Werner

[colts_mp]

Was this caused from a hit or getting stepped on or did he cause the injury himself? 

[BOTT]

This also should give Eric Walden a chance to show what he can do rushing the passer.

I would keep the expectations pretty low

It's a football thing. I don't think the Colts have any more injuries than other teams.

Actually, stats show that Indy is actually one of the most injury bitten teams, historically speaking

Sad news and I hope he comes back sooner then later. At least he will be back this season though and maybe sitting and watching he will learn a lot as well. (hey have to look on the bright side!)

[Manning1887]

what players could we have taken instead of Werner?  he seems to always be injured.

DeAndre Hopkins is basically Reggie Wayne Jr.

 

Xavier Rhodes is playing well

 

That being said, I think he will develop into a good player. Just unfortunate that we have so many guys getting hurt

[chrisfarley]

dropping like flies is an understatement.  no excuses however.  it seems like the Patriots are always dealing with injuries.  They are undefeated and playing very well.  I hate to say next man up because I'm starting to toss-up in my mouth a little bit when I hear that, but............................

will Carol who is an injury expert said a study done over the last 15 years showed the Colts have had more injuries than any other team in football over that span. Frankly makes all the winning we have done over that time more impressive.

Not all injuries are created equal. The Titans lost their QB for over a month, Packers lost starting LT before the season even started, Seahawks offensive line is a mess/Percy Harvin. It just gets old hearing this board whine as if other teams don't have to deal with the same issues.

Especially when our hated rival the Pats just lost one of there best players (Wilfork) for the season.

I don't know about the Will Carol study. Will have to look at it.

 

As for the AGL stat, that doesn't necessarily mean that the Colts have more players injured. It means injured players missed more games.

 

Maybe the Colts have had more injuries, or been more adversely affected by them. I know 2010 was ridiculous.

Keep in mind that number was starters only, meaning we were missing enough top guys for long enough to equal about 90 games missed to injury in a 16 game season. Pretty crazy.

Uuuuuuuuuuugggggghhhhh

[Dark Superman]

He injured, that's all you know. Sitting there acting like up have any clue how severe it is just makes you look foolish.

And I said it didn't seem good for him.

He's out for 4-6 weeks

I was right .. Again.

[chrisfarley]

Did some research on this injury.  Looks like they cannot fix / repair the actual torn ligament, eventually scar tissue will form and bridge the gap where the tear is and thus the 6 week+ recovery time.  They start out with crutches (no weight bearing), then migrate to a boot with limited pressure then move from there into special orthotics and such.  This injury leads to other symptoms and other foot problems but he's young and will be prescribed special supportive cleats providing optimal support for the ligament, he then should be good.  The best article I could find on it is below.  The NBA sees a lot of these, same numbers as ACL injuries. Get well

U just guessed. I could say that about any player that leaves the field....and be right at times. Or u had some inside information that u kept secret.

I have my sources..

None were certain at the time of my first post.. Just speculation..

Just had a gut feeling that it wasn't a good sign..
