DHB HURT?

[Monster]

Just watched report on ESPN that DHB appears to have sprained his knee today in practice. Not good, I wonder how serious it is? and how long he'll be down. Hopefully he starts the season would LOVE to see him 'light up' Oakland. Anyone with news keep us updated plz.

[Dustin]

Anywhere from 2-6 weeks. He should be ready week 1.

[Ja'Crispy]

He was walking around during practice with a wrap. It didn't look too serious, but I'm not a doctor, I just play one on TV.

A real chance for LaVon Brazil

 

..they need him and he needs a chance at redemption..aftre the drug problem

whoops..LaVon got a 4-game suspension....

 

..so much for his chance...Can a suspended player play in the pre-season? .

He can play in the pre-season.

Great. hope that holds true.

[oldunclemark]

He can play in the pre-season.

Thanks....I didnt know..

 

I like him if he can stay off the weed...Here's an unexpected chance for him to win his coaches favor back

[HtownColt]

Mathis was out 2-3 weeks last year with a sprained knee, think he ended up sitting 3 weeks. But players heal differently but it should be in that timeframe

[BPM_Colt]

Being that we haven't played any preseason games yet.. I believe he will get the necessary rest to be out there playing his old team week one

[csmopar]

I sprained my knee in november last year, I was running again by december. All depends on how fast the fluid and swelling goes away and what part of the knee he sprained

[james_zeigler1994]

I really hope so.

[CR91]

we're losing some key players already. good thing the raiders are still a month away

[BOTT]

It's a knee sprain....relax

[Superman]

No fun having a swollen knee, even slightly swollen. But in between treatment, DHB ought to be spending as much time on the Juggs machine as possible. 

[ar1888]

It's a knee sprain....relax

That's also what the Colts thought when Edgerrin James tore his ACL in the 2001 season.

And a brused knee for Marvin Harrison in the 2007 season.

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d802d3154/article/colts-lose-harrison-morris-to-knee-injuries-against-broncos

My point is whenever a knee is involved I never feel comfortable until they have played a few games on it.

[lollygagger8]

Uggghhhh, it's getting kind of disheartening to see injury threads every other day.  

 

 

At least Griff Whalen will get a chance to show everyone what he can do.  

[Dark Superman]

Mr. whalens time to shine.. He has been the most impressive receiver at camp by far.

Darrius Heyward-Bey hurts knee in Colts practice

 

here are articles

http://espn.go.com/nfl/trainingcamp13/story/_/id/9538336/darrius-heyward-bey-indianapolis-colts-sprained-left-knee

 

That progress may be on hold for a little bit. Craig Kelley of the Colts website passes along word that Heyward-Bey sprained his left knee at the team’s practice on Sunday. There’s nothing more about the extent of the injury or possible timetables for return at this point, but it’s a good bet that Heyward-Bey will see some time on the sideline and miss next weekend’s preseason opener against the Bills next Sunday.

Not to appear medically ignorant but...

 

...what exactly is a knee 'sprain'???

[HtownColt]

@mchappell51: Waiting for an update on #colts Darrius Heyward-Bey's sprained left knee. Probably after afternoon practice. Had a brace on knee in morning

[BOTT]

Not to appear medically ignorant but...

It's a stretching or partial tear of one of the ligaments around the knee

[HtownColt]

Mortensen on ESPN says DHB has a sprained MCL which is what Robert Mathis missed 3 weeks with last season

[lollygagger8]

Sprained MCL.......fffffffffffffffff

[Valpo2004]

Sprained MCL.......fffffffffffffffff

 

could be a lot worse

[Superman]

I figure they hold him out of the preseason. That sucks, just as he was starting to seem comfortable. But not the end of the world.

[BOTT]

Sprained MCL.......fffffffffffffffff

Considering what's happening around the league, I would consider that good news.

[AllYouNeedIsLuck]

He'll be back for week 1?

[HtownColt]

@KBowenColts: No update on Darrius Heyward-Bey's knee injury. Team says the injury is not serious

[Coltswarriors]

Conflicting reports now on DHB. Now they're saying that his injury isn't serious.

Maybe by not serious they mean not season ending.

[HtownColt]

@mchappell51: Being reported #colts Darrius Heyward-Bey has Grade 1 sprain of left MCL. Team would not elaborate. Stressed it's "not serious.''

2-3 weeks normally

It's a knee sprain. He could be back as soon as next week.. No need to rush it. Benn for Philadelphia had the same injury and only missed a week. I'm sure he will be back by week 1. But hopefully he will be back for the final pre season game to get some reps in.

And yes I would LOVE to see him light up Oakland.

[sreylas937]

what is sad, DHB has just as good of odds of catchin a pass injured and not playin as he does when he does play

[GoColts8818]

Mike Wells reporting he had an MRI which came back negative and he's day-to-day.

[Slick_Rick]

I think he should take it easy during preseason. No reason to risk anything until he and the coaches are comfortable getting him out there. Hopefully, the time out doesn't hurt him much, but on the bright side, these younger guys can take advantage of increased reps

on the bright side it's NOT a torn ACL or something. I agree with taking it easy i would be shocked if he plays Sunday.

[CS Colts Fan]

just saw on Rotoworld... Great News.

 

Darrius Heyward-Bey - WR - Colts

Coach Chuck Pagano said an MRI on Darrius Heyward-Bey's left knee came back negative.

The MRI confirmed that Heyward-Bey did not sustain any ligament tears. As previously reported by ESPN's Chris Mortensen, he has an MCL sprain and is expected to be sidelined for a few weeks. The Colts have officially listed DHB as "day to day." T.Y. Hilton is going to run away with the No. 2 wideout job.

Beat me to it. This is very good news, but it seems like everyone is sold on TY over DHB. Not saying I agree or disagree, though.

[Slick_Rick]

I think T.Y. may be the No. 2 in targets, but I just am not sure I like the idea of him on the outside. He is a true match-up nightmare in the slot.
