Reggie Wayne's Elbow Injury (Mega Merge)

[Doctor Mad]

Give Moncrief the start and see what he's got.

[Ja'Crispy]

Oh look, someone found a way to blame Pep Hamilton in this thread... I was waiting for this all day!

How about we blame Luck for leading his receiver into a bad hit that caused him to get hurt. I am pretty sure Reggie was a checkdown on that play anyways and if memory serves Luck threw the ball late which led Reggie right into the defenders.

But it is so nice to keep the streak alive of blaming Pep for everything! Mathis gets hurt, Peps fault. Landry gets suspended, Pep must've pushed him the PEDs. Ebola... yep that's Pep too. We could end world hunger if we just fired Pep Hamilton!

It's not a true thread until Pep gets blamed ;)

Well if Wayne is out that means we should see more Moncrief on 3 wide sets.  I do think that Nicks at least for the time being is going to be replacing Wayne as #2 though.  

[Dark Superman]

Time for Nicks to show what hes still got left in that tank of his..

[Steamboat_Shaun]

I agree 100% I got really upset over that.

 

Wayne wanted to be back out there, he toughed it out, which is what you want in a veteran leader like him. All a head coach has to go on at that point is what the player tells him, so I'm not bothered by Pagano's decision to put him back out there.

[adamthyst]

Losing Reggie for a game or two isn't too bad, give him some rest to rejuvenate.

 

 

In the meantime, FEED MONCRIEF.

[Flash7]

I see that most forum members are saying that Nicks or Moncrief will be Reggie's replacement for the Steeler's game. What if the coaches decide to go with Whalen, since he, like Reggie, is a possession receiver, and is sure-handed?

That's a great point and IMP, not a bad idea at all.

[Happy2BeHere]

Ehh..put Hasslebeck in at QB and let Luck cover for Reggie & Trent out there....he can switch between RB and WR 

[sixfive]

Let Reggie sit this week, we have enough  weapons at receiver and tight end.  This will be a good time for Nicks to step it up, and Moncief can get some touches.  No worries Colts fans let the old man sit this one out.

I don't see it, Whalen is doing a great job returning and while he has good hands, Moncrief and Nicks probably have a greater ability to get open while also having good hands.

It looks like he's okay?

 

Via Reggie Wayne's interview with @calabro13sports: "I feel good. Everything's fine. Hard to say if I'm gonna go or not, but I expect to."

Hey guys. Just wanted to say I'm a bit worried because we've only got 4 receivers going into the game this week assuming Reggie's out. I really think we should bring Josh Lenz or Ryan Lankford from the Practice squad this week cause I think we need to have at least 5 receivers for the game, especially if Steelers put double coverage on TY this week. What do you guys think

I think we'll be okay. Reggie thinks he'll play, but even if he doesn't, Moncrief/Nicks will get more snaps.

Reggie can be active but not play unless they absolutely need him to. This way, we can still have 5 active receivers and let Reggie get rest if he needs it.

[Johnny colt]

Let Wayne rest up in Pitt and put Nicks and Moncrief to the test.

[keverton]

Some people sayin we won't miss reggie he's. Still are best reciever

[SilentHill]

We are absolutely stacked at WR. We really wont miss him that much.

[Bluefire4]

We lost some of our WR depth but we should be ok with TY, Nicks, Moncrief, and Griff.

[Mr.Debonair]

Thanx to the development of the TEs we will be okay but I have 0 faith in Nicks to produce. Lucky for us we had to deal with playing without Reggie last year. I just feel much better with 87 in the lineup

There is no I in team. Reggie knows this, he shouldn't be putting his streak above staying healthy for the sake of the team.

What streak are we talking about here?

[Cynjin]

Good to hear that nothing of significance found on the MRI, per Indystar.

[Smash Mouth]

Lets not fool ourselves, the Colts will miss Reggie.  There will be a day when they will be without him but we need him to move the chains.  However I thought his drop last week was because he couldn't extend his elbow.  I say sit him until he's healthy.

Hilton is out best receiver, and it's not even close.

stop living in the past and recognize the greatness of TY hilton. Reggie was a non factor in the 27-0 beatdown of the bengals while Hilton had over 100 yards.

No damage to Reggie's elbow.

 

Great news!

Maybe now he won't try and catch himself as he goes to the ground. Especially carrying someone else's weight. That's one of the dumbest things RB's and WR's do. Heck I was taught that on middle school 20 years ago. You'll break your arm.

[Deathiltis]

Reggie has looked like a 35 year old receiver coming off a torn ACL for the mostpart. Luck learned and adjusted without him last year. The Colts will be fine giving Nicks and Moncrief more run.

[jskinnz]

Not sure what you are watching but apparently it is not colts games because no one who has would come to that conclusion.

And the word is our and not are.

[ColtsBlueFL]

What streak are we talking about here?

 

I believe Reggie has a streak of catching at least 3 passes in each game he starts; somewhere around 77 or 78 I think.  Nice stat, but not one people will be able to recall easily down the road methinks...

[Cynjin]

PFT reporting that Reggie is definitely out for Sunday.

[Ja'Crispy]

This game will be good for Nicks to step up and make a case for himself or else Moncrief can take his spot. Somebody needs to step up.
