Austin Collie To Miss Several Games (1 Viewer)

The Indianapolis Colts’ offense has been dealt yet another setback.

Austin Collie, the team’s second-leading receiver, will miss at least the next several games, and likely more, after requiring surgery on one of his hands, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.

“How quickly he returns is up to Mother Nature,’’ the source said, “but he should be back at some point.’’

Collie is second on the team with 44 receptions and 503 yards, and first with six touchdown catches.

He’s the latest offensive mainstay likely to miss time.

Pro Bowl tight end Dallas Clark is out indefinitely with a hand/wrist injury sustained during last Sunday’s victory at Washington. Leading rusher Joseph Addai’s status for the Nov. 1 game with the Houston Texans at Lucas Oil Stadium is uncertain after he suffered nerve damage in his left shoulder in the same game.

FWIW: Emailer who passed along Dallas Clark's torn wrist ligaments also claimed Austin Collie out 2-6 weeks, Addai out for "awhile" 2 minutes ago via Seesmic Desktop

Yeah, he'll be targeted 30 times, make 6 catches for 225 yards, and 2 TDs. All kidding aside, IND has been a little cryptic with what exactly is going on with their injury reports; I would take it slow, with this info - for now.
 
He tweeted a little bit ago

@yaomiiiing i don't even know if the collie and addai ones are true, but i'd definitely pick up donald brown if he's available. 7 minutes ago via Seesmic Desktop in reply to yaomiiiing

and in response to:
@evansilva I'm assuming you trust the Collie news considering the same email included the since confirmed Clark news?

He said:
@jakeneff no i dont trust it

Who the eff knows at this point, man this is frustrating. Just take the news with a grain of salt. It is definitely a RUMOR still as nothing has been reported.

. . . not to mention a guy named Reggie Wayne.

Yeah, I don't know. As a Wayne owner it's kinda 6 one way & half dozen the other. Do you want more targets along with more defensive attention or fewer targets with the distraction of Clark and Collie? Serious question. Peyton is so good that I'm leaning toward the extra def. attention not mattering, but I could see a scenario where more is LESS for Wayne and Garcon.
 
rumor is finger surgery? Garcon broke his finger Sunday night, could he be the one out 2-6 and it is a mix-up? Could it all be BS? And then it's the Colts who lie about injuries anyway....might as well pick up AGonz and see what happens

 
:wayne owner: = fine with the clark and collie news. Sorry but this is part of NFL and definitely part of FF. Luck is a factor and this is part of it.

 
evansilva

To recap, Rotoworld emailer today called Dallas Clark's potentially year-ending wrist injury & Joe Addai's "several week" shoulder injury... 4 minutes ago via Seesmic Desktop

evansilva

...3rd item was that Austin Collie has 2-6 wk injury (assuming to his foot). Still waiting on confirmation for that one, but guy is 2-for-3 3 minutes ago via Seesmic Desktop

 
where does it say it finger surgery for collie?did anyone else hear it was garcon and not collie?

I have never seen so many people jump at so many rumors. Don't you think by now, if Collie was injured this bad, u would of seen it on many sites. Your are seeing the injuries of Clark and Addai, which were reported, but have you seen any posted about Collie, except for the idiot who posted it on Twitter. He has a had a foot problem the last couple of weeks and has played on it like it didn't bother him. Now, with an extra week off, I see him coming back heathy and ready to take on a little more of a roll since Clark is supposly out. He will be the dump off guy since Clark will be out. So, I predict alot of catches moving forward. If you have him, keep smiling...Don't go crazy over a stupid rumor that is posted on Twitter...

 
1. Colts have a bye week so let' not jump to conclusions just yet.

2. The Colts appear to be without Dallas Clark who Schefter said is out indefinitely.

3. If Clark is out and if Addai misses time I would look for Collie to be on the field healthy or not. He lines up in the slot and can get to the ground quickly if need be.

4. Garcon is not healthy

5. Gonzalez is not healthy or hasn't been yet.

Chilax folks.

Other than that the colts are healthy :bag:
 
I'll believe it when it's from another source. I just don't buy it yet.

I just re-watched the end of the game. The injury would have HAD to have been in practice or something which I totally doubt.

Collie was in the game and totally fine (i.e., running a full speed route on 3rd and 10) at the 2:26 mark of the 4th quarter. And after the play, I saw no limping or anything. Collie never hit the field again.

ANY foot injury that would require missing 2-6 weeks would be bad enough that you couldn't run at full speed, right? So we would have to believe that it's a practice injury. Now if the rumor were to be something other than Collie's foot it's possible that he was in as a decoy near the end of the game (a la Clark apparently). However, that would mean wrist or hand injuries for Clark, Collie, and Garcon. And a super-serious one for both Collie and Clark.

Again, just not buying this at all on "reasonability". Give me some smoke to go with Evan Silva's fire.

Why woudl Silva lie about it? He was dead on the Clark thing. the Addai thing was obvious. The Colts r a pretty tight lipped team. we will see

I think you are connecting the dots too much. It works if you do it one time, but you are doing it multiple times. Just speaking generally, any player could have an injury in a game that is not seen by the average viewer watching on TV. Maybe they hide it well, maybe it wasn't that bad at the time, but after the game it swelled up, heck, there could be hundreds of reasons as to why he might 'look totally fine' and then be out for a while after the fact. I'm not saying Collie is or not...I have no idea. Just saying that watching the game back and focusing on Collie is not enough to make a determination on a possible injury.

That's what I said about Pierre Thomas too...he came back from his initial injury to have a big run in OT...and has been out ever since. These things can manifest themselves in strange ways.

Silva is not right or wrong about anything. He is just posting a rumor that he was emailed, just like many here post rumors everyday.

MOP, love your stuff but c'mon...you can't be serious with the "If Clark is out and if Addai misses time I would look for Collie to be on the field healthy or not" stuff. I don't care if the entire team is hurt, if Collie really is hurt he's not gonna play.And to others calling for people to relax/calm down re: Gonzo, White, etc. I fundamentally disagree. No one here is proposing that anyone cut Collie from their fantasy team in order to pick up White or Gonzo, but if you have the opportunity to drop a WR5 with no/limited upside (like Nate Washingron or Mario Manningham) why not take a flyer now? Because after one of them produces it may be too late.

great post . . .
 
:lmao: Plus, in some leagues once waivers go through, you can add/drop FCFS. With the Colts on BYE this week, now's the time to pounce on a guy like White before you have to burn a WW move on him.

If you're sitting on a WR5 or a flyer at RB like Starks or something, there's next to no risk in picking up White. If he doesn't pan out, you drop him and grab another stash guy.

You and the others that responded to my post have valid points. It's always possible that there is really an issue here that Collie is struggling with. Your Pierre Thomas example is a good one, too. Nothing at all against Evan Silva here - I'm just skeptical because this scenario has no smoke whatsoever (no injury that anyone saw, running hard on last passing play of the game on Sunday), etc.

On flipside, why would someone create a false rumor here? No idea, and that's a valid point as well. I'll just continue to treat this with skepticism at the moment since I know that Silva is the ONLY source for this and Rotoworld.com has a much bigger incentive to roll the dice on a potential scoop then a ESPN. They have a higher risk tolerance given their position vs. the established media insiders.

 
Caldwell confirms Collie being monitored for an undisclosed injury

Coach Jim Caldwell confirmed Thursday that Austin Collie is being evaluated for an undisclosed injury this week.Oct. 21 - 1:49 pm etSource: Indianapolis Star

Rotoworld indicated thst Anthony Gonzalez is targeting a week 8 return... probably has been beaten to death, but is he the better pick up over White?

 
id proly prefer a heathy gonzalez. he was quite hyped going into the 09 season. ppl were optimistic about reports of him working very hard with manning in extra sessions and gaining his trust. ofc that was a long time ago, and there its likely he lost some athleticism by being injured for like 2 yrs and likely some rapport.

anyway, with his weapons dropping like flies, is it time to downgrade manning going forward? now is proly a nice window to get decent value for him as this info hasnt hit the mix yet. may deserve a new thread i dunno.
