Looks like the FUNCHESS injury might be serious.

Could turn out to be a very lucrative game for Funchess. 

[ColtStrong2013]

That's tough. Brissett favored him in the preseason and he had 5 targets today including that last one in the end zone. He'd be a big loss on offense if it's major. 

[Fisticuffs111]

My guess was a broken collarbone at first. Either way it seemed serious right from the get go, looked like he couldn't do anything with his arm immediately.

[Imgrandojji]

Ouch.  Please no break

[Colt.45]

Rough break. On the plus side, team is much better equipped to handle it this season.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Could be the same thing that happened to foles. Nick Foles broke his collar bone I believe.

[TheMiz]

Time for Cain to show what he's got

that's what I thought he grabbed at his after he hit the ground.

[krunk]

Hopefully he gets good news.  We need the dude as he's very good at extending drives with that big body.  I've seen no issues with his hands.

i dont want to speculate, but the way he was moving it or trying to reminded me of when Peyton landed on his shoulder/neck.  Hopefully its a stinger and swelling it causing the pain. 

[VaAllDay757]

Funchess is cool but he was brought in mainly for the redzone targets I like cain and campbell more to move the chains

Got to remember that Campbell is a rookie and missed a lot of camp. He needs to get up to speed.

Reich said when we got him he loved him in the slot.

They were subbing receivers and TEs in and out like crazy all game. It felt like they still aren't sure what their favorite packages are, and it probably affected the offense's ability to get into a rhythm. 

 

So if Funchess is out for a while, I think there are plenty of options to help make up for that loss. Cain, Campbell, Ebron, Hines outside, etc. Funchess made some big plays so it's not like he won't be missed, but this team doesn't lack for pass catchers.

Maybe then, they should pick Hogan back up?

He's got the size Funchess brings to the team.

[Nesjan3]

Time to see what our draft picks can do, Campbell and Cain mainly.

I think we already have one too many WRs. We'll see what the prognosis is on Funchess. If it's just a couple weeks, they'll probably stand pat. If it's a long term thing, they still might not add anyone. I really think they have more pass catchers than they know what to do with. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Pascal didn’t return kicks tonight. I think he did play on ST though. He could be the odd man out if we wanted to bring hogan back.

I just hope it's some kind of burner or stinger that can be corrected through manipulation of the muscles and the nerves

Maybe they could go find Hogan if he is still a FA if serious sarcasm.

I think it’s time to make Cain a bigger part of the gameplan.  2 catches on 2 targets.   He needs 5-7 targets minimum.  He can be a 1000 yard receiver in this offense this season.  That back shoulder was perfection. Campbell can also do with more targets.

I was surprised they didn't try to get Campbell and Cain more involved as well. Seems like those are your playmakers that will help take some pressure off #13. T.Y. had a good start to the season today... He had his best offseason, so it's nice to see it translate to a good start. We need him to have a hell of a year.

Eh. Stingers generally don't result in loss of arm use for a drawn out period of time. The fact they x-rayed tells me they are concerned about a break somewhere.

nonsense marquise brown missed a lot of camp to and made an impact. Not to mention reich was talking about how it looked like campbell could play 50 snaps and he gets like 1 target and a running play. Give him the ball in space. Get cain more involved. Brisset can pass for 300 plus yards.

I'm telling you, the way they were subbing receivers en masse all game, it looked like a second grade relay race. If they get a solid four man rotation, I think some of them can get a rhythm going. Especially the young guys.

As hype as he was for campbell it was disappointing he wasn't featured more in the gameplan.

Yeah, probably means he was in pain for more than a few minutes, which probably isn't a stinger.

I was trying to be optimistic

Broken Collarbone. Time timetable recovery time is 4-8 weeks.

[colt18]

He has a broken collarbone

Is that confirmed what his injury is.

Well that stinks. Time for Cain and Campbell to step up.

[GoColts8818]

Well that stinks I thought he had a really good game today, his 4th down play was huge.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Should be back in time for the playoffs...yes i said it

Agree.  They take some time to heal up.  Maybe they should put him on IR and bring him back when he's ready.  Kelly should take his spot on the roster after next week.

Most likely. Then they could bring him back after 8 weeks. I don’t know with surgery I’d that changes.
