DL Tyquan Lewis set to miss time [Merge]

[MTC]

 

A possible candidate to be placed on IR with a designation to return. 

 

[TKnight24]

 

 

[SteelCityColt]

Candidate for boomerang IR you’d think?

[PrincetonTiger]

PUP List?

[stitches]

That's bad. I hate injuries. Half of our draft class has been injured and we expected a lot from them, especially the early picks... considering we didn't go the free agency route. 

[Semicolt]

Definitely IR , 9 weeks usually turns out to be longer!

[1959Colts]

First Cain, now Lewis.

Building through the draft is a good concept, if the small group of players you draft can get on the field.

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

Wow thats a while, I think you got to IR him. Whats wrong with his foot. Broken bone?

[Fisticuffs111]

Yeah, seemed like this was coming when the only thing they'd say about recently was that they hoped to have him back sometime this season. That's too bad.

[Pacergeek]

Was Lewis injury prone in college? This is disappointing. If you are going to put all of your eggs into the draft basket, you cannot continue whiffing on high draft picks

Someone getting injured isn’t whiffing on a draft pick. Derius Guice is also on IR with a torn ACL for the Redskins. Did they whif on him? Injuries to draft picks are part of the game. Every year a high profile draft pick goes on IR before the season starts.

not eligible

[Dark Superman]

9 weeks? Wow. Put him on the PUP list with the designated to return.

You appear at times to be completely dumbstruck by your reputation as troll.  Guessing that is just an act though as you know it yourself.

 

But just in case, let me clue you in - it's because of complete nonsense like the post above.

He is not PUP eligible.  If he was he would already be there.

Couldn't you say the same thing about free agency?  It doesn't matter where you get new players you cannot afford to miss on many of them.  And yes - many free agents don't end up playing up to the expectations based on what they cost.

[Yoshinator]

I would see if we can trade for Shane Ray at this point if he's willing to sign a new contract. We can't buy or draft a d-line. Maybe we can trade for one lol. I'm just going through the motions at this point with this draft class. Getting worse by the day. Just wish the season would start.

Please.  Nearly everybody considers Khaled Holmes and Hugh Thornton to be whiffs, and they were always injured.  And Mewhort now often gets put inot the "draft failure" bucket because injuries kept him off the field.  

 

Not to mention the Gosder Cherilous signing and Polian's Anthony Gonzalez pick.

 

Its part of the game, but appears to be selectively applied.

[DougDew]

Just a bit of info to file away for future consideration:

 

We traded up from the 3rd round to get Lewis at the bottom of the second.  So it wouldn't be unfair down the road to compare the success of that trade to the trade up for TY Hilton, which was basically the same trade (not sure what we gave up)

Except that almost all of Ballards higher round picks get injured, or suck.

 

His drafting has not been impressive in 2 seasons.

You're juuussst a tad preemptive there. We're not even to the 4th preseason game on this year's draft. 

[Luck 4 president]

That’s too bad. He was a reach anyway (like the rest of our 2nd round) and would’ve only got situational playing time

[shasta519]

Likely just IR him. Not sure the Colts would the designation to return on him. But we will see what happens after tonight’s game and what the injury situation looks like.

Yeah, because Ballard can control guys getting injured.

But we traded into the end of the 3rd round to get Hilton, not the 2nd.

Ah, okay.  I was thinking we didn't give up the 3rd, that went for DA.  So we must have given up the first pick of the 4th and something else to move up a few slots to secure TY.

Ballard has successfully sold his vision to the fans, that the best way to build a future winner is through the draft. When you are going in this direction, not even trying to fill holes with FA, you cannot draft busts or injury prone players in the early rounds.

Whiffing?  Seriously?

Hines is really the only guy we can question at this time based on the very limited action.

lets give this draft some time before we declare it a whiff or a success.

  I hope you arent involved in the stock market.

The overreaction to this stuff is making my brain hurt.

[Hoose]

Too bad about Lewis. But this is part of the NFL. It’s certainly not a reflection of Ballard’s ability to draft. Only with the passage of time can the last 2 drafts be graded. The Ballard haters need to take a deep, deep breath. 

[IinD]

That sucks. Definitely a setback for the rookie.... And us as a team.

To call someone a Ballard hater is extreme, just like calling some players a "bust" at this point.

 

Or calling a player a "steal" during the entire summer rookie offseason after being drafted #15 overall.

 

Extremism lies everywhere, it seems.

i thought we only get one or two return designations 

 

lewis may not be worth one

Only have 1 player on the IR right now who was expected to make the final 53

that will probably change by the deadline

 

way too soon to even think about using it on lewis

Maybe. But Cain is for sure out for the year. We get two and I think the deadline is September 1...

There is not a “designated list” anymore

   A Team can remove 2 players from the IR if a player has been on Injured Reserve for at least 8 Weeks
