Just saw this on Twitter, huge blow man. What was the extent of the injury? Just when it seems we are getting healthy another player goes down.

[TKnight24]

 

[PeterBowman]

Was literally just about to post it this.

[PrincetonTiger]

Wow

[TKnight24]

 

[Bravo]

Wasn’t he known to be pretty dang healthy throughout his career so far? Sucks for him and the Colts!

[NewColtsFan]

When it comes to the Colts and injuries...

 

When it rains it pours...    (Sigh...)

 

[The Fish]

What the? What happened? 

That's not good news at all. 

 

The injuries are eroding this squad in a major way.

 

[PrincetonTiger]

Boehm was a 2017 starter in Arizona

He missed much of last season 

[SteelCityColt]

Well damn! 

 

Will we ever have 5 starters on the line start back to back games?

[Luck 4 president]

Must’ve happened in practice. Now we need Good and Smith to step up and stay healthy

[Trueman]

lol... well , for * sakes. 

Welcome Evan Boehm, I've never heard of you. 



 

[MB-ColtsFan]

Honestly, as a Colts fan, I've stopped being surprised.  I just hang my head and wait for the next man to drop.  I just feel so defeated.  It's beyond laughable at this point.

  He was a Missouri Tiger and Cardinal DP and OL starter

[NorthernBlue]

Man forget winning I just want to freaking watch our team play. Like, our starters and all. That way I can actually tell who/where we are.

 

So annoying and unlucky. Slauson was doing decent. Next man up I guess.

It could be a lot worse

   Jax lost Corey Grant and ASJ Sunday

[USAFHoosier]

If Costanzo is back this week I take it Clark goes to RT and Smith goes to RG. Might as well put him in the spot he was drafted to take over eventually.

I’m already in tank mode mindset 

 

And it’s sad cause the AFC South is open really 

 

But even if the Colts win the division, doubt they get past KC, NE or Pit so just go get the high draft pick

He started 111 of 114 games played but was placed on the IR after week 7 last year

Agreed

[PrincetonTiger]

Friendly reminder from TigerTown   

  Slausson was signed on a one year contract as a “seat filler” until Smith was ready

[Mr.Debonair]

Well Smith can move to his natural position now, even though he played pretty well at RT 

[John Waylon]

Interesting. Doesn’t sound injury related, honestly. 

[WarGhost21]

Let’s just play it safe and not play anyone important this season anymore. Joking, of course, but seriously, I don’t remember ever seeing the injury bug hit this hard before!

So in March Ballard knew that he was going to draft Smith in the 2nd round in April and that he would need someone to fill in for him until he was ready?

Unfortunately they'll probably get hurt as well.. Lol.

 

We're snakebit it seems.

[TonyHose]

Any thoughts on taking a risk on Flowers when the Giants release him?

No way. Have watched most Giants games. He's a trainwreck 

[TonyHose]

Was just curious, a change of scenery ya know

I wouldn’t be against it

Everyone is injury free until they cash checks from Irsay

After Norwell not coming here and questions with Mewhort he knew he had to draft at least one OG outside of the 1st Round 

   So maybe not Smith but a young guard in need of mentoring that Slausson provide

You just can’t make this stuff up with the Colts! I’m convinced there is something in the Indy water.

The same thing is happening everywhere

   Jax lost 2 this weekend

   Philadelphia lost Jay Ajayi

   KC lost Justin Houston for multiple weeks

 

     Slausson is only the 4th player to be placed on the IR during the season

[RollerColt]

We can’t catch a break with these injuries. 

 

Soon next man up will mean next man off the streets.
