Wasn't it just a hand injury?Hard to watch. It didn't look like a malicious hit by DB Coleman at all...just enough of a glancing blow to probably TKO him. Although with how hard Collie's head hit the ground after the hit, I wouldn't be surprised if that was what really amplified any injury he might have incurred. A bad situation all around. I'm sure Coleman didn't mean it! I just hope Collie's gonna be okay.
or just precautionaryHe left the field with helmet still on....bad sign
Disagree. His left arm went stiff immediately after the hit in the head and prior to hitting the ground.His brain sustained damage...but again if it's a concussion, he should be ok after a few weeks. I'm worried now about neck injury at this point.looked like his head hitting the turf was the worst of it, not the hit. All happened so quick, hard to fault the Eagles DB's...
This is right. TERRIBLE call. The NFL is getting stupid on these hits.Sucks for Collie, but it was a legal hit and a fumble. Eagles got screwed.
Yup. Primary concern is with Collie. But, the first defender hit him, changed his helmet level, which at least increased the chances of the second defender hitting him in the head.This is right.

I think datonn was referring to the initial contact on the play in question when he says "amplified any injury he might have incurred". Collie's head hitting the ground didn't help.Wasn't it just a hand injury?Hard to watch. It didn't look like a malicious hit by DB Coleman at all...just enough of a glancing blow to probably TKO him.

No, the 2nd guy hit Collie in the shoulder. Neither hit him in the head.My take is Collie DID take a head to head shot by the 2nd defender but it wasn't intentional. Collie had his head bent forward and the first defender hit him into the 2nd defender.
Lot's of disagreement in here. Coleman was HTH, IMO.Regardless, they just mentioned he's sitting up, and it just looks like a basic concussionNo, the 2nd guy hit Collie in the shoulder.

They just reported he's sitting up in the locker room.![]()
I hope that's the extent of it. I hope this guy comes back strong. Yes I'm a Collie owner but I wouldn't wish anything career threatning on any player.They just reported he's sitting up in the locker room.![]()
Agree totally with you.Bad concussion. He was moving. The head hitting the turf was the brunt of the injury too. Plus the helmet hitting the back of the helmet rung his bell.Totally clean play and he should not be fined. Incidental contact after the first hit.Not even close to being intentional or dirty. It is a rough game.
Seeing Collie lying stiff and motionless on the ground reminded me of the concussion Jahvid Best got last year at Cal. That one kept Best out for about half the season. I don't think there's any way Collie plays the next few games.Why exactly will he be out for a while?
Howlong was Djax out? The hit he took was even worse than the one on Collie.Seeing Collie lying stiff and motionless on the ground reminded me of the concussion Jahvid Best got last year at Cal.

Everybody is different. We're all not the same. Djax hit did look worse but he was able to walk off the field after he woke up, Collie, on the other hand.. couldn't. I'd be surprised if the NFL let alone the Colts let him play before week 13-14.the spanker said:Howlong was Djax out?

It all depends on whether he can pass some neurological and cognitive tests. I think the team physician and an independent neurologist must both pass him. There could be a brain scan. But, the apparent severity of the concussion doesn't play a big role.Everybody is different. We're all not the same.

Desean wasn't really able to walk off the field on his own power... he had two people holding him up and looked extreeeeeeeeeeeeeeemely wobbly. Obviously it was more encouraging than Collie being carted off w/ no "thumbs up"... but if the reported diagnosis is correct I doubt he misses anything more than a game.Everybody is different.

I was thinking of Darrell Jackson when he got laid out by the Cowboys. He walked off the field too, iirc, but then collapsed into seizures in the locker room after the game.Everybody is different.

The D Jax hit had more force and looked more violent but the Collie hit was probably worse due to him getting hit in the back of the head.the spanker said:Howlong was Djax out?

Excellent news."Collie has full movement in his extremities, and was sitting up in the locker room as the Colts came out for the second half. He appeared to lose consciousness momentarily, hinting at a significant concussion. Added coach Jim Caldwell, "It's a concussion, so we'll see how long it takes to clear."Thrilled to hear that Collie is going to be fine and the hit looked worse than what it really was.Couldn't care less about when he returns to play football, just glad that this wasn't the life changing hit that it looked to be at the moment... The room full of guys I was watching the game with went completely silent when Collie was lying motionless on the field. Glad to hear he dodged a bullet tonight.
