@KBowenColts: Colts are indoors today for practice. Stretching underway. Looks like Reggie Wayne is a go today for the first time since Bengals week.

@KBowenColts: Manusky mentions Victor Butler, Andy Studebaker and Jonathan Newsome has guys to rotate if Erik Walden can’t play on Monday night.

@KBowenColts: Pep Hamilton on Donte Moncrief: “...A guy that can take a short pass and make something out of nothing in some cases (i.e. Pittsburgh)."

@KBowenColts: Hamilton on Reggie Wayne: “We just finished our third-down practice and having Reggie available makes it a lot easier for our quarterback."

More updates on the way as they come

[TKnight24]

@KBowenColts: Pagano said Vontae Davis is 100 percent and ready to go.

[TKnight24]

@HolderStephen: Based on what I just saw in practice, I think odds are decent Reggie Wayne (elbow) plays for #Colts Monday nite vs #Giants.

@HolderStephen: Art Jones (ankle) did not practice for the second straight day. He did not look good in Pittsburgh. Has had a boot on this week too.

Thanks for all of the good info, TK. It looks like we rushed Art Jones back too soon, and now we'll have to wait for him to heal up....again. Good thing the bye week is around the corner.

This coming bye week will seriously go down as one of the best timed bye weeks of Colts history

Injuries to be healed and then right before the biggest game of the 2nd half of the season

Ironically, a week ago, people were saying it was taking too long for him to get back out there. Now, we rushed him back...

 

If he's not better, he probably won't play. Then he gets the bye, then he can be re-evaluated in Week 11. Hope he's back for the Pats game, because they'll want to run the ball on us.

Who do they have at RB now? Isn't Ridley on IR?

Friday's Injury Report:

[Bravo]

They have Vereen and Gray. Vereen is more of a pass catcher and Gray is a rookie I think. They have been using gray a lot. He's quick.

[Coffeedrinker]

Thanks for posting TK.  A big reason I come to this site is because I know someone will post any important news.  That way I don't have to look at a bunch of different sources.

Ah, interesting

I knew vereen but didn't know who the backup was

[Smash Mouth]

What they have is an Oline that back in sync after they traded Mankins.  I watched this kid Jonas Gray play - solid, runs behind his pads.

[PrincetonTiger]

Thanks for the info

High ankle sprains are a problem. Sometimes they can just plain ruin an entire year. I don't think Freeney ever really recovered from the one he had in early 2012. He just was off his game that whole year IMO.

Well yeah, especially for a bigger guy trying to play through it. I would think 5 weeks is enough time for him to be well enough to play without setbacks, but you never know. And it might have been stepped on or something else might have happened to aggravate it. 

 

Freeney had a lot going on. Not only was he learning a new position, but he was also a player who relied on his explosiveness and change of direction to make plays. Much more so than Art Jones. I agree, he never looked comfortable that year, and had the deck stacked against him the whole way. Too bad, really.

It really is , as he can still rush the passer and could have contributed if he stayed in Indy.

[ColtsHoosiersBB]

I'm guessing T Rich is going to NY, at least I hope so. I NEEEVER Thought I would say that. :ashamed:

Jonas Gray has some potential he was on his way to a great senior year for the Irish before a knee injury. He got caught in the Kelly take over being a Weis recruit not sure what took so long for Kelly to give him the ball. He average 6.9 per carry had 800 yards his senior year before going down with the ACL. I was hoping he would turn up somewhere not happy it was NE. He can play and is a kid you want to cheer for to bad he's a Pat.

I wonder what "3rd down" practice is like?  As opposed to practicing any other play.

[TKnight24]

Probably just 3rd Down situations.

They all end the same regardless..... Ball in Reggie's hands

[Superman]

Art Jones is out too. He got the ankle rolled up on vs Steelers and re injured it. #Colts

So, it was re-aggravated...

and here lies our problem lol... I totally hate griff as a returner but he is a stud possession 3rd down guy let's take pressure of reggie

[TKnight24]

Well the problem is more on Andrew than anything else. There's other people open but he's always looking for Reggie. I thought last year when Reggie went down it would help Andrew as far as looking for other guys. But nope, still locks onto Reggie even with a plethora of weapons this season

The D plays better without him anyway. Not a big fan.

[Superman]

Correlation doesn't equal causation. Jones is a good player.

[TKnight24]

And what facts do you have to support that statement?

He was injured early in the Pitt Game. So I guess it's his fault they dropped 51 huh?

[ColtsHoosiersBB]

The team had good chemistry without him, I just don't see where everyone thinks he

is our best lineman. The D line just seems to play better out of the gate without him

slated as a starter.

Lost the first two games of the year and Pitt with him as a starter. He just has not impressed me at all.

[TKnight24]

So Week 1- He's the reason alone Denver beat us?

Week 2- He's the reason Malcolm Jenkins caught the interception against Hilton? He's the reason Parkey kicked the GW FG?

Pitt- He's the reason for the pick 6? The lack of pass rush?

Hmm, didn't know the team was called Arthur Jones

Thought it was the but you taught me something new today. 1 man is to blame for everything. Makes sense

D line chemistry looks tons better without him starting is all. Chemistry means a lot in team sports.

[Defjamz26]

Too a certain extent. This isn't basketball where chemistry is everything. You still need experienced capable play makers at key positions. The line performing well without him likely means that the line as a whole is really solid overall, and he isn't an "Impact player". It doesn't mean he's not good, but that things aren't going to go downhill with him not there.
