Mike Adams and Henry Anderson are key players to this team...

[bap1331]

i love this defense but as soon as these men left, Peyton started grilling the defense. The penalties hurt the broncos at the end but a win is a win man.

 

So glad but we need to fix the depth in case of emergencies. Any status of these 2?

[cjwhiskers]

I think Adams will be fine, I'm definitely worried about Anderson.

Sounds like Anderson may be done for the year. They are saying it is a "significant " knee injury. That's not good

[chrisfarley]

Anderson has a serious knee injury.  Expect him to be gone for the season the way Pagano was talking.  MRI tomorrow will likely confirm everyone's worst fears.  Done for the season with an ACL.  I am hoping for an MCL.  Based on the replay and you have to look careful, it does look extremely bad.  It's such a shame for such a promising player.  These injuries can sometimes affect someone drastically in his line position.  He is very young and he's got that going for him, but the injury will haunt him for a good long time (if it's serious and season ending).  Look for him to be placed on IR tomorrow as soon as the MRI result is confirmed, thus ending a stalwart rise through training camp and hard work and dedication.  He will be missed but he will be back one day.

Agree.

An injured ankle can be bad, a knee is even worse. IMO, Adams cold be out extended time, Anderson will be out extended time.  The nature and severity of the injury will be determined by a Magnetic Resonance Imaging scan.  The timetables will be more clear at that point.

Impossible to know the severity by watching a replay.

as much pain as he was in, I said immediately ACL. Been there myself. Sadly, a once brilliant career may be over. Anderson was a beast and he will be missed badly.

[CR91]

Anderson is most likely done for the year. Horrible. Such a good player

[indyagent17]

Those two are studs. It would be bad if we lost them both for extended time

[jvan1973]

An ACL tear doesn't end a career

No but rarely will you ever be the same again. Unless your AP....

[James Harden]

NOOOOOOO not Anderson. Without him, teams are going to be running down our throats all over again 

[chrisfarley]

It's hard to know the exact injury by watching a replay, it's usually not hard to know the severity.

[NewColtsFan]

Huh?

 

Whose brilliant career may be over?

 

Modern medicine has come a long way. 

 

If Anderson is lost for the year,  he is likely back at the start of next season.

[jvan1973]

Lots of guys come back strong from ACL repair. It's not as big of an issue as it once was.

[jvan1973]

It is very hard to know the severity by just watching the replay.

[runthepost]

Thomas Davis says Hi

Tom Brady says hello

Jamaal Charles also says hi

Now Derreck Rose hasn't responded yet

[NewEra]

Sucks if we lose him for the year but I have no doubt he will be bounce back. ACL injury aren't what the once were

[csmopar]

Some have, yes. But few are the same. Good news is that he's young so he has a chance. But that's assuming it's an ACL tear. Could be a PCL or MCL too.

[PeterBowman]

Andersons a beast but the D line seems to be pretty deep at least.

[lennymoore24]

I hope Adams will be back soon. Anderson is worrisome.  Man, I love the way he and Perry play.  Perry actually gets a pass rush from nose guard, which you don't see much.  Imagine how our run defense would be if our two interior LBs were more in the Jamie Collins size/speed?

[bap1331]

i was at the game. Saw him walk out and he looked really angry and hurt with 2 guys helping carry him. Huge difference from seeing Mike Adams just walk off the field.

It was brutal to see CBS flip the screen real quick over to Anderson laying on the ground with that look on his face that this is bad, really bad.  then they quickly went to a commercial......just makes you queezy and sick at your stomach.

I realize that. But it could be a sprain, it could be a tear. Impossible to know but just watching a replay

it hurts man. I saw the way Peyton was running the ball down the middle when anderson got hurt...Hopefully just a few weeks though.

Peyton is smart and knew how good a run stopper Anderson is/was, they exploit injuries very well.  Adams killed us too, Colt Anderson is no Mike Adams.

[ColtsBlueFL]

Depends on the patient, and what their position requires of them

Yes, and the goal these days is a safe return to sport at 6 months post surgery.  ACL Rehab begins day one in the recovery room.

[ColtsBlueFL]

Exactly.  That is pure guesswork.  But once in the locker room , trainers and doctors can perform many non imaging tests and get a good idea of what is wrong, and an inkling how bad it could be.  For a knee, this could be (as below) -

 

Inspection

Examine for an effusion

Examine for tenderness

Examine range of movement

Examine stability

 MCL and LCL

 The valgus and varus stress tests can be used.

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)

 The anterior drawer test:

 Lachman's test: **

 Pivot shift test:

Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL)

 Posterior drawer test:

 Posterior sag test:

 

It is known early in these whether follow up imaging tests need to be scheduled.

[Malakai432]

Gurley still looks fine. Anderson is a tough guy, young, if it is deemed to be a torn ACL, it's a bad loss for the season but he will be fine next year.

[Stephen]

I guess more winn and geathers.

[needanoline63]

They should get earl okine in there or sign someone

[2006Coltsbestever]

It looks like Adams should be fine with some rest. Lovely time to have a Bye week because Andrew and TY both took some huge hits too.

[JPFolks]

Andersons a beast but the D line seems to be pretty deep at least.

I think the exact opposite is true.

Adams will be fine it looks like. He is a Good player.

[RockThatBlue]

Thought Bowen put on Twitter that Anderson has a knee sprain. Hope that's right.

He'll be okay, just a set back. If he's really as good as he's been, he'll get back to his form. He isn't beasting it up because he's an incredible athlete. He's beasting it up because he plays extremely smart. 

[Shive]

Keep in mind that a D-lineman doesn't put anywhere near the strain on their ACL that a skill player does (if it is the ACL). They don't make sudden cuts all game long, which is how Chapman managed to play half of a season on a torn ACL and was still an animal for Bama. It'll be a huge loss, but far from a career-ending injury.

Also keep in mind that a lot of coming back from an ACL injury is mental and trusting that your body has healed.

[COLTS449]

Man. All you guys that's talking about if its Anderson's ACL then it will affect his career. You guys are trippin. Seriously. If its an ACL then he's done for the year and that sucks as bad as anything could possibly suck, but he'll be back next year and be the same beast he was before. It happens every year. Its not a career altering thing unless your like 40 years old or its just a freak thing. But my gut tells me its not an ACL.
