Heard On Radio Collie Is Having His Knee Examined

[chad72]

Heard on JMV radio show that Austin Collie missed practice due to team doctors examining his knee.

Let us hope it is nothing serious.

I'd personally like the Colts to sign Brandon Stokely for insurance if Blair White does not see the field during pre-season.

Collie's knee is not good from the sound of the other report on blue whatever-ness or news.

In the link it says caldwell said he "should be fine".

[GoDeep]

Can we catch a break?

[chrisfarley]

Yea, Caldwell has said that about a lot of players. Like Freeney in the Super Bowl.

Stokley? lol they might as well bring marvin back.

I generally like your point of view on most things, but on this one, Stokley does not seem unreasonable.

Oh no dont get me wrong i like stokley, tbh id rather him than TJ, was just thinking the colts might as well be like the old times with harrison, stokely and wayne.

[Smonroe]

I wonder if they're now upping the offer to Housh?

[Coltswarriors]

Starting early with the injuries aren't we? Trying to get ahead of all the other teams I guess...

Hope it's not serious.

[Coltsman1788]

Yet some think we don't need insurance at wide out.

[natelombardi]

i jope collie is hurt not injured so we can sign moss or t.o it will be our last resort so we will have too....fingers are crossed

[doogansquest]

I personally don't think this seems serious at all. There was nothing there that suggested an injury or nagging condition. He was simply having it looked at. For all we know, he tweaked it a little while making a cut, or it was popping a little too much for his comfort when he stood up from a chair.

@Coltsman1788: People don't think we need insurance simply because they know the names of our first five guys. That must mean we're loaded, right? ;)

Tell me about it. lol

[John Dee]

Every team is dealing with boo boo's right now. Seems a potential TJ "championship" signing is not so "far fetched"... ???

[The HOB]

Put him on the board. How-sha-ma-zilly. Got it. Championship!!!

i jope collie is hurt not injured so we can sign moss or t.o it will be our last resort so we will have too....fingers are crossed

Hi Nate!

Not to derail but, I just looked at your profile and your rep is -12 '2nd string'. Not that this means anything of course, but, I've been laughing for at least 3 minutes. Why is that so funny?

I "jope" you don't think there is a difference between being hurt and being injured? Actually I heard that Collie has a class 3 boo boo. The trainers are applying several doses of wuv n kisseys.

:vomit:

[jskinnz]

I'll bite.

The most the Colts really have kept at WR is 5 players. If memory serves, last year they had 6 on the active roster when they added Taj Smith but that was in a ridiculous injury-riddled season. And his contribution was solely on special teams. In 2009, they opened the season with only 4 WR's.

A 5 WR corps of White, Collie, Wayne, Gonzo, & Garcon is deep. Among the deepest in the entire league. How do they make up a roster with those players and add the insurance you want?

To get to the 53 man roster, I am guessing a positional breakdown of:

3 QB

4 RB

3 TE

5 WR

9 OL

24

3 ST specialists

5 DE

5 DT

7 LB

9 DB

26

I suppose it is possible that they add a 6 WR instead of a another position, but they have traditionally not done that in the past. My best guess is the insurance you want will more than likely come at the expense of a player expected to make the WR roster.

I would guess we might do 2 QB's again.

Other than that, you laid it all out pretty well.

You should know by now then that pushing the logical argument with him isn't going to get you anywhere...... lol

Why do people think Moss is a legit solution. He's done.

[bayone]

Chad had that ion my earlier report on all that missed practice but only had 1 responce

No Biggie

also had this NUGGET

also

past reports have indicated that Bill Polian does not intend to use Ben Ijalana at guard,

Tom James of CBSSports.com Rapid Reports, learned that Caldwell is not opposed to the idea. Caldwell stated, “We have to look at our guys and figure out who are best five are to put out there on the field.”

[bayone]

Thats the Colts way , save for talking about Peyton

[jskinnz]

My 3 QB's is based on a quote read from Polian last week. I would love for them to only keep 2 as it would mean that Peyton is fully healthy.

[Rich Cannon]

I dont think its serious either but bringing a familiar target back in Stokley if need be isnt a bad idea.

[JoKeR]

Any injury big or small is going to be focused on by the media because of last years injury problems.

[EdBriggs]

You should know by now then that pushing the logical argument with him isn't going to get you anywhere...... lol

Pot, meet kettle.

[GoColts8818]

1070 also reported that Collie went threw the walk threw today along with Garcon who is having some back issues.

You might have a flex position between WR, RB and DB for a return man.

[indy_nick]

Collie is fine. I'm not worried about this one at all. I'm just really hoping for no serious injuries during the pre-season so we can fill our roster spots smoothly.

[cmgww]

At camp...he is walking with no limp for what it is worth...Harris went through some light no pad drills...Nevis blew up several plays in the back field during the running skeleton drill
