Arthur Jones

[TYtheMan13]

Hopefully he's not too hurt, or out long..but IF he is then our Dline Depth will really be tested (run defense could be bad especially the first 2 weeks against running teams)...I realize Anderson would take his place but then who do you guys think will rotate with Anderson? does this mean we should keep 7 DL?!

[Boiler_Colt]

Anderson flashed on some plays but got pushed around on some others. He looked better when playing with Langford and Parry. I hope Jones isnt out too long, I bet its at least a few weeks. Hughes did next to nothing but Kerr flashed a little bit. Im surprised we didn't see any of Quarles, he looked good against the Eagles. If Jones is out for any extended period of time. I'd think we'd look for another veteran somewhere.

agree, also Pendleton could be a option..he was ok when he played last year.

Chuck Pagano says Arthur Jones went out with an ankle injury. Evaluate Jones tomorrow. Doesn't know severity.

Pagano said they would have to wait and see what happens when the doctors look at him.

fingers crossed, this could be a great year for the colts, and he would be a BIG piece of their success

[akcolt]

It was an ankle that cost him last year. I hope this isn't serious.

[mattceinicram]

We can't afford to have Jones out for an extended period of time

[GoColts8818]

On the plus side I thought Anderson played really well when he came in for Jones.  I still want Jones to be out there but I left this game with positive feelings about Anderson!

Opposite ankle if that makes a difference

[Dark Superman]

Jones was spotted in a walking boot.. I'm guessing he will miss at least the first few weeks of the season. Hopefully it's not the same ankle that killed him last year.

Pagano said Vick Ballard pulled a hamstring during Thursday's practice. Different from the one at camp. Josh Robinson: concusion protocol

Not surprised happened last season. He better play week one though

Nope, it was the right ankle last season.

He's been an injury prone dude since coming to Indy.  Unfortunate.

Maybe not.....the team is getting accustomed to playing without him...it's becoming normal.

....but he is certainly not worth the money Irsay is paying him.

Dude is all booted up.  So not looking good for that.

When healthy he is, too bad that isn't becoming very common

Or what? I love the he better do this post. If he's hurt he's not helping anything being out there. We saw that last season.

Let's hope the boot is a precaution and it's not that bad. On the bright side D Line is one of our deepest groups. Obviously we don't have another Jones but we have some depth there.

[krunk]

Please don't tell me it's another high ankle sprain!

[akcolt]

Maybe not so bad: This was Jones' left ankle; a year ago, a high right ankle sprain cost Jones 13 games.

[Dark Superman]

So now he has two bad ankles?

[braveheartcolt]

Sounds like a Jackson 5 song.

Yes he better play game 1 this season. He lost weight this off season to make sure injuries like that didn't happen. I'm holding him accountable for his own words

[Gavin]

Hope he is alright soon...But honestly he has not been very good when playing, He has been on the ground a whole lot, This could have a trickle down effect for another player at another position trying to make the roster if Jones misses significant time....Such as RB

[IndyD4U]

I may be wrong, but I think it's pretty much SOP when it comes to putting players in walking boots when they have foot/ankle injuries before they can be further evaluated. Could be nothing major

[BigQandTheManiac]

Jones is really starting to irritate me.

[Luckynumber12]

Id like to see them add a good vet guy like tommy Kelly if he has a high ankle or anything significant

[HOZER]

Jones is really starting to irritate me.

Same here

[Colt^2]

Colts DT Art Jones suffered an ankle injury last night, but X-Rays were negative. MRI today to learn how bad the sprain is. He’s valuable. Per @rapsheet via Twitter

Really hope it isn't major.

Arthur Jones / X-rays on Arthur Jones' sprained ankle came back negative. https://t.co/1wbrQgm5Be #NFL #IND

X-Rays came back negative, so there's that.

LOL You're holding him accountable huh?  How, pray tell, do you plan on doing that?  

 

This reminds me of the scene in Dodgeball... "Nobody makes me bleed my own blood..."  

 

Its football, injuries happen.  I'd love to hear your plan for holding players accountable that get injured during a play... 

[GoColts8818]

Hopefully it's not a high ankle sprain and is just a sprained ankle and he'll be back in a couple of weeks,

[The Old Crow]

Art is a great player when healthy, but the history of guys leaving the Ravens defense and going elsewhere is not good. Kim Herring, Ed Hartwell, A.Thomas, Ellerbe , Bart Scott. Kruger has done well for Cleveland , so hopefully Art will get healthy and play up to his contract.

[USAFHoosier]

Hope Art is ok, but I was impressed with Anderson

[masterlock]

Art is a great player when healthy...

I don't think there's much of a basis to say he's great. When has he been great? Or, to put it another way, when has he NOT been injured? Rarely.
