Not surprised.

Wow, Toler is becoming Bob Sanders2. I like him and think he's much better than some give him credit for, but if he's going to be injured all the time, then it's time to find somebody else. I don't want another Sanders on this team. It was infuriating seeing him injured all the time and it's starting to get that way with Toler.

[PrincetonTiger]

Toler is becoming an injury concern

Hopefully the others hold outs were precautionary

[Dustin]

Why didn't Hilton practice? 

 

EDIT: It's his shoulder.

[Smonroe]

And Powers is still playing?  I'd rather have Toler wait until he's 100% than try to get back early and get re-injured.

 

We need him for the playoffs.  It's almost better if he misses this game.  KC won't know his tendencies first hand if he plays later.

@TribStarTJames: Colts Thursday injury update: Franklin, rest; Hilton, shoulder.

I don't know about you but I'm convinced it's an Indianapolis thing. Powers was hurt here, goes to Arizona doesn't even need a band-aid. I just don't understand it

[Buck Showalter]

well at least Brown, Brazil, & Havili are a go...

not sure what is worse Toler MISSING practice, or Satele at FULL participation...

[indy1888]

Toler has already said he cant play through injuries like other guys do. He was at 90-95 percent a couple weeks ago according to his own words.  Must be one heck of a groin injury.  Maybe they should look a little closer to see if it's something more serious, at this point i won't be shocked if he misses the playoff game too.

[TKnight24]

The latter

And I say that because Reitz & Link didn't practice either. So that increases chances of Satele going back to C since we're short on Guards

[BOTT]

I'm more concerned about Thorton, Reitz and Link. Satele, McGlynn and Nixon on the interior is frightening.

Sure they will... his tendency is to be injured.

That is not what he said.  He said the doctors won't clear him to play until he's 100%.

[OLD FAN MAN]

That is not what he said.  He said the doctors won't clear him to play until he's 100%.

imo he should sit out until he is healed. if he plays hurt sometimes a player can hurt something else using different muscles because of the injury. rest get ready for the playoffs

[Deathiltis]

If Grigson doesn't cut Toler and sign another CB (Shields) I'll be immediately upset with offseason moves. Toler is useless, can't guarantee good play from him, can only guarantee injuries. This is already as bad as Bob Sanders level.

[Freenyfan102]

I would rather have Jerrod powers still on the team

[Gabriel Alexander Morillo]

Bad signing by Grigson so far. Probably 1 of his few.

[NewEra]

Good grief.

[Glowfish]

Greg Toler and the groin of doom.

[Coffeedrinker]

I don't mind that.  And even though I think Toler is a big reason why the D played well in the first 6 games, he needs to get on the field or be let go this offseason.  Like Dungy used to say, the most important ability is availability.

No, it isn't. Not even remotely close to Bob Sanders in sideline street clothes injury territory yet. Has Toler been out for awhile? Sure, but identical to #21...Please...

Funny line there Glowfish. LOL! It sounds like the title for the next Indiana Jones film. The last film "IJ & The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull" did not impress me that much, but I digress...

Yeah, it seems like it is FINALLY time to cut our ties with Toler this off-season...we simply cannot afford to have him on our team...he seems VERY injury-prone...we just cannot count on him.

[colts_100nascar17fan]

Cut toler in off season,he aint worth 500,000 let alone what he signed for. Ty no biggie cuz he usually dont play well bring the number one wr,sean smith can shut him down.

Sean Smith tried and he failed. Next.

[BleedBlue18]

Yep, time to cut Toler. He isn't worth the money if he can't do what every other player in the NFL does...Play through injuries. Especially if he is 90-95%, that's just ridiculous.

[sfergson727]

I wouldn't have expected anything else from Bob Sanders....er.....Toler.

[Gavin]

Toler only gave up 2 TD's through his 7 games played, Have not charted the rest of his targeted percentage though or yards per completion against

[OLD FAN MAN]

I agree. football takes a toll on the body, some players might have smaller bones, or stiffer tendons, or whatever makes them more fragile than other players, have to face it ,their body wont take it.i hope he is not one of those, he is good .

[indy1888]

That is not what he said.  He said the doctors won't clear him to play until he's 100%.

 

That's not what he said.

 

He said "some dudes can play with there body a little off, i can't".   Maybe he means something other then playing through an injury but it seems pretty clear cut to me.

[COLTS449]

Yes. That's what I hope we do too. Sam Shields with Vontae would be deadly.

[JoKeR]

That's not what he said.

 

He said "some dudes can play with there body a little off, i can't".   Maybe he means something other then playing through an injury but it seems pretty clear cut to me.

I take it the doctors just agreed with him that he couldn't play,with this setback just from practice, I guess Toler is right.

Sucks, he seems talented but how can we rely on him?

[indy1888]

Yep, time to cut Toler. He isn't worth the money if he can't do what every other player in the NFL does...Play through injuries. Especially if he is 90-95%, that's just ridiculous.

 

He was 90- 95 percent 3 weeks ago.  And he didn't play against the Bengals in what was a pretty big game at the time.

 

Ridiculous is right.  If Grigson knew the guy couldn't play at all unless he was 100 percent he should have spent the money elsewhere. It's the NFL, most guys are not 100 percent for an entire season, even Peyton Manning.

[CVDGxRAZE]

should i be surprised? nope

[Colts_Fan12]

I liked his play when he was in but as others have said we can't have another player go down the bob sanders path

I think we need to cut him after the season he's no use to us on the bench

[HarassedOffTheSite]

LOL all this fainting.

 

Do we know why he did not participate today? Was it because he's hurt or because the staff decided to be precautionary?

 

Seems like something to know before I start belly-aching over it.

 

???
