Colts didn't make Trip

[GoColts8818]

The following Players did NOT make the trip with the team and will be OUT Sunday:

 

Hugh Thornton, Kevell Conner, Greg Toler.

 

That's per Mike Chappell on Twitter.

 

With Link already out look for Reitz and McGlynn to start at Guard on Sunday and hope no one gets hurt because there is extremely little behind them.

 

As for Toler Chappell had been saying all week he didn't think Toler would play and with the field likely to be slippery and wet tomorrow the Colts didn't want to risk him hurting his groin in his comeback attempt.

[Dustin]

That's a hell of a groin injury.

As long as Da'Rick makes it we will win

im saying mann it better be that serious!!!!!!!!!!! 

[GoColts8818]

That's a hell of a groin injury. 

I remember reading that he re-aggravated it in practice a couple of weeks ago.  Probably why it's taking so long to get back from it.  Add in the icy weather tomorrow and the Colts logic makes sense if it's true they don't want to take a chance on him hurting it again on the snow and ice if he's not completely 100% (which no player is at this point in the season).  I'd much rather him miss one more game than turn out to miss another month because he hurts it slipping on the ice/snow that could be on the field tomorrow. 

[snkdy]

Damn it, I was really hoping Toler would be back this week. I get that they don't want to risk it in this weather though.

[BlueCollarColts]

Hopefully Cassius plays like he did last week, and both of our guards suck, so them being out won't hurt that bad, since whoever is behind them can't be THAT much worse

[Ja'Crispy]

Dear groin injury, 

 

[HtownColt]

Thornton has been struggling lately just like McGlynn, not as bad as McGlynn though but struggling to say the least. Hopefully Joe Reitz gives us a boost in pass protection.

[HtownColt]

Hope Josh McNary takes over the snaps Sheppard was getting. I know he will take over Harvey's special teams duties

we need toler for the playoffs, let him heal

Enh they have been in the same ball park lately to me.  Neither has been very good.  The one plus you can say to Thornton is that he's a rookie and he's supposed to struggle.  Honestly I will be interested to see what Reitz can give us because I thought he's been alright when he's played guard, his biggest issue at least to me has been staying healthy. 

[indycrazy1887]

Maybe we put Nixon at guard, idk. Were gunna be really short on lineman

Well Holmes might be active on game day for once this season lol.

[Carl Dzienkiewicz]

does tolers injury need surgery? seems like it------get back on field mr.softee

[bestQBever]

wait... so does that mean our interior line is reitz, satele, and mcglynn? We're in for a long day...

[Gabriel Alexander Morillo]

Man just give the kind some surgery or roids so he can at least come back at some point in the next 3 years.

[VaAllDay757]

I swear Toler is pulling a fast one on the team....what kind groin injury would keep him out this long? smh

[CR91]

man luck is gonna be running for his life tomorrow

[TKnight24]

I guess Greg Toler has no intention of playing anymore this season. Practiced this week but no game? If he doesn't play next week, I'm convinced he's the person Jim Irsay was referring to in his tweet when he was talking about being robbed with machine guns or whatever it was he said along those lines

He was limited all week and like I've been saying Chap has been saying all week on twitter he would surprised if he played on Sunday based on what the coaches were saying about him.

Yeah but still, he's been out since forever. He better come back & ball out when he does play again

[dudeski]

horrible post

[BOTT]

man luck is gonna be running for his life tomorrow

Opposed to the stellar protection previously

[GoColts8818]

Yeah but still, he's been out since forever. He better come back & ball out when he does play again

Like I said I remember reading a couple of weeks ago he re-aggravated it during practice.  That could be why he's out so long plus I am sure the weather forecast for tomorrow didn't make the Colts feel like they needed to rush him back.

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

Thornton has been struggling lately just like McGlynn, not as bad as McGlynn though but struggling to say the least. Hopefully Joe Reitz gives us a boost in pass protection.

He should he is a good pass protector!! Honestly not sure why he hasn't played much way better than McGlynn?

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

Well Holmes might be active on game day for once this season lol.

OH God help us!!!!!!

[jbaron04]

im saying mann it better be that serious!!!!!!!!!!! 

 

That's a hell of a groin injury. 

can the colts get fined for not announcing toler groin surgery 6 weeks ago??

[jbaron04]

He was limited all week and like I've been saying Chap has been saying all week on twitter he would surprised if he played on Sunday based on what the coaches were saying about him.

pags said he would be shocked if toler didnt play, seems to be shot at toler tuffness

[jbaron04]

Hope Josh McNary takes over the snaps Sheppard was getting. I know he will take over Harvey's special teams duties

umm sheppard is not the problem it is angerer, sheppard has bin playing better angerer is the worst lb on the team right now

[Dark Superman]

Toler is really starting to tick me off.

He's been a huge waste of money thus far.

Talked with #colts CB Greg Toler in locker room. Said he will go thru individual drills today and go from there. Didn't sound real confident

 

Pagano: Greg Toler. WIll go through individual drills today. Then we'll see. Will be smart with him. Sam with Josh Gordy, Kavell Conner.

 

Not surprised #oolts Greg Toler will miss 6th game with groin injury. Cincy's field likely to be wet, slippery.

[Gavin]

Well Reitz is an upgrade in pass protection over Thornton at this point in his career, Does this mean if we have to travel on the road in the playoffs that Toler will not play because of the chance that the field will be slippery...Just sayin

[PrincetonTiger]

The moves didn't really shock me

[jbaron04]

toler issue is he want to play but, right before game day he has nightmares of keenan allen and cant get out of bed

I disagree with that strongly because he was back at practice nearly a month ago and reinjured the groin so I don't think he is pulling a fast one but I will agree with you if he don't play another game this season.

[sfergson727]

Phew....based on the title I thought perhaps the Colts were going to be their usual selves when kickoff time comes. Hopefully for the first time in six weeks, the real Colts will show up.

[HtownColt]

umm sheppard is not the problem it is angerer, sheppard has bin playing better angerer is the worst lb on the team right now

Oh it wasn't a knock on him, I just like McNary better than any other reserve LB we have besides Conner. I just want to see him first off the bench to spell Angerer/Freeman that's all.
