Marvin Harrison Week 10 Injury Update (1 Viewer)

From RotoWire:

Harrison (knee) returned to practice on Wednesday but was limited and mostly did some running. "If he comes back tomorrow and is able to practice – when we get him in practice, I think that's when we'll know he's going to play," head coach Tony Dungy told the team's official web site.

There were reports after he missed last week's loss to New England that he may be bothered by knee pain all season. The Colts have since denied those reports, but his status for the rest of the season is still in doubt. Still, it looks like he could play this week as he didn't participate in practice at all the week before the three games he missed.

MarvinGate?

Seriously, WTF? Drafted this guy early as he was a most dependable option, just goes to show injuries can impact any player.

 
yea and dungy and the colts injury report is the anti-christ... im trying to get rid of marvin to the first bidder before i have to drop him and get nothing.

 
I hope he either plays or just list him as doubtful so i can put him on IR and pick up someone usefull!!! Ugh I'll be checking this thread all week. Hopefully I will have some info to contribute since I will be checking his status habitually.

 
From John Clayton's blog tonight:

The good news is that wide receiver Marvin Harrison did some limited work and has a chance to play.

 
:) Thinking of making a trade for Marvin. Just need to keep good tabs on him before pulling the trigger. Earnest Graham is a pretty penny to for a guy that is dinged. But he'll make my team into a super power if he comes back.
 
I'll look to trade him after he comes back and dazzles because I'm afraid that he'll get dinged up again and Indy will save him for the playoffs.

 
The reports referring to "knee pain all year" are the first thing associated with this injury that *doesn't* sound like total nonsense. Please don't insult our intelligence anymore by suggesting he's missing all this time with a "bruised knee"... :)

Im guessing Indy messed up bad playing him against Jax.

Agreed. I remember towards the end of that game they showed Harrison on the bench and he was bending his knee a bunch of time and rubbing it a bit...I think he was talking to a trainer while doing that. I said to myself....uh oh.
 
HARRISON RUNNING

11/08/07 11:16 AM

THE NEWS

Marvin Harrison practiced on a limited basis Wednesday as Colts trainers put him through a strenuous workout to simulate game action, according to the Indianapolis Star. "When we get him in practice, I think that's when we know he's going to play," head coach Tony Dungy told the Star. "When that is satisfactory to them, then they'll let him go."

Our View

Aaron Moorehead is expected to replace Harrison in the starting lineup for this week's game against the Chargers.

 
Thursday update from RotoWorld:

Marvin Harrison (knee) again practiced on a limited basis Thursday.

Harrison is again looking like a game-time decision for Sunday's tilt with the Chargers. Since it's a night game, be prepared to use alternatives.

Source: colts.com

 
Friday update from RotoWorld:

Marvin Harrison (knee) and Dallas Clark (concussion) are both listed as questionable for Week 10.

Clark hadn't practiced to this point this week, but returned to limited drills on Friday. Harrison was limited throughout the week. They will both be game-time decisions against the Chargers, but neither should be relied on for fantasy purposes in a Sunday night game. Harrison hasn't played a full game since Week 3 and Clark has just four catches since Week 7.

Source: colts.com

 
on the ESPN crawl, I think I just saw that he's already been ruled OUT for Sunday. I have a feeling we might not see him the rest of the season.

 
OUT, according to the Associated Press:

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- Colts receiver Marvin Harrison's bruised left knee will keep him out of the team's game in San Diego on Sunday night. Harrison didn't make the trip to San Diego on Saturday. He participated in limited practice work this week and was previously listed as questionable for the game.

Colts to keep him out until the playoffs? They seem to be doing fine without him except the close loss to the Patriots so maybe Dungy will save him for later. Harrison seemed like a great buy low but I'm starting to wonder.

 
Wow. What a lost season for Marv... and I have always been a huge Marv fan. What I really hope is that he can come back from this NEXT year - there has been a lot of talk about this being a chronic condition.

Definately hurts Peyton a bit as well. My guess is the Colts will hold Marv out as long as they can in terms of record... from a fantasy perspective it is as bad as it gets. He's been hurt almost all year but never with a designation beyond out for the upcoming week, so no IR for most leagues.

 
does aaron moorehead have any value for 2morro... im struggling extremely with bye week issues and im starting mark clayton of the WW based on the fact that he's playing cinci. I rather my prayer takes passes from peyton then mcnair... any thoughts?

 
Alright, Harrison is OUT, Clark is questionable, and Gonzales is OUT, is Morehead the sneaky play here, or is there someone else who may contribute. Peyton will throw, but to whom is the question??? Hope this isn't hijacking, as it's relevant to replacing Harrison...

Utecht - yes, if Clark is out.I'd say no on Keith because the Colts are usually in a 1-back set most of the time. They still need a second WR out there, and that should be Moorehead.

Moorehead is useless and Thorpe isn't much better. Any chance Clark and Utecht play at the same time?
 
Im starting morehead.. so i have to defend myself lol... I wouldn't totally designate moorehead as useless in this situation... i wouldn't deem the towel boy for the colts useless if he's starting WR, peyton likes to throw.. somebody has to catch the passes.

Figure Wayne is a lock for double coverage, clark banged up... i think moorehead is a very viable play here. Not saying Marvin numbers but whats so crazy about let's say 5 catches 80 yards and a TD.. Anthony Gonzalez stepped up one game and moorehead is a big target, that can very well do the same.

 
This was the wrong year to trade for Harrison...my WRs have always held me back, so I added both Harrison and Branch. Oh yeah, that's worked out well! grrr

Are we ever going to see Harrison? As a Manning owner, I would like to see more targets on the field for him! Gonzalez did not make the trip either.

Colts | Gonzalez does not make trip with team

Sat, 10 Nov 2007 22:29:30 -0800

The Associated Press reports Indianapolis Colts WR Anthony Gonzalez (thumb) did not make the trip with the team and is out for Week 10.

I was thinking of going with Carolina vs Atlanta but I may still play SD if peytons weapons are limited, whats the shark move?

 
Any Indy homers out there have the scoop on Marv's 'bruised' knee, and if this 'bruise' will be keeping him out beyond week 10? He could be a buy low target at this point, but only if he has the potential to come back in the next few weeks.

Any indications that this was a knee 'sprain' instead of a 'bruise'?

Take this for what it's worth; I've heard this from 2 different sources (1. Radio call in from a gent who's wife is the nurse to the doc that looked at Marv's knee, 2. Gent that regularly has contact with the Sports Medicine that does all the work for the Colts): Marv's knee is bad enough to "require" surgery...which of course Marv doesn't want to do. He'd rather wait and continue resting/rehabbing the knee in hopes he'll be able to manage the pain and play in the playoffs.Now, I'm a bit surprised because if the knee is bad enough that surgery has been suggested I'd have thought that would have leaked or been announced by now. The first source sounded very legit (the guy was kinda shocked when JMV suggested that his talking about this could get someone fired), the second said this exact thing immediately after the injury and has stuck to that story this whole time.I definitely advise against anyone trading for Marv, unless you can get him VERY cheap and have the roster space to burn. I don't expect him to play again, as the Colts schedule now gets VERY soft for several weeks. Unless you see them drop one of these next 2 games (KC, ATL), I think they will continue with the plan to have him rest (and do whatever "re-hab" you can do on a busted up knee) and wait for the playoffs. Then he'll put himself out there and play through the pain as best he can manage.

Thx for the info. It doesn't really surprise me that it's serious enough to warrant surgery and that he's trying to play through it. I think he will end up coming back in the next couple weeks, how effective he'll be will be another question.

My thoughts as well. I'm not going to be all that suprised if he tries to "test" it sometime in the next 2 weeks. See how bad the pain is really going to be. I think if anyone is expecting good fantasy #'s however, they are going to be disappointed the remainder of the FF season. Buyer beware, fo' sho'.

ya, and the problem is I'm not brave enough to start him after he does start that 1st game for fear he may not finish or be totally ineffective. I'm guessing he'll probably miss at least one more week, then he'll come back and have to have a good game for me to consider re-inserting him in the lineup the following week.
 
The fact he's been "medically cleared to play" but hasn't played the past two games - including one with HUGE playoff implications - is a major red flag to me. It may be enough for those in smaller leagues or tight roster limits to consider dropping him outright rather than wasting the roster spot on him.

I wouldn't actually call the KC "pass" defense soft!! Granted, GB threw for 300+ yds against them, but thats also b/c they didnt try to run the ball at all. After a while, coverage will break down here or there. I am not saying KC's pass defense is spectacular by any means either.

Actually wasn't meaning the D in particular. Just the overall team from an W/L standpoint. If the Colts don't completely implode again, I don't see too many games they shouldn't be favored to win from here until week 15. I'll have to go back and look again at the sched to see if my memory has slipped.

I understand what you are saying now. They absolutely should be favored this week. Croyle, possibly looking to make the first start of his career; no running game; awful Special Teams; etc etc.
