Kendall Langford Out

[CanuckColtsFan]

As per a tweet by Zak Keefer

 

Colts could realistically be without their three best defensive linemen for Week 1 vs. Lions.

When will it stop raining?

[Bluefire4]

He's out 3-4 weeks so hopefully he is ready week 1. The person who said he had a bad feeling about this injury was right.

[BCoop]

So Henry, Art, and Langford now out week1 at least? Did I hear somewhere Kerr was banged up too? Luckily, it's the Lions.

[CheezyColt]

So are we looking at Kerr/Parry/Ridgeway(or McGill) then?

I actually thought it was going to be a lot worse, hate that he's injured but glad its just a month. Hopefully he's back by week 1.

The lions went 6-2 in their last 8 games. I wouldn't write them off. This is very bad news.

[NorthernBlue]

Can't catch a break, eh? Looks like that week one match up isn't gonna be as easy as people thought, huh?

[krunk]

He had a knee scope so I could see it going a little longer than 3-4 weeks too.

[krunk]

Going to really have to anchor down to get that win in Week 1

[krunk]

Reasonable chance he could be back by Week 1, but with a knee you never know.

The combined record for those 7 teams (played GB twice) was 49-63. Plus they lost their biggest playmaker in Calvin. They will still need to figure out how to replace that and I don't see it happening week 1 on the road.

[krunk]

We could also look at playing Earl Okine more at the DE spot for the Detroit game.

Johnson isn't there anymore

[Boiler_Colt]

I could see them bringing in another FA DL now.

[Indyfan4life]

Hopefully he's only out preseason and is back by week 1. Week 2 at the latest.

Langford has never missed an NFL game, as he has played in 128 straight games to begin his NFL career. Pagano pointed to that “ironman” streak today when asked whether Langford will play in the season opener, adding “I’m counting on it.”http://www.stampedeblue.com/2016/8/9/12412434/colts-defensive-end-kendall-langford-out-3-4-weeks-after-having-knee-scoped

Next man up. I sure do hope the 2nd team lineman fill in well or Grigson signs some quick help.

Well that's promising. I hope he makes it back. I still think we can beat the Lions but that line would be underwhelming.

I thought it was going to be way worse as well. I read he was out for 3-4 weeks and assumed it was 3-4 weeks into the regular season. Happy that it's not quite that serious! If he doesn't play week one, hopefully our offense will be efficient enough to give us the W despite the injured D line.

[backshoulderfade]

If Henry is back for week 1, it will be exciting to see him at his preffered position more.

This new strength and conditioning staff are not off to a good start

Think Art got a suspension... Runs in the family...

For PED use. Sucks we're without 3 starters for a little bit though.

We should consider megatro a stats which I don't know what they are. 

[IndyD4U]

I like our depth at DL...didn't want to test it this early in the season, but nonetheless....

Yes,  Because they can prevent injuries

[AustexColt]

First week of pads and then you get Ryan and now Langford down. I am of the belief that if they get hurt in the preseason they are hurt and severely diminished for the season. They should not be counted on for the season and plans should begin ASAP to get another player in their place. Keep them as a backup depth chart. I think Blythe should take Ryan's place. For Langford, we need to go the FA and wire. As for Art Jones.. count him missing in action. He is over the hill. Ravens Ozzie Newsome got the better of Grigson/Pagano.

[weslo1812]

Well that's great!!! Not supprising though...that's just how our luck rolls. Every year we have to have a nice laundry list of injuries before the season starts. It's basically a norm for us unfortunately, and sadly its something I've just come to expect now.

[The Lucky Neck Beard]

I don't like the injury... but it does give some additional playing time to those that might not otherwise get the chance in preseason...

Strength and conditioning can't really prevent a knee scope. It's a cartilage thing, so it's probably been a lingering issue that started before the new staff was even hired.

A guy that misses 5 days of camp practice can't be counted on for the regular season? He's already back in action today, why would you want to replace him with 7th rounder that's realistically about a year away from being NFL ready?

True, but it's also going to play into the final cuts.  We already had Art out for a month and Anderson may not be 100%.  So you'd think they'd carry one more additional D-Lineman than originally planned.  Now they may have to carry two.

LOL!  I'm sure you're trolling, but in case you're not - you realize there's 'hurt' and then there's 'hurt'?

 

 

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

Not great news but certainly could be worse!! I do highly doubt he is ready for week 1 though.

[Dudley Smith]

Colts should still win the Lions game even without Langford and the other two. Granted a lot of this is banking on Luck coming back and looking like himself and not the guy who played hurt in seven (?) games last year.

I wasn't really blaming them. More like a nudge against them.

[SilentHill]

People need to RELAX. On twitter almost every Colts analyst was doing the equivalent of sitting in the fetal position sucking their thumbs and crying that Langford will probably miss the rest of training camp. It's not that big of a deal.
