Geathers injury

[theanarchist]

This hurts. No pun intended. Safety was a big concern going into the season even with a healthy Geathers. It sure sounds like Geathers is going to miss some considerable time. We are not in good shape with the safety position.

[IndyD4U]

Eh, There hasn't been a lot of details coming out about the injury other than a reported broken bone in his foot. This opens the door for a very raw TJ Green, but I think we can survive for a couple weeks if Geathers isn't back for week one. I'll be curious if Pagano addresses this in the presser today.

 

Throw TJ in the fire and see how he does. It certainly isn't going to hurt him

Based on what?

I guess based on the reported time line of return "hopefully" ready for the season opener. I think this training camp and preseason is important for Geathers and if he misses both I think that's "considerable time".

[Wesk7]

Hopefully by week 1 doesn't sound good. The colts rarely have people back by when they "hope" for. So now we can slide Green in as a SS or Adams over to play SS and have Green play FS. Do we sign a FA as insurance? Donte Whitner is available I believe and could be a decent plug in/depth option. 

[krunk]

Donte Whitner isn't going to want to be anybodies back up which is what would happen once Geathers is back in week 2 if he misses week 1

[krunk]

Geathers was injured a decent amt of time last year as a Dime Linebacker.  It won't surprise me if he's injured again because of his playing style.  Hopefully not though.

That's a good point, or at least it's a glass half full point.  I know they play vanilla D in the preseason, and he'd be playing against a lot of guys who won't be in the NFL in September, but reps are reps.  The more the better.

 

Be prepared to have patience with him though.  My lasting image of him is being the first Clemson guy in the end zone after Bama scored.  I'd hate to start seeing that image with him wearing a Colts uniform.

[Steamboat_Shaun]

He's week to week right now, which historically in Pagano-speak is a bad thing. The good news though is that the injury happened 3 weeks ago, so he honestly should be ready by week 1.

So you're saying he'll replace Toler in that regard.

Only if he gets at least two PI penalties per game.

And....now Green is hurt. Winston Guy step on up.

The way it was described sounds like severe cramps maybe.  Will probably be back.

Lets hope. That does happen with rookies in their first camps though. Gotta hydrate, boys.

Tough day for the rookies. Third-round pick OT-Le'Raven Clark joins T.J. Green in the training tent

Leraven Clark hurt too.  Dropping like flies and full pads doesn't even start until Friday.

Here's how thin the Colts suddenly are at safety: Cornerback Darius Butler is playing safety with Mike Adams

I had already mentioned I didn't like our depth at safety before the practices even started.  Now Butler is playing safety.  If he gets beaten out for the nickel spot that probably is going to be what allows him to stay on the roster being able to play FS.

TJ Green has ice wrapped around his lower left leg

This indicates a cramp to me

From what I can Geather, we would get hurt playing tiddliwinks.

Well if he's any good at it, it could be a blessing in disguise.

He has played Safety for Indy at times over his tenure.

[krunk]

Geeesh!  Every safety we have put back there today outside of Butler has gone into the trainers tent.   And then you have Ferguson too.

 

Kevin Bowen @KBowenColts

Josh Ferguson and Winston Guy now being carted into the training tent. Pagano will have injury updates after practice

He had plenty of ice on his butt at clemson from getting burned so many times

 

[krunk]

I'm not tripping too hard because I know this is purely the result of having a month or two off before coming to camp.  I'm sure they'll all be back tomorrow or Friday.

It's because it's hot outside.

Preach. I dispised(a word not often used by me) Tolers game, or should I say lack of. Anytime my wife would hear me getting upset over something happening in-game, her first response was to ask what Toler did!! LOL True story. Dude was made of glass it seemed, and didn't seem to ever play thru nagging injuries. Soft, glad he's gone. JMO

I am not sure Whitner would be beaten out by Geathers... Whitner has a solid career of playing at a high level.. Geathers has been a fill in and for me was our biggest single question mark in the secondary this year;  We'd be MUCH improved with Whitner on board and let the best player start.  I wouldn't count Whitner out on that battle.

It's not a matter of ability, it's more of what the Colts are focused on right now and that is developing their young players.  There's only one reason to bring a guy like Whitner in and that is to start him.   Why do that when you know your intent is to develop your own?

[Track Guy]

If we find out he's going to miss extended time, I think we should sign James Ihedigbo. Veteran free agent safety is still out there, I think he could still fill in. 

[Dark Superman]

I'm sure the Colts will sign some depth. I would love to see Green take advantage of this opportunity and max out his PT this pre-season.
