Hopefully some of the injured can play this week.

Throws tomato...No TY or Jack..

It’s unfortunate that he has the injury with his neck, but it’s time to move on from Clayton Geathers. A neck injury isn’t anything to play around with. It seems he’s nicked up after every game with something.

[Bravo]

 

Might be time to move on for both. Sucks to see. Appreciate what Geathers has tried to do.

[TKnight24]

Just gotta roll with Farley/Mitchell until the off-season 

 

Draft a new safety, or sign one. But Geathers is done 

[MB-ColtsFan]

Looks like we'll see more of the Hooker Farley combo.  I think I'm stating to give up on Geathers, as much as I'd like to see him on the field.

[Valpo2004]

Slauson is in his 30's and broke 2 vertibre.  His career might be over.  Geather's neck is hurt again. . . his career could be over too.

 

2 potentially career ending injuries in one game.

Slauson only had a 1 year contract anyways.  Even if he stayed healthy he probably wouldn't be back in Indy next year.

Toss in Mewhort and we have the trifecta for the season.

Come to Indy to not only go on IR, but entirely end your career!!

Should be great as a signing slogan.

[PeterBowman]

Slausons one tough sob that's for sure.

Agree.  I just have to think that he was playing for a new contract for next year, considering he was hurt part of last year as well(?).  He obviously didn't know the extent of the injury as per his quote of regret.  Not doubting his toughness, but I doubt he would have played as long had he known.

[krunk]

Yeah geathers is done

[TKnight24]

Kendall Langford & Matt Slauson definitely highlight the list of players who were pretty healthy/reliable guys that then went to Indianapolis and became injured/injury prone

So, Geathers hurts his neck, that may or may not end his career, on a play where the other player lowers his helmet and no flag was thrown......Where's that new rule that is all about player safety at?  Good thing they got that flag out of their pocket when Brady got slapped in the helmet.......he could have been a paraplegic if it wasn't thrown.

Yeah, I doubt he'll ever be the same.  Even if he managed to come back healthy, the question would be how long.  I think his career is done.  I for sure done with him.  As much as I like him, it's time to move on.

[pgt_rob]

I honestly feel bad for Geathers. He is a tough hard hitting player that we need. If this was my 2nd neck injury I would definitely consider retiring because health in more important. Even after his 1st one would be a scare. Whew. He's played well, he's made some money in the NFL, health should be priority #1.

[aaron11]

no ty or doyle is going to hurt in the jets game.  we lose our only real deep threat and possession receiver, plus we dont run it well

 

not a good combo lol

He also had a promising young rookie who almost won the starting job breathing down his neck. That also played into it I believe.

[MTC]

I am a bit concerned that Geathers will never play another snap of football. The amount of neck injuries he has collected over time is something that needs to be addressed. I wish him well.

[IinD]

Doyle is starting to freak me out a bit also. The hip is a messed up injury. Ask D.Allen.

[Four2itus]

Sorry you stayed in the game, Matt. Hope others listen to what you said. It's a game, but your back is your life.

Although I jokingly agree with your statement, Slauson has ended the year on IR the last two seasons.

Meh....we will be ok without Doyle so long as Reich plays Ebron and Swoope.    Let him take his time and heal up.  Who we really need back is T.Y. and Mack.  Our offense is hurting without those two guys on the field.

Sad about Geathers. He wasn’t doing too much this year though.  Looked weak against New England...got trucked by Sony Michael. Smh

 

 I am content to roll with my boy Farley at this point.  At least I know that dude is ready, willing and able to hit somebody this season.

So is your neck. What a gut blow. Hope the best to both of them. Just feel bad for them going out like this.

[shasta519]

Doyle is still week to week? Wonder if we might not see him again this season...especially if we start hearing about any setbacks.

 

 

[LockeDown]

Football is a young mans game.  The only way the Colts can win is if we eternally keep young fresh guys coming in. Sheesh

[Barry Sears]

It's so tough building a roster when you have so many injuries piling up each week.  Sure, some guys get more playing time, which will benefit later, but there's little to no chance of building any continuity in any of your units at LB, OL, DB, etc.  Ballard has a tough job just to fill a healthy roster each week in order to be competitive.

 

All the pre-season concern about Luck's health has been answered, but we have 15 other guys dealing with health issues now and some may be career ending.  Been a tough season to watch, but I credit Ballard and to coaches for having us being competitive each week with a chance to win.

Ehh my impression was Mewhort's injuries where well before this year and his time in camp this year just sort of confirmed for him that the injuries have robbed him of his ability to play at this level.  

[CR91]

its a real shame about Geathers. I really do like what he brings to the defense. A lot of physical play and toughness. I wish him well 

[IndyD4U]

Yeah, Geather's just needs to go ahead and hang them up. It's not worth it

[jameszeigler834]

No TY = another loss if these recievers they have haven't gotten rid of the chronic drops disease they seemed to have last game.
