Ty to play

[csmopar]

Just saw on nfl website, TY will play today 

[Ratking]

Not sure how I feel about him playing. I was hoping they would rest him... Colts have little to no chance of winning tonight... I would hate to see Ty hurt himself more seriously by rushing to return to a game in which the Colts are going to get destroyed in anyways. I was hoping Ty would play after the bye week so he could heal up more. 

[Imgrandojji]

I also have mixed feelings, but if TY were willing to sit on the sidelines when the team was trying to fight uphill, I'd probably think less of him

[DEColtsLover36]

I appreciate the fight from TY and can understand the desperation to have him in to elevate our chances but... at the same time this scares me a bit.

If he is ready to play he should play. No sitting just because you have a bye week. If there is no chance of tearing it he should go. It’s been two weeks since he played. He should be fine. The only way we even have a chance is if he plays and we score 35 to 40 pts.

[Four2itus]

I believe he is being paid to play football. If he is ready to go, why on earth would he sit?

[Goatface Killah]

There are people in the stands who pay a lot of money to watch these guys play. If you are healthy, you should play and put on the best show you can, for them. 

 

You also never count a game as a loss beforehand. Every game is winnable. And every loss isnt a setback.

 

We need to play well tonight, win or lose. Losing the game 31-28 is a much different lesson than losing it 45-3. So you put your best team on the field and go for it.

Gear news! Any word on Mack?

[TrueBlue4ever]

We need to avoid 3 and outs all day offensively.

Let’s go Buffalo, Carolina and Atlanta!!!

Mack was a full go at practice Friday. If he was still hurting bad he would of been limited. I expect him to go. Hopefully he will be able to go the entire game.

Josh Allen got the clear to play so I hope they can win. Carolina has a good defense. I think the Texans have the biggest chance to win because it’s at home and the falcons are so bad. Then the Texans have the chiefs next week.

he is listed as game time decision  

[stitches]

Hopefully he's fully healed. Those muscle injuries can get worse if not well healed.

If it will help TY to set two weeks to get healthy then do it.  It is not worth risking TY making his injury worst.  We will need him after the bye more than one game today.

Who said he can make it worse. If there was any risk of that he probably wouldn’t play. If he aggravates it tonight he has two weeks to fix it.

Thank you Dr. Chloe6124 for be all knowing. 

[LockeDown]

Hopefully, we’ll be playing our new rival tonight.  Chiefs (my brothers fav team) and Colts.....would make a much better rivalry imo than the Pats.

I agree with Chloe. I can't think they'd let TY out there if there was any serious risk of reinjuring himself.

Agreed, if they are really in good physical shape to perform. (Not impaired by injury).

Apparently, he is at least close enough to be cleared to go.  Waiting 2 more weeks might be too conservative and unnecessary in that case.  This is typical stance on quad injuries.

 

"The goal is to restore normal range of motion, strength, and function. Return-to-play decisions should be individualized and based on multiple factors, including the athlete's degree of injury and level of activity.

 

Return to play may be advised after a patient achieves range of motion symmetrical with that on the contralateral side, isokinetic quadriceps strength within 15% of that on the contralateral side, and completion of a functional training program.18 The athlete should be observed while sprinting straight forward and while changing direction (eg, figure-of-eight) without pain or limitation. In addition, the athlete’s playing position and the time of season (ie, preseason vs play-offs) may be considered in individual return-to-play decisions."

 

I do hope that he can go the whole game tonight.

TY has taken it on himself to be a major leader of this team over the past few years.  He showed us how tough he is last year.... I really hope he doesn't aggravate his quad, but I don't think he'd be going out there if there was considerable chance of that happening..  

 

I think TY is, at least in part, playing today to show the younger guys on the team that he's got grit and they can count on him to help lead this team. 

[IinD]

Do your thing tonight TY.

 

Hopefully we come out with a W tonight.

Not really.  You play to have the best possible outcome each season.  Last year we showed should have gone foe a tie in one game.

 

There are degrees of ready to go.  For example, how many times have you heard, If it was a play off game he would have played?  The answer is a lot.

2 out 3 go our way. 

 

Oakland looks for real too. 

 

Let’s tee it up!

[EastStreet]

I expect to see him doubled a bunch like last year. We have many more weapons/targets this year, but I'd bet KC is banking on JB's over dependence on TY and his struggles in read progressions. 

 

If he's playing, and is doubled a lot, I hope Reich uses him as a decoy and runs plays that have 1st reads that aren't to TY.

The players disagree with you.

Then the conclusion is TY is hurt fairly badly, but the Colts are treating this like a playoff game, or TY's quad isn't as bad as everyone thinks it is.

Not all players disagree and most of them play to get paid.  For the love of the game?
