Flowers done for season

[IndyEric07]

Ruptured Achilles according to 93.5 the fan radio! Sry dont have a link.

[IinD]

You could clearly see it. He couldn't push his foot downward.

 

Sucks.

[JediXMan]

Had a feeling it was achilles injury this secondary is in trouble.

[FanFromtheWasteland]

Ugh

[cdgacoltsfan]

That's too bad, he was playing pretty good ball. Should be back next season.

[John Waylon]

Well we have plenty of corners to spare…

[Hark]

Tough break for the kid. Hope he heals well. He was having a nice season.

Then we will all gush over Rush! Unless he plays like mush.

Sad break for Flowers.

It just doesn’t have quite the same charm that “suck for Luck” did…

[JlynRN]

Oh man, that sucks for Flowers  I was afraid it was either an ACL or an achilles with it being a non contact injury. Best wishes for Flowers in his recovery and rehab. 

[KB]

He has looked great for a 2nd year undrafted FA. Hope he comes back next year with minimal set backs

ballard has some more, they may be better than flowers

[PRnum1]

Ton of Achilles injuries this season. 

 

I wonder if it's the artificial turf ?

[bestQBever]

Secondary is absolutely scuffed right now. We need Jaylon Jones to come in lol. Ballard and the staff were super high on him, let him play now.

[holeymoley99]

Always like Flowers as a return man lead league last year in KO Ret average. He was learning how to play NFL Defense and improved from 49.5 to 66.4 per PFF. Baker may get another shot, Jones may get the call. Like others here hoping Rush returns...

[Fluke_33]

Flowers will return in the spring. 

[1959Colts]

This guy is saying "Darrell Baker Jr. could see more significant playing time going forward"...

Just before that I think he showed really good closing speed on a ball to the boundary.  We had a roomful.  When they showed the replay we were immediately all like he’s done When a guy goes down like he’s been shot with no one around it’s usually a season ending type of deal

I think it might be over training.  Ruptures do appear to be increasing.  It be interested to know if that’s factual.

 

one thing is certain though these guys put more pressure on this body part than nature intended.

[Nickster]

Silver lining though.  New surgical techniques make the chances of recovery much greater than just a few years ago.

This really sucks.  He was quietly playing really well.

He’s the one who came in when Flowers got hurt Sunday.

Hasn’t the league reduced practice time?

 

Sure is weird though right!

I’m talking work out techniques.  High intensity training is probably leading to tendinitis which makes the Achilles more likely to rupture.

 

Football practices aren’t the junction boys style any more.  These athletes body and conditioning work is done in the gym.

 

[smittywerb]

That sucks.  Hope recovers fast and rehab goes well.

 

bring on Jaylon jones.  I do NOT want to see baker touch the field.  I’m even ok with bringing back rush.

Baker was a healthy scratch for the game, he will at least be on the bench and rotating in now I would have thought.

Jaylon will get a shot to show what he can do though. If he can play well enough, I would imagine that he could keep Baker on the bench. Just a lot to ask of a late round rookie.

[Dunk]

Thought Flowers was playing great.

Hope he heals up quickly and comes back strong next season.

 

Since we seem to be losing corners at an alarming rate, I'm thinking I better start getting in shape.

 

[Scott Pennock]

Unfortunate for Flowers, he was really starting to blossom!!!!!

 

Next man up…..

 

Jaylon Jones. He and Brents on the boundary and Moore in the slot.

 

They just released that Darren Hall kid from the practice squad so I would bet they sign two DB’s this week. One to the active roster and one to the PS!

Very unfortunate, I wonder who the sign to come in and add depth. Greedy is available, could also bring rush back if they sign him off of the Chiefs PS.

Love it!

 

unless of course he is an “annual” and not a “perennial”..then he wont return.

https://www.stampedeblue.com/2023/10/3/23902216/gus-bradley-plans-to-rotate-secondary-flowers-suffers-achilles-tear

 

Gus Bradley plans to rotate secondary

 

...Los Angeles converted 27 first downs, second-most behind San Francisco (30) in Week 4. Rams rookie receiver Puka Nacua cooked the Colts with nine receptions on 10 targets for 163 receiving yards and the game-winning touchdown in OT.

 

The Colts’ secondary had a critical lapse of miscommunication on the final play of Sunday’s loss as Kenny Moore II signaled rookie cornerback Juju Brents to roll with Nacua’s route post-snap, but it was too late. Stafford found Nacua wide open for a 22-yard touchdown to secure a walk-off 29-23 victory on the road. Nacua accounted for six of the Rams’ 10 longest plays from the Week 4 victory and seven of his nine catches were against zone coverage...

 

 ...During Tuesday’s coordinator zoom meeting, defensive coordinator Gus Bradley mentioned Darrell Baker Jr. and rookie seventh-round draft pick Jaylon Jones will rotate as the third CB in Week 5 against Tennessee...

 

... With the indefinite loss of Flowers, Bradley has not ruled out the option to move Moore back outside the numbers.

“I think you will see Kenny (Moore II) playing both still,” Bradley said. “He will play inside and he will play outside.”
