Status of Devin Funchess?

[BlueCollarColts]

Have we had any update on Funchess? I know he's eligible to return against the Jags, any chance he'll be ready by then? Could really use him with Hilton and Campbell now out also.

Who else would it be? We're basically down to Rogers, Cain, and Pascal.

We need to bring up Chad Williams from P.S., former high round draft pick, college star who started 7 games last season for Arizona.

We will just have to go run heavy.  Put Haeg in as a 6th blocker and use a fullback

Reich sounded pretty optimistic he will be back at practice tomorrow. We will see. As long as he is healthy I imagine he will play against the jags with all our WR issues.

nah, throw it to Nelson, watch the tiny little DBs bounce off of him as he walks it into the endzone...  It'd be like shooting an Abrams tank with BBs

I was at the first 4 days of training  camp and Funchess was nicked up with some type of different injury each day. Obviously the collarbone in game one was a tough break. I hope he is not as fragile as the rest of our receiving corps. We paid a lot of money for him to get 5-6 games from him.

Pascal looked really good last game other two sucked.

It was cramps. Not really any injury. He has barely missed in games his entire career. I think it might be only one before this injury.

Just a very, very, limited vocabulary..

Reich said he is very hopeful DF returns to practice and Ballard mentioned he will be back soon. TY Injjry was a 3 to 4 week injury. Jax would be three weeks. Wouldn’t it be something if we got them both back for the jags. Ballard even mentioned today that TY always comes back a couple weeks before he expects.

[Mr.NotSoCreative]

Get well soon DF. Luckily we still have Ebron, Hines, Pascal, Mack, JD...Still some firepower. D is playing pretty well also. 

[CR91]

With how hurt we are at WR, wouldn't surprise me to see Ebron lined out wide. We need to get him more involved in the offense

and chester who this forum should be cut , 1 td last game

[Hoose]

Wouldn’t surprise me to see a larger role for Hines. He’s been under used all season, especially as a receiver. Time for Reich to dial up some plays for him to juice up to passing game.

Hines. We can do the exact same things with him we did with Campbell.

Anyone have the same feeling about DF as they did with Luck when he had the calf issue that turned into a small bone issue that turned into he is t playing this year? Something is up if he doesn’t practice this week. Surely to god he can get out there with a red no contact jersey on and run routes at the very least. It just smells of more to the story.

100% smells very fishy. I’m not into conspiracy theories, but the speak I’m getting from Reich and Ballard is making me question him returning period. We owe him the 10 million regardless if he plays again, Right?

Seems like it was more than a 10 million $ contract. 12-13??

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

No I don’t think anything is fishy with DF. He can’t play until next week why take snaps away from guys who will play this week. He is veteran so he should be just fine coming back next week.  It was a shoulder so he should of been able to stay in shape. Ballard sounded excited to get him back.  DF has also posted multiple IG stories that indicate he is ready. Stephen Holder mentioned he has been watching practice lately which he hadn’t done since getting injured.

I’m going to listen to Ballard’s most recent interview again, I don’t recall the same perkiness you heard. Here’s the fact, he should be ready to go, we are all excited to get him back.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

It just might be he isn’t completly healthy. It is a little strange I guess he isn’t out running routes or something I guess. I have to go back and read Reichs comments but I think he said they decided to wait until next week. Which does sound like he will.  He did say he still had a few boxes to check. I don’t think anything weird is going on though.

For anyone to go back and read past quotes from this staff is wasting time. They would claim the sky is purple and will change back to blue in 5 days knowing full well the sky isn’t changing colors ever again. This staff doesn’t tell anything that’s credible to occur. I have just learned to turn off any of their comments about players either returning or to their level of play. If we were to believe this group, Lewis would be playing and be a pro bowler with Cain. 

[Dark Superman]

Funchess will need to get back on the practice field before he ever plays in a game.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I went back and watched Reichs presser yesterday and what he said about DF. He mentioned 21 day window. Once they start practicing you only have 21 days to activate them. So I think he wants him fully healthy before practicing.  If there is any  setback where he can’t come back after that 21 days that could keep them out for the year. You don’t want him to have a setback and have to activate him injured and cut a healthy player.   So you want to make sure there is no setback when he does return. Reich also said it doesn’t push anything back for the jags game. If he practices next week we will see how that goes and if he plays. If he doesn’t practice that means he isn’t ready. He could also be running routes and stuff on his own time.
