I figured that. He's probably going to be out the same amt of time as Mathis was.

[Captain Americolt]

Dangit.

[Brooklyn Colt]

Bob Sanders part deux?....na I'm joking...... :hmm:

[MTC]

Just what we needed..

[1959Colts]

Do we still have Sergio Brown?

[Coltswarriors]

Signed CB Marshay Green to active roster. Davis will be missing some time

[Jules]

Hopefully he is back for NE. That should be the new goal IMO.

But, this stinks. We do need him but I have faith we can handle the next two teams without him possibly.

It really stinks he is going to miss the game vs. his former team. Bad luck here.

We never catch a break on D this season so far.

I guess there is hope he could get into practice this week but I won't get my hopes up.

Hey if he can help us be a key component in a SB win I will take it right now.

[YellScreamGoColts]

I think this was a mistake. We have a couple older D guys to coach the young team, that guy hasn't played real well in our scheme anyway. Powers is the guy that has to go. It's been 2-3 years now that he just lets the guys fly by him.

[Gavin]

Dunno what the deal is with our Corners this year or any year in the last 15 years for that matter but seems like when a Corner puts the horseshoe helmet on there skills dont make it out of the locker room

Let me guess, because he doesnt have any INT's he's not playing well? The guy RARELY gets targeted. He's doing exactly whats asked of him, which is shutting his side of the field down. Its hard enough to make plays when the QB throws 3-5 yard slants let alone even being targeted more than once in a game. Having Vaughn/Powers on the other side is limiting his targets, however if the Colts can find someone who can do the same on the opposite side of Davis QB's will have to pick their poison and will HAVE to target Davis more. Then he'll be able to make the plays you are probably looking for.

He's a very good tackler, as he reminds me of Hayden/Jackson in being physical, but can also cover with the best of them.

Nothing to do with his game play, just that he has been injury prone. And when he isn't injured the media is hyping it up all the time..

[Gavin]

I dont know the exact numbers this year because then I would have to go back and look at EVERY SINGLE passing play but I feel pretty confident in saying Powers is targeted plenty. While honestly he is not as bad as some would make him seem (including myself sometimes) he is not a starting Corner on many other NFL teams, he is decent but will and does get abused by bigger wide receivers do to lack of real good ball skills and inability to press

I never hold a CB down for not being able to defend a well timed and thrown slant route (Powers gave up two or three on Sunday), but Powers ideally should be able to hold hold his own on the deeper routes.

I still stand by his tackling though. Once the Titans threw a smoke route to the receiver Powers was covering, and he tackled the receiver for only a yard gained.

Get well Davis.

[Indyfan4life]

Tackling for the most part isn't an issue for Powers. As noted above it's nearly impossible to stop a slant route unless all your LB's are dropping back for coverage... Unfortunately that only leaves 3-4 guy's going after the QB. The deep ball and everything else though is something Powers needs to work on consistently.

[USAFHoosier]

I was really hoping Vonte would be able to play against his old team. Time for Vaughn to step up again.

[chrisfarley]

He'll be out about 4-6 weeks --- he is as fragile as glass. Glass Bob clone? I don't know but it's frustrating.

Fragile as glass? Did you see how he landed on his knee Sunday?

4-6 weeks??? Is this confirmed?

That is really dissappointing to hear..i hoping that he could play when we go to New England..i'm really starting to get fustrated with him..

not confirmed but with this type of injury, what's his face? (NFL injury news guy said as much) His name is Will something.

[chrisfarley]

no, do you happen to have a replay? I would like to see it. I still think he is fragile.

Ok..hopefully it's only 2-3 games like Mathis with 2 games being the max..

[gbrads_rants]

This is such an important game...I hope Vontae is at least giving some insight on game planning...

[USAFHoosier]

You know he is

Watch it online. Comes down with his knee twisted.

[Mr.Debonair]

I almost wish Davis would miss extend time so you guys talking bout how he's a disappointment and all that could see how trash this secondary is without him. It will no longer just be Powers gettin picked on. Davis has been very good outside the Chicago game. I don't understand you guys.

I think V. Davis was a steal..and we need to rest him until he's completely healthy. We apparently will be playing important gamesin December

i'm sure your frustration concerns him. this is the nfl, people get hurt...both his injuries appear to be nothing more than bad luck, it happens.

[Mr.Debonair]

How awesome would that be

[Malakai432]

Frustrating, Vontae has a lot of potential... To see him injured (again) is just frustrating

[ColtsBlueFL]

V. Davis was a great pickup. Sometimes players get hurt making plays. It's a collision sport. Too bad we seem to get more than our share to good players at key positions, though. Sigh.

[chrisfarley]

ouch, that sounds like a bad one .... ugh !! oh well, perhaps he didn't tear, he just stretched ligaments and has bruising. if he did tear, you're looking at 6 weeks easy. Does anyone know about the MRI on Fleenor's shoulder, he had it performed today according to Coach Arians.

[John Dee]

Hopefully he is back for NE. That should be the new goal IMO.

But, this stinks. We do need him but I have faith we can handle the next two teams without him possibly.

Indy has not caught a break on the injury front for at least 4 or 5 years now...

This just blows...

[Andy]

Oh boy... that 2nd rounder is looking awfully nice right about now.

What are you talking about??? Opposing QBs are picking on him more than anyone. He cant hang with anyone.

[BOTT]

really?? oh no fleener is hurt...should have never drafted him

[BOTT]

he was referring to davis not powers

[Andy]

No, Im talking about this year's second rounder. The one we traded for Davis...

yeah, i got that....i was responding to your overreaction to his injury...sorry i thought that was obvious.
