Anthony Gonzalez expected to miss 2-6 weeks

NFL.com reports that Anthony Gonzalez is expected to miss 2-6 weeks with a knee injury suffered in the first half Sunday.

No one was within three yards of Gonzalez when he collapsed coming off the line of scrimmage. He was initially listed as questionable to return, but NFL Network's Jason La Canfora reports that Gonzalez suffered a strained ligament in his right knee and will undergo further testing Monday. Rookie Austin Collie will likely benefit most from Gonzalez's absence, with Dallas Clark also assuming some of his targets. Sep. 13 - 4:36 pm et

Of course all of this could change after an MRI. Not until I hear those results will I believe this.

 
Now I have the dilemma of holding or dropping. I need to drop someone to free up cap space to make trades/WW moves. he is my #4 WR behind Marshall, Calvin & Roddy...

 
Awwwwww... He was a 4th wr for me, bench reciever, but I was expecting a good things... anyone grabbing his backup??

 
This sounds awfully definite that it's a strain and not a tear. From years past, I want to say there is a physical examination that is diagnostic.

I guess we'll know more early in the week.

How can it sound "awfully definite" without the MRI? That's only way to tell.

I was counting on him as a little higher than a 4th for me in one of my leagues. Who is his backup? Is he capable?

Its gona be Gracon or Collie.. And I like any starting WR for indy, but the smartest thing may be to wait and see what they say on monday

God I hope not. Mainly because I would be afraid that Manning would fall back into that I must force the 5 yd pass to Harrison so it can get deflected and intercepted, or watch Harrison duck to the ground afterwards. I don't think I could stand watching Harrison anymore. The Colts are a worse team with Harrison.

Doubtful. The only way they'd bring Marvin back(IMO) is if Gonzalez was out for the year, which doesn't seem to be the case. More than likely Wayne/Clark get even bigger pieces of the pass catching pie and Collie gets potential WR3 value. If Gonzalez is out, I think its very possible that Wayne and Clark both become the most valuable players at their positions.
 
Peyton seemed to go back a bit to his 2002 play - where he forces balls into double-teams constantly (this is the year the Colts went 10-6, lost 41-0 in round 1 of the playoffs and Marvin caught 143 balls) - especially after the injury. I really hope this changes and he throws to who's open.

Garcon is a better than Collie for a short-term pickup - but Manning will probably force it more to Wayne and Clark.

You didn't add anything either. It's comments like yours that result in the deterioration of threads. If you don't find his post relevant just skip it instead of being a tool all the time.

That's the whole point I was trying to get across. I don't think the MRI is the only way to tell. I believe a physical exam of the knee in at least some cases is diagnostic. Given the lack of hedging in this report, it makes me think the doctor is confident it is a strain and the MRI is more important to determine the severity of strain.

This is as close to optimism as we're going to get for now, so I'll take it.

From seeing what happened with Brady's physical exam last year and Polomalu's physical exam this year, it sounds like they can quickly determined if a knee injury is "only" the MCL (as with Troy and NOT with Tom) and the MRI determines to what extent tearing of the ligament has occurred. The MCL then requires 2-6 weeks to heal, depending on the severity of the tear....
 
Looking at the Colts schedule - they have a non-division AFC game and two NFC games in the next 3 weeks. If they are to "rush" him back for a crucial game - it would be for the week 5 game @ Titans. No reason to rush him back before then from the team perspective.

I would keep him out of the Titans game as their secondary is vicious. New England would be a better game for him to come back for...

New England is 9 weeks away.
 
I wonder if this is going to be similar to the Harrison injury a couple years back with no clear answer on his return. Hopefully this regime won't operate like that.

I disagree. I don't think anyone can tell without the MRI. Hell, Edge continued to play on a torn ACL, and so have others.
 
ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports that the Colts anticipate a "lengthy" absence for Anthony Gonzalez (knee), and are meeting with doctors tonight.

Gonzalez owners should hang on for now, but it sounds like the Colts are getting second opinions and their initial feedback wasn't positive. Pierre Garcon will likely join the starting lineup, with rookie Austin Collie staying in the slot. Reggie Wayne is going to be double teamed consistently, so Colts coach Jim Caldwell will have to come up with some creative adjustments.

You guys should IM each other because you are both deteriorating this thread.

Click to expand...
Most everyone is saying Garcon because he plays outside and Collie will only play in the slot in 3 WR sets, but I always go for the talent over anything else. A few of Garcon's drops and we will see Collie's targets increase. I like Collie long term, but IMO this helps Clark's numbers more than anyone else.
