AJ Green expected to miss Sundays game

[John Waylon]

Phone won't link it, but PFT is reporting that Green is expected to miss the game this Sunday with his toe ailment.

I certainly won't complain.

[Valpo2004]

Improves our odds quite a bit.  

[TKnight24]

Aww man

We can't add to Vontae Davis: "Quest to be the best" campaign if he's shutting out #2 & #3 WR's

[Everyone]

That helps, Burfict could also be hearing from the league about his dirty play on Olsen and Newton.

not like aj was gonna play defense because luck is gonna destroy them. 

[Smonroe]

Sanu is a very good WR, probably a #1 on most teams.

I think it's equally as important that Eifert is also out. TEs can be our weakness, Grisham hasn't been much of a factor, we need to keep it that way.

ill wait till gameday or few days before actually believing anything

Same here....injury reports 6 days ahead of the game are a little like the week before the draft.

[Nobody]

My fantasy team is sad but it's good for the Colts, so who cares? We need to watch out for Sanu though, he tore it up without AJ.

[GoColts8818]

Good news for the Colts but they still put up 31 on the Panthers without him. They can still score.

i believe after continuing to get treatment, he will likely play. their coach says , "day to day"

[1959Colts]

I watched the Cinn-Carolina game...

The Bengals got pretty banged up

 

Banged-up Bengals continue taking hits

[1959Colts]

INJURY UPDATE: The injuries continue to pile up on the Bengals, who still managed to score 34 points in regulation without their starting wide receivers.

Middle linebacker Rey Maualuga (hamstring) and SAM backer Emmanuel Lamur (shoulder) went down hard in the fourth quarter and as they coped with the serious injuries in the post-game it was hard seeing them being ready for next Sunday’s game in Indianapolis.

 It’s believed that Lamur’s injury isn’t as serious as the shoulder injury that wiped out his 2013 season before it started, but he was in pain. He made the last tackle in regulation and if he hadn’t got hurt; the Panthers would have been scrambling to get set up for the tying field goal because they had no timeouts left. The clock stopped at six by rule with less than two minutes left.

There is also the unknown about when wide receivers A.J. Green (toe) and Marvin Jones (ankle) are going to return. As in, there is no time frame for either of them and there is some talk that they may think about surgery for Jones.

........ Exactly...... The Panthers

Not exactly a good team.......

Day to day can easily mean 3 weeks. Pagano has been calling Art Jones "day to day" for about that long now. Only a twitter report but I did find this....Rotoworld...

 

 

Green does not have a tear in his right big toe and will not require surgery. But the issue is severe enough that he's already pessimistic on a return seven days from now, which is never a good sign. Green has a doctor's appointment Friday, at which point we should find out more. Mohamed Sanu torched the Panthers for 10-120-1 in Week 6.

[Mr.Debonair]

I won't count on it until it's reported that he's inactive Sunday morning.

[BrentMc11]

Injuries happen....look at us

 

I want to blow them out as a pay back for last year's  42-28 stinker in River-town!      

[GoColts8818]

........ Exactly...... The Panthers

Not exactly a good team.......

i don't care who it is, 31 points is still 31 points and means the Bengals can still score if given the chance.

[Andy]

That's a big break for the Colts, but Sanu had a 10 catch game and can do some damage. Gio Bernard is also dangerous too, so even without AJ, this offense is quite good.

Green and Eifert are both out.

Well andre johnson pretty much put that quest to rest. 7 catches 99 yards and a td

[RockThatBlue]

They looked good without him yesterday. But no doubt it helps our chances at least a little bit

[RockThatBlue]

Well andre johnson pretty much put that quest to rest. 7 catches 99 yards and a td

Don't think Vonte was covering him the whole game. Could be wrong though.Think Toler gave up a few of those 7 catches

[Boiler_Colt]

The key to beating the Bengals is keep Gio under wraps

[Dark Superman]

Sanu is a very good WR, probably a #1 on most teams.

I was going to ask about Eifert.. Is he injured?

[TKnight24]

Well andre johnson pretty much put that quest to rest. 7 catches 99 yards and a td

Greg Toler allowed the TD

Remember he was literally in front of the pass and missed allowing Andre to score

So yeah

[Dark Superman]

Don't think Vonte was covering him the whole game. Could be wrong though.Think Toler gave up a few of those 7 catches

Vontae couldn't handle Johnson

[Dark Superman]

Being at home helps a lot.. We need to keep maintaining pressure on the QB's and keep on making those big plays and creating turnovers..

[Dark Superman]

Last year when they beat us our offensive line was horrible.. And our receivers Luck was throwing to was Whalen, Rogers and Brazil.

[UKCOLT17]

Well andre johnson pretty much put that quest to rest. 7 catches 99 yards and a td

 

no corner is a shutdown corner

[Smonroe]

I was going to ask about Eifert.. Is he injured?

Yes. IR, but designated to return.

[BlueShoe]

Here come the excuses. ;)

 

Reminds me of a time Roy Jones and Tarver squared off.

 

When the referee asked the fighters if they had any questions, Tarver leaned into the mic and asked, "You got any excuses this time, Roy?"

[NewColtsFan]

Even without AJG,  this is not going to be an easy game.

 

There is a lot of talent on the Bengals roster.   A lot.   They're still the favorites in the AFC North.  They will be ready when they come into LOS......

 

Something is going on with their defense....   It's not playing up to par for them.   Hope they don't get things figured out in time for Sunday....

 

I expect a very tough game for the Colts.....  Very.

[RockThatBlue]

Vontae couldn't handle Johnson

Maybe Andre is one of those few that Vontae has a hard time with. Although hes hard to cover for a lot of people.

There's no shame in getting beat by AJ.. The guy is a monster

[RockThatBlue]

Very true.

[wesd2890]

Whens the last time sherman let up 7 catches for 99 yards and a td... go ahead ill wait

[jvan1973]

Well andre johnson pretty much put that quest to rest. 7 catches 99 yards and a td

vontae wasn't on him the entire game

[jvan1973]

Whens the last time sherman let up 7 catches for 99 yards and a td... go ahead ill wait

no corner on the colts gave that up either

When was the last time Sherm played the right side of the field. go ahead.... I'll wait

[chad72]

Colts 31 Bengals 20

 

I will be shocked if it is not a double digit win at home vs the Bengals given how well we have played recently.
