My immediate guess is there is not good news on Braden Smith

 

Maybe not all that bad as we only have 3 tackles on the roster with very little (maybe nothing) on the PS. We really did need another depth player at T. But yeah ... it's a serious need with Smith injured

Does his suspension go back to 3 years ago & what was he suspended for?

The NFL has suspended Veldheer for the first six games of the 2021 season. Veldheer said he was prescribed "low-dose Clomid due to abnormally low" testosterone.

To my knowledge, Veldheer’s retirement did not void the suspension. He still has to serve the 6 games now that he is active

I’m not sure if it goes back that far but that he was legit suspended. I don’t know if he served that out or not

I remember him being suspended.   That's why he retired.   I just haven't heard anything about it since the Colts signed him.

It might be that the league accepted him being out for 3 years as suspension enough and probably had him take a test . Just guessing on that though

Destin who some trust around here has the same question.  I like you think the Colts would have done their homework before signing him.

Not shocking for a dude who hasn’t played in three years.

I’ll be honest, I think this is a weird signing mid-season. He hasn’t played in three years? Do the coaches seriously expect him to be up to speed this season? Why not wait until the offseason?

      AR15 thru 2 games thus far:

      Denver is a huge market actually.  It covers the entire country west of KC, HOU, and DAL except the coast and provides many more opportunities for exposure than Indy.  I don't think Irsay cutting Peyton would have anything to do it.  I think Peyton teases that stuff sometimes just for a little attention.

      You gotta give AR at least two full seasons, to see if he can develop his game.

      Colts Oline graded number one in NFL

      By coltsblue1844 · Posted

      agreed... IF the offense put together long drives, the D wouldnt be on the field so much, gassed the whole time... We have had the ball 40min on offense this season in 2 games combined... our D has been on the field 80 minutes in 2 games combined...  a big part is our QB but our coach's play calling isnt helping anyone, either.   he needs to give Richardson some layups to start the game, lean on Taylor more (hasnt had 20 carries in a game yet).... If Richardson proves he cannot hit the layups, then he wont last long in the NFL...you cant rely on 60 yard passes every game and hope to be any good as a team or player.

      That's usually the best thing. Just pay attention to the people in charge and dismiss outside critiques without hearing them or seeing their evidence.

      If you can't draft one, then sign a FA that is a good TE. Even Zach Ertz resigned this year. The guy is ancient and knows the Philly system.
