#colts HC Chuck Pagano: TE Dwayne Allen (ankle), CB Greg Toler (neck), CB Darius Butler (hip) out for Titans.

9:45 AM - 25 Sep 2015

Joe Reitz can play Allen since they throw to him more than the TEs anyway. Toler, when does week to week become month to month? Butler, still recovering from his burns.

[MTC]

Welp.

[CR91]

as long as davis plays

[James]

At least Vontae will play. I think we can get by the Titans with Vontae + CB scrubs. I am more worried about our ILB in coverage. But, think we'll win this one.

[ColtsConsistency]

Greg Toler not playing?! ... Why am I not surprised whatsoever. What a waste of a roster slot.

[Valpo2004]

Who's the Titan's #2 receiver.  Start him in fantasy. . . (Only sort of joking)

 

I can't see how we're going to be able to win very many games like this.

[SilentHill]

Greattttttt

[Patrick Miller]

Glass Joe toler. Its getting old.

[MB-ColtsFan]

DA sure isn't helping his contract situation any by being injured yet again.  Hopefully he's back for

the Jags game and it's nothing lingering.

With how much the TEs are neglected, Allen and Fleener will be had for a couple million each, as it stands. And not by the Colts, because they'll go somewhere that they're appreciated and utilized.

[RockThatBlue]

Looks like I'm gonna start DGB in my fantasy league.

[ColtsLegacy]

Toler was a limited participant all week in practice, so maybe next week? Ahh, who am I kidding?

[IndyD4U]

I'll echo the same...

 

My patience on Toler was up a long time ago. Mariota should have a decent game.

It's all part of the master plan.  Get the opposing coordinators to not game plan for them.  Then unleash them

throwing to them 20 times in a row.  Yeah, that's the ticket...

Dwayne Allen with his annual absence due to injury

[Bluefire4]

If you listened to the press conferences and interviews this week you would have known Greg Toler was out. Pagano said he got limited practice but could not take contact. Toler explained it's taking longer because neck injuries are "wait and see" unlike other injuries where you can get treatment.

[COLTS449]

Greg "Made of glued together glass" Toler.  #offseasonupgrade

[COLTS449]

Yep. It made no sense why we didn't go after Sean Smith instead. Smith's a much better player who got a similar contract. Maybe we can get him this offseason.

The sean smith that is currently suspended for DUI?

[Spider2-Y-Banana]

I don't know about anyone else, but I am sick of Allen.  I know he is talented but he is ALWAYS hurt!  We need to try to trade him.

[COLTS449]

The sean smith that is currently suspended for DUI?

 

Yeah I know, but he's still a beast. He was a FA the year we signed Toler. They both got similar contracts. Smiths the better player.

[NagelHausForge]

At what point do the Colts finally move away from these made of glass type players and actually get people they can rely on?  Toler; always "perennial week to week"... Allen "Always dinged up".... And yet the Colts will probably re-sign these players and we will have to yet again watch them ride the pine and collect a dang pay check.

Dwayne Allen with his annual absence due to injury

Dwayne Allen is starting to remind me of Dwayne Wade with all these games being missed. Like both of these guys are always nursing some type of injury and takes PTO days. Ok, I got enough for 1 more week of PTO. Not Funny!

Oh and Toler. When was the last time he played a meaningful game.

[Smash Mouth]

Dwayne Allen with his annual absence due to injury

I agree.  A lot of people are banging on Toler but Allen misses a few games too.

[Derakynn]

People act like it's Tolers fault he isn't playing. What is he supposed to do, risk paralysis? It's a neck injury. You don't just ignore it.

[CanuckColt]

The Allen news is discouraging...it looks like we have another 'brittle' player on our hands.

[OLD FAN MAN]

grigs history is signing fragile players hoping they will become iron men

[NewColtsFan]

Glass Joe toler. Its getting old.

 

Yes,  he has a glass neck.    And we all know how unimportant a neck is to a human being!

 

He should just tape it up and play on it!

[Yoshinator]

We are very fortunate to get Vontae back. At least there's a small light at the beginning of the tunnel from last week with us seeing the secondary have a solid performance as decimated as they were. I do believe we win this week, and next week maybe we get Toler or Butler back.

[DougDew]

Why does everybody seemingly bust on Toler but give Allen a pass.?

 

I'd like to see the actual stats of what percentage of games Toler and Allen have played since they've been here.

 

I'd wager that they are very close.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Figures. Luckily we have 2 real winnable games in front of us so these guys can get healthy.

[Defjamz26]

Not that it matters since we don't use TEs, but I've had enough of Allen.

[ColtsConsistency]

------------------------------------------

It's not that we expect him to play or the nature of his injury. The point is how often he is healing for something. He's lucky to get two games back to back without sustaining yet another setback injury. And then he's on the shelf for another 4 to 6 games, it's repetitive, same cycle with that guy.

[Buck Showalter]

At least with Allen out thats one less TE fans dont have to worry about NOT getting thrown to...

Is that a double negative???

Not positive, but it actually may be a tripple negative...

[Freenyfan102]

They need to toughen up

Dude.  It's the NFL.  Injuries happen.  Eddie Lacy just sat out the Seahawks game after spraining an ankle in the 1st quarter.  He had missed 2 games in his entire career prior to that. 

 

Tony Romo

Dez Bryant

Luke Kuechly

 

Also out right now.

What does that have to due with the fact that every time you turn around Allen and Toler missing games

[tvturner]

Trent Cole is out with a knee injury

[krunk]

Didn't Toler play every single game last year? To me you would have to be more upset with his inconsistencies than durability. At least what he has isn't bad bad. Just have to let it heal. I just wish we had more depth on the back end while we are waiting. I think I may trust Jaleel Brown better in the slot than I do outside.

[NewEra]

Time to move on from Toler at the end of the year. Sick of all these constant injuries
