Dulin out for the year.

Ouch. That's going to hurt.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Am I the only one who doesn’t think losing Dulin is a big deal. The WR depth has looked really good in camp.

[krunk]

It kept feeling like something was wrong. Now we know.

He's important on STs. He's our best gunner

[Solid84]

I feel sorry for the kid. He's fought for a place on the team. Hope to see him ready and fully recovered next season!

I kinda agree, it won't be WR that feels this as much as it will be ST.  

 

That said, it opens up WR 5, AND 6.....  and we'll see who can be a gunner on ST

Sucks for Dulin.....but what the heck happened to Breshad Perriman....we signed him, and I never heard another word on him?

Probably. He's a very good and important special teamer.

You can find good ST anywhere. That’s why I think his multi year deal was kind of silly. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

The new special teams rules on kickoffs probably makes a gunner even less important.

Gunner is more for punts

Don’t the new rules apply to punts too?

I am not in agreement with you. Dulin is a very good player. Strong, fast and a real good blocker. Top ST player as well. Although we seem to have a bit of depth, he will be missed.

I suppose it does give some of the other receivers an opportunity that they might not have had otherwise.

I believe it's only for kickoffs, but I could be wrong.

To Me he has been pretty invisible in camp. Heard much more about the others we have at depth.

The way I had it figured... Pittman, Pierce, Downs, McKenzie and Dulin were locks to make the team. Leaving only one spot left (assuming the Colts carry 6 wrs?) Fighting for that last spot would be: Strachen, Rogers, Perriman, Smith, Turner etc...

Now there will be 2 available spots.

However, I believe there have been times when the Colts have gone with only 5 WRs in the past?

Also, I wouldn't rule out another player be picked up after cuts.

We might end up keeping more tight ends now.

...Yeah, only if our existing TE group ever gets healed up from injuries

Fries went down?     Sorry, I missed that?    With what?    How serious?    When is he expected back?     
 

Thanks for any info you can share.

Calf

[Defjamz26]

Yeah that’s a blow to the ST unit. This likely means that Amari Rogers and Strachan both make the final 53.

Apparently a calf injury, but severity is unknown at the moment. Likely not a season ender since we haven’t brought anyone in.

I still don't think we're keeping 6 WRs if we're keeping 4 TEs

I read where he was replaced by Arlington Hambright with the #1s...

Hambright is listed as a G, although he played really well at LT against Buffalo last week.

a name to watch for.

6 Mckenzie  as him and downs have similar  skillset and need both incase one gets hurt

Yeah, I have to think McKenzie makes the team. He may also end up our return man

Between Mckenzie,  amari rodgers, and flowers. Hopefully  they keep downs away from returns

Not sure what value Strachan  adds but I know Mckenzie  will be on than and rodgers may be as well
