Henry Anderson suffered a fractured larynx Sunday

How the heck did that even happen? Sounds ridiculously painful though.

A laryngeal fracture is in the larynx, so the threat region. It can be life threatening, so at least he is ok. Will be placed on IR however. 

 

This saddens me. It was great to see him start playing the way we had. Get well.

Sadly, I can.  It really seems that the Colts and Packers are truly hexed when it comes to injuries, year in and year out.

Based on their stats, Allen and Dorsett have plenty of time to put pins in Touchdown Monkey

If you're a Colt and you have a pulse, you invariably end up on IR.

And if you don't have a pulse, you're already on IR.

I know, I've never heard of anything like that before.  Pretty terrifying

Getting punched in the throat will do it.  Worst case scenario is an emergency airway created on the field. Fortunately, that apparently wasn’t necessary, but still corrective action is. Get well Henry.

Would like to see the play this happened seems like more of a freak injury that of the injury prone 

 

Freak injury whether he is injury-prone or not because laryngeal fractures are very rare.

His best season was his rookie year, IMO. Though he has played well the last 3-4 games or so this year.

 

Wonder if the Colts cut him this offseason since he may be injury prone now. Sucks.

 

I don't think this makes him "injury prone".  If he kept having the same issue with the same body part (repeated ACL tears or something like that) then maybe.

I`m really convinced there's something in the water in Indy. A number of injuries in Indy have been a trend for years. You can`t make this stuff up.

This is what they mean by saying, "*Excrement flows down"....I hope he gets well soon...really sad.

[dgambill]

That sounds like one of the most painful injuries I could think of. Probably hurt everytime he swallows....yikes. Get well soon Henry!

[will426]

That potential just seems to be dwindling

How about last year and the year before that , etc. This has been going on for years and contrary to popular opinion it happens to the Colts at a higher clip than most every other team.

I know fellas,  this year just seems to be particularly bad.... and they are one after another.  Maybe it is because our franchise QB is out and has been in and out the past few years.  Something we are not used to.  

 

Someone gets hurt and if they are able to stay off IR well then when they come back it seems someone else gets hurt.

 

Bray doesn't bother me so much, but the nuts and bolts guys like HA is devastating.

Larynx? Is that part of the throat?

 

The larynx is suspended by the hyoid bone. 

 

 

The back bone connected to the neck bone, The neck bone connected to the head bone.....

 

Get well Henry!

When did it happen? Both Anderson and Bray seemed fine after the game.

[Lawrence Owen]

Doesnt' Henry use a full cage? cause i thought those were supposed to limit availablity to the throat.  oh, well, sucks.  Hope Henry can breath, eat/drink alright.

On a side note, all the changes to prevent this injury streak seems to have done nothing.  Full contact practices, new medical team, ect.

[Sumo63]

Ouch......just ouch......didnt even know this was possible.

 

P.s. don't Google it,  I did a deep dive, it got grizzly....
