If he has to miss time not many vets out there to back up Eason/ Sam winner. Blake Bortles best of a shaky lot, Ryan Finley ...ugh, Brett Hundley ...no thanks, Matt Barkley....pass

Can you imagine. Foles has to save him again from injury. Lol. 
 

I would just ride with eason. He knows the play book and has developed bonds with team mates.

I don't see any way that we bring Foles in. That would be the biggest slap in the face to Wentz. I think we roll with Eason if Wentz can't go and maybe bring in a vet backup behind him.

Not trying to speculate but if he had a mri this morning seems to me they might of saw a broken bone in the foot with X-ray  and doing more testing to see how bad it is. 

[EastStreet]

My thoughts as they appeared in my lunatic fringe mind....

 

1. well maybe we'll have a 1st round pick next year
2. did Rivers start that HS job yet?
3. Reich gets yet another year with a good "excuse"
4. unlock the Swag
5. perhaps it's time for Minshew. Nothing like 70s porn football

[John Waylon]

Me when they start saying “He’ll be ready by week 1”:

 

[AKB]

My take: 

 

Wentz will miss just enough games this season for that pick to be a number 2 next year. Don't look too far into it okay? Why do you think they took another QB this year? They knew we'd need 3.

No if he had a X-ray it would have shown a broken bone . The mri is for ligaments more then bones . 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

This was just posted in Keefers new story. 
 

 

But the sense was clear: this isn’t going to just keep Wentz out a day or two. This could be something more.

The team was not ready to put a timetable on a potential return, instead preferring to get more information on what exactly the injury is.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I think I am going to cuss.

 

 

[ReMeDy]

Maybe Eason will be the next Tom Brady and we can all laugh about this situation 10 years from now when we've won 3+ Superbowls.

[Four2itus]

Well, I will assume this is not a season ending thing, much less a career thing. That's how I'm rolling.

 

That said, the Colts can go two ways if Wentz is not under center game one. Part of me wants a capable vet, but a bigger part of me wants to see what the 3 backups have when the pressure is on. It's still my team, and I am looking forward to the season regardless.

 

This is a classic example of why I don't hang my hopes onto a SB or bust train. I enjoy each season for it's uniqueness.

Not trying to speculate, and then you turn right around and speculate.           

[PRnum1]

A broken bone will heal far faster than ligament damage.

I'm not trying to speculate, but here's my speculation.

 

BTW, it's a board... it's OK to speculate. Just don't start your post with "not trying to speculate" lol

[DougDew]

Maybe the continual ongoing rehab from lower body pain will cause him to retire just before the season starts.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

This is some good news. Could be worse. Except we have a hard start to the season.

Kelly elbow  injury seems like an afterthought now. Can’t we ever just have a boring TC like most teams.

So he should wait and not get the surgery.  then when they realize he isn't healing he can get the surgery.

 

Have I heard that before?

[EastStreet]

Pinter hiking to Eason in week 1.......

 

Let's go! Get excited!

[PRnum1]

Were the Colts practicing on Artificial Turf or grass ?

That is probably why he is seeing the door doctor. To determine what is the best moving forward.

 
Hw needs all these reps in TC. Nor expecting much to start the season. Eason will get some valuabe reps but Carson needed those.

Grass. 

As long as their not practicing on crack, I'm fine.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

This sums up things perfect. Makes me want to cry.

 

 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

The colts can’t have one damn offseason with no drama.

[Smoke317]

Carson about to get Wally Pipp’d.      Again…     Eason gonna pull a Foles/Brady and ball out.

No offense, but drama is a personal choice.

And it’s not even August yet. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I was just watching a ortho doc explaining what his injury could be. I will see if I can find it. It ranges from missing anywhere from 2 weeks to 8 weeks. 
 One game is too many because that means he also misses all of training camp. Plus we have a very hard schedule.

 

 

[#12.]

Bout to see some 70s football - run the ball and let Eason take 5-6 shots a game.  Terry Bradshaw would approve.

I was just trying to understand how he injured himself.

 

I've seen in the past where QB's plant their plant foot (back foot) too hard into artificial turf and the turf doesn't give so an injury happens.

 

If you do that on grass the grass gives away and you kick out a huge clump of grass.

 

I don't believe he was tackled all TC so it doesn't make any sense.

Snowboarding maybe?

[stitches]

Well that's less than ideal   Doesn't sound great. 

 

#EasonSeason?

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I don’t know if Zak means regular season or back at camp in a few weeks. Maybe he means if surgury isn’t necessary.
