AJ Edds

Lots of topics accross the internet discuss the possibility that Ijalana is a bust and the Colts have given up on him because he tore his acl again. Will the Colts give up on Edds because he has torn another acl? Edds tore his left acl as a rookie with Miami. He had a severe ankle sprain and a concussion that cost him games last year as a Colt. Now he has torn his right acl. Is Edds headed out the same door because of injury concerns?

Edds represents practically zero investment for the Colts. I think he's a long shot to ever have an impact here. Ijalana was a highly rated prospect just a year ago, and we used a second rounder on him. If he can rehab and be ready to go for camp, he'll be given another shot to make the team.

My father-in-law works with AJ's dad. According to what I hear AJ can long snap and he may look to head that route. With Justin Snow being a free agent at the end of the year, I believe, AJ could be a replacement for him.....at a cheaper price....better special teams tackler as well

Some people expected him to beat out Conner for one of the ILB spots.

He would have had to put in a solid camp to do that. I believe I had him making the final 53. But it wouldn't surprise me if he never gets another chance.

This is probably his best chance at staying in the nfl if true.

Yes, it would be. Easier on his body, and still important to the game, and team.
