I feel lot better knowing hakeem Nicks is on our team.

[Ja'Crispy]

More Crief too

[HtownColt]

Moncrief saw more snaps than Nicks yesterday, so Pep is going to #FeedMoncrief if Wayne is out a while

[Legend of Luck]

believe me I love the upside of Donte Moncrief, but as we get into the playoffs I would rather have the veteran getting most of the snaps

[colts8718]

Moncrief saw more snaps than Nicks yesterday, so Pep is going to #FeedMoncrief if Wayne is out a while

Moncrief looks like he is going to be a good one very smart and great hands

When I heard that on chat at my flight layover, I was quite displeased.  I don't know if he aggravated any further because he went back out, but why even risk it?

[ColtsBlueFL]

All of the best players are always good to go... even when they aren't, they'll say they are.  We have physicians and trainers that are qualified to check him out and determine if he should go back out.  Every team member on the Colts have jobs they excel at, including those on the medical team. They all get paid, let them earn their checks too.

It seems fairly obvious they (and/or Reggie?) wanted to forcibly continue his 3 catch streak.

He got absolutely lit up on another screen pass late in the game after he already had his 3 catches.

[adamthyst]

It's the anniversary of his ACL tear.. I hope it's not serious.. heart's racing, tbh... I love Reggie to death, I'd hate to lose him again. His first TD catch back I cried because that's how much I appreciate Reggie here, I hope it's not serious.

[beavis]

If Reggie is out for an extended period of time I would like to see Whalen get some playing time.

[Modern]

Whalen needs to work on signaling the fair catch, one thing at a time

[Moopsiepuffs]

Being a good receiver three years ago means nothing. Nicks is in Indianapolis for a paycheck and to live of the success of those around him. There is absolutely no reason for him to see the field any more than Moncrief, and if the staff continue to stick with Hakeem it will be out of concern of upsetting a "big name". He has been absolutely terrible thus far.

[IndyD4U]

Any updates on Wayne? I haven't seen anything other than he was getting the MRI

[snkdy]

I've been told #colts Reggie Wayne's elbow injury isn't too serious, but good chance he misses a game or two. @rtv6
