Smith to Covid List

[Bravo]

 

NOT GREAT....

 

 

[AKB]

not good. 

[JediXMan]

Worst timing possible why couldn’t this happen next week ugh.

[Dark Superman]

Now we have to listen to the announcers on Sunday blow their loads all over TJ Watt like he's a God and pretend he's not playing against a 3rd string tackle who sucks *.

[JediXMan]

Buckner, Autry and Bobby out the week we face Henry.  Braden Smith out the week we face TJ Watt. Such % luck man smh.

[CamMo]

[GoColts8818]

Ugh...this team has no luck.  Please no Andrew jokes.

[Shadow_Creek]

[NewColtsFan]

Damn!    

[richard pallo]

That's three players lost to Covid in the last three days and we still have Saturday and maybe Sunday to go.  This is not trending well.

I wonder if Nelson moves to RT

I would be shocked.  We have backup players that should be able to fill in and be fine. Certainly not as good as the starter but we should be able to deal with it.

I'd say no chance of that happening. Just like when we didn't move Smith to LT, it's just not a good idea to flip someone to the opposite side of the OL.

Will Holden from the Ravens is listed as the second string RT.

I’d doubt it with this short of notice.  Remember Hunt who replaced him at left guard is on the COVID list too.

Well...   the normal backup is Clark, and he’s out for the year 

 

So the apparent new backup is Will Holden who we recently plucked off Baltimore’s PS.   Or, maybe Pinter gets a look at RT?

 

Either way,  you still feelin fine about it?

Pinter at LG between AC and Kelly would be better then Will holden vs TJ Watt

[JediXMan]

Let’s see what we got in Will Holden. Ravens fans were upset we signed him off their practice squad.

[danlhart87]

Next man up 

[Stephen]

Can never face the Steelers  at 100 percent 

[w87r]

AC is questionable as well.

Depends on how comfortable they are with it including Nelson sliding over to right tackle.  The Colts said they practiced that lineup some before the Raiders game.  With today being Friday normally the last practice day of the week I don’t know if they have practiced this line up or not.  If they haven’t I wouldn’t say for a fact it’s better.  Players being out of position and not comfortable can destroy a line real fast.

I hope Pinter gets the call, really like the kid and he can play 4 of the 5 O line spots..

New ankle injury plus still his knee

If he played the last two weeks I expect him to play this week.

I do too, but its not just his knee, he has a new ankle injury

[NannyMcafee]

This always happening with the most important games.

Not ideal but I still expect him to give it a go.  It’s that time of year where everyone is hurt.  I will say this is a stronger case for NOT moving Nelson to right tackle.

Either way I feel certain we are sitting  at home in January  if we lose this game.

Not me.  I really get the feeling we are in the midst of a special season.  Regardless of this game I think we make the playoffs and go on a serious run.

Of course. Right when we play TJ Watt. Figures it’s 2020

[danlhart87]

In Ballard I trust 

Bring that next man in 

 

Dominate 

[B~Town]

Did he test positive or is it close contact.

Haven't heard yet.

[richard pallo]

One starter is not going to change the outcome.  They are missing starters as well.  The best team should win and that still is the Colts IMO. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

We are done. Steelers will get right this game. Watt is going to feast on rivers. We better hope AC can go with that new ankle injury. I was actually expecting this will smith because in his zoom presser the other day he could barely talk. He had a very horse voice. We better pray hard raiders win. What bad luck in two of the most important games.
