Colts placed Brandon McKinney on injured reserve

 

 

Second year in a row being placed on IR. It's going to be hard to recover from that. Wish him a quick recovery.

[TKnight24]

Cut him on the 1st round of cuts.

He's no good here

[HarassedOffTheSite]

Hmmm...

[Derakynn]

Did he retreat his Acl?

You beat me to it, but I was putting it in the camp thread....I wonder if we keep 3 NTs......with injuries I am curious.

[RomanianColtsFan]

Colts were really nice to him.

[PrincetonTiger]

Wow

I cut down

[PrincetonTiger]

Prime was not gone long

[csmopar]

Looks like we pin our hopes on Chapman now.....

[Gavin]

Good luck on his recovery, i got the oppurtunity to have a couple conversations with him and got his autograph, I think he was on the outside looking in regardless of injury

[PrincetonTiger]

This injury could open up a spot for one of the ST players like Adongo or Rayford.

No, you keep him on IR, and you go through the proper injury settlement procedure. There might also be a possibility that he could come back later. I haven't heard anything about the nature of the injury yet.

[HtownColt]

CO Prime is back on team

@gmbremer: Waivers on LB C.O. Prime have been rescinded. NT Brandon McKinney placed on IR, and Prime returns to the roster. #ColtsCamp

[PrincetonTiger]

What a day to remember for C.O.

[Carlos Danger]

We have plenty of depth at NT when you consider that Jean Francois and Hughes can also fill in there... I didn't expect us to keep all three (Franklin, Mckinney, and Chap) true noses anyway... if we need one, maybe MTV isnt shaken up too bad...

[Smonroe]

If this is our only major injury, I'll be elated. 

[corgi]

Okay C.O. you are back on life support.

That's true. The problem is that we lost all but one of our camp NTs last year, and the Colts have a history of losing defensive tackles to injury. Hopefully having Hughes and RJF helps.

[BlueCollarColts]

Good thing we signed Aubrayo Franklin...

[jamesie jr]

That's so fortunate for CO Prime. 

[Lucky Charm]

What a story if Prime makes the final 53.

[Superman]

Cut him on the 1st round of cuts.

He's no good here

 

By the way, just to clarify my earlier comment, McKinney is a vested veteran, with 4+ years of accrued service. So we can place him directly on IR without going through waivers. We already have the roster spot cleared up. 

[TKnight24]

CO Prime as the sleeper. Get cut then re-signed in the SAME day?

That should put a chip on his shoulder to knock someone off the 53 to grab his spot

Let's see what happens

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

Well this didn't take long???

[CS Colts Fan]

cut him, we have enough depth....

[GoColts8818]

I think this will end his NFL career

[HarassedOffTheSite]

That should put a chip on his shoulder...

Or light a fire under his...

[Malakai432]

I think this will end his NFL career

Yeah they were talking about that on 1070 JMV earlier when they received reports of it from a Ravens insider of all places. Him and Conrad Brunner thought it would be the end as well, think it was him and CB.

Pretty unfortunate for him, would've been nice to see him healthy and able to play.

[BOTT]

I doubt he would have made the final roster anyway.

[#BringBobBack]

i like mckinney alot i think he can be a great depth NT the people saying hes dead weight havent given him a chance to recover and show how much of an asset or a liability he can be on this monster d line id love to see him make a comeback after hes given the proper time to heal his knee and show what he can do dont give up on him just yet just like ahmad bradshaw and ben ijalana i see unlimited potential just a little patience is needed an acl tear is not very easy to recover from just give the guy a shot to show what he can do

[Warhorse]

Hope that isn't the end of your career, big guy. Still hoping you get to start a game as a member of the Colts.

[bayone]

That's true. The problem is that we lost all but one of our camp NTs last year, and the Colts have a history of losing defensive tackles to injury. Hopefully having Hughes and RJF helps.

 

hopefully having hughes, sounds so strange if was used the way polian had him oiut of position

[lollygagger8]

If they can keep Ijalana on IR for two years, they can keep McKinney. 

 

 

 

GO C.O. PRIME!! 

[#BringBobBack]

Cut him on the 1st round of cuts.

He's no good here

i disagree tknight just give the guy the proper time to recover like stated above ijalana was given two years and hes coming back strong lets see what mckinney can do after he recovers an acl injury is a rough recovery process

[Superman]

You know that's a different Hughes, right? We traded Polian's Jerry Hughes to the Bills. We drafted Montori Hughes, which is who I'm talking about.

Yeah nut that name just stays with me , its like a big meal sticking to my ribs

[Andy]

Another year of him riding the IR.

 

I doubt he'll ever see the field with teh Colts again. This is his last year under contract with the Colts.

I read somewhere RJF could play NT in a pinch do not remember where i read that though.
