Sheard out for "some time" with knee injury.

If only another team had a Pro Bowl DE available built to play that position. Too bad it would never happen...seems like kismet.

 

Will be interesting to see how this plays out. If Sheard can't go...Colts probably need another DE after cuts.

I believe he’ll be ready by week 1 I don’t think the injury will keep him out of regular season activities.

 

What is the exact nature of the injury?  Was it a tear?  Sprain?  Muscle pull?  What was the timeline the doctors gave?

It is the knee but that is all that has been said. They just said they still don’t know if he will need surgery. If he doesn’t I think it’s possible he is back by opening game.

A sprain is a tear, so I'm hoping it's a muscle pull or a partial tear (doesn't require surgery). Please no ligament damage, that would linger throughout the year.

I could be wrong but am guessing @J@sonwas being snarky given there has been no update provided to us lay people. So how in the world could the poster he was quoting have access to any info that would lead him to the conclusion that Sheard will be back week 1.

Snarky may not be the word I'd use...though it's not entirely innacurate :D lol

This just makes the signing of Houston and drafting Banogu huge for this defense.

 

Based on what?

He hasn’t had an MRI as of yet 

 

So then on what were you basing your belief that he'll be ready by week 1?

Agreed, I mean they had MRI if there is any structural damage I would think they would said something. So I think he'll be back within a few weeks.

I hope you are wrong about Sheard but agree about the importance of obtaining Houston.  Fingers crossed as Indy will miss his run stopping ability as well as pass rush.

If they thought that the injury was that severe he would’ve had an MRI by now and we would have heard something already. They just said he will miss some time, I take that as he will miss preseason and be ready by week 1.

If he’s had an MRI and we haven’t heard any negative news my argument still stands. 

 

No, it doesn't. He had an MRI, but they said they don't know yet whether he needs surgery or not. Ot sounds like the MRI revealed the nature of the injury, but they need time to determine the best kind of treatment.

So, of course we hope he'll be ready by week1, but as much as we know at the moment, it can be anywhere between a few weeks and an IR designated to return.

If it was something much more serious news would have broken. Every other injury they’ve been transparent about.

    • I like it overall, but I don't think there's a snowballs chance in hell we're drafting Kinchens after his atrocious Combine. With a RAS of 2.27 he's not even a blip on Ballard's radar lol.
    • Sorry late to the party line chat on Page 57 of 94   Skyy Moore, deleted that draft class and notes but Moore seemed to have some potential but wasn't sold on him.  Viewed Moore as an average receiver not much more.  I wouldn't trade for him.   If you were looking to trade for any WR, I would suggest targeting the Packer's Dontayvion Wicks.    As for some of these other comments that I have read up and not going to ready through 30 pages.  Colts spent 200M on most of their own (top NFL) players,    Recent news I saw is that the Colts haven't had any communication talks about trading for Sneed.  How true that is or not to be seen.  Seems the Colts have done a lot spending 200M on their own and doubt we have much cap space left to sign a big-name player like Sneed.  Still haven't seen latest cap space figures since our latest signing.     The Colts build through the draft and those expectations will not change this season.  Again, our organization was lucky enough to sign some of our best positional players.  Sadly, not everyone can get resigned and do expect Blackmon to move on.  Latest rumor is Blackmon signs with the Bills. 
    • The problem is Ballard drafts traitsy raw guys more often than not, so by the time AR is ready we likely won't know if the guys he drafted are IT. That issue then gets compounded by Ballard not using FA to bring in guys who work NOW. THEN if the guys he drafts miss, we'll be waiting another 2-4 years on the next batch... see the problem?   That's fair I guess, but Armstead and Huff were signed for ~$17m/year.   Huff was the 2nd most efficient pass rusher IN THE LEAGUE in 2023 behind only Micah Parson - that's better than Myles Garrett, TJ Watt, Nick Bosa you name 'em. For $17m that's worth taking a shot at, because even if he only produces at a good level he'd still likely be a Jonathan Greenard who signed for $19m. IF he works out though he'd be the bargain of the decade.   Armstead has already played with Buckner and he would be a big upgrade over Grover Stewart for $4m more per year than what we signed Grover for.
    • Great post, thanks.  One of your best.    I think your roster bonus argument crushes my signing bonus argument.   100 percent flattens it.   Like a Quinton Nelson pancake!   I don’t see a counter argument.     Many thanks.          
    • I’d like to focus on one paragraph.   The one about AR working out.   You connect AR working out, which will take 2-4 more years to confirm with “the roster as it is now.”    Thats a flaw.   When we know about AR working out, whether it’s 26, or 27,  that will be connected to the roster that he has THEN, not the roster he has NOW.   See the disconnect?  The roster should be better to support AR.   And I wouldn’t call guys like Luvu or Stone, both guys I like, as shiny toys.  They’re solid players I think we’d all like.  The Sony toys are the four big name plays you listed.  Those guys are just too expensive.
