Vinatieri - is he going to play? (1 Viewer)

FBG projections for the week seem to assume Vinatieri's playing this week. He missed last week and was questionable on the injury report this week. Anyone have any real sense of whether he's a go for Sunday?

Colts K Adam Vinatieri (groin) is not expected to play per Sirius NFL Radio. Other pay-for service(s) calling that Vinatieri might be shut down. Gramatica might be good bye week filler since Indy's schedule sees NYJ, TEN, bye, WAS, DEN , NE

PK Vinatieri Expected To Play

Mike Chappell, Indianapolis Star - [Full Article]

The Indianapolis Colts should be able to rely on the reliable right leg of PK Adam Vinatieri in Sunday’s game with the New York Jets. Vinateri went through a strenuous workout this morning and expects to play. He was not available for comment, but HC Tony Dungy said “he’s pretty set on kicking.’"

He was pretty adamant about not missing Week 1 despite the broken bone / sprain in his plant foot.

IMHO, I believe he hurt his groing compensating for his plant foot injury that we first reported in mid-August here.

I'd seek out other options if you could, otherwise you'll be sweating this guy all year.

 
:hot:

this is killing me. i grabbed him as the first kicker in out draft (10th round).

we have no IR option & Feely is on a bye. :wall:

any definitive updates?

I just heard Dungy on NFL Radio..he said V kicked good today and barring any problems during the night should be good to go. :thumbup:

Vinatieri Kicks Again, Ready To Go?

Tom James, Terre Haute Tribune Star - [Full Article]

PK Adam Vinatieri, who had not missed a game in his previous 10 NFL seasons, has been sidelined the last two weeks with a strained groin. But he kicked yesterday, for a second straight day and appears ready to play against the Titans.

 
Don't know if it's been mentioned, but he has been upgraded to probable and Grammatica has been released. Unless a meteor lands on his head or some clown on an Arena team pull a Gilooly...he's good to go.

The ColtPower site is showing Grammatica as being resigned tonight.

Where did you hear this or are you just purely speculating?
 
Out late this evening and I heard via NFL Sirius Radio that Gramatica was just re-signed and Adam V is down to questionable.

Sorry guys, I tried to warn you about this situation in August.

Go. Get. Another. Kicker.

I heard about Gramatica being re-signed, but are you sure that Vinatieri was downgraded to questionable? The NFL injury report still has Vinatieri as probable...

Haven't seen any news or link - just reporting what I heard at around 11:40 on the radio.
 
When in doubt, sit him out! With the BYE week looming, and a gimme game against the Titans, why not sit him?!

If he rests, the balance of the year he will be golden!

 
great. fine day for me to find out that my league's roster deadline SAYS "1 hour before week's first game", but as of 9AM, is set in stone and i can't change anything.

there goes 6-10 pts down the toilet.

 
It looks like everything is back to normal in Indianapolis. Getting upgraded to probable on Friday, coupled with the release of PK Martin Gramatica on Thursday, only means that Vinatieri will be kicking for the Colts on Sunday. Start him in all leagues for Week 5.

saw on the news THIS MORNING that the Colts re-signed Gramatica.

i thought they waived him Wednesday & re-signed him Friday? did they waive and re-sign him AGAIN since then?

From colts.com. I just copied the part of the article about Vinatieri:

“It's all about football again, starting today,” kicker Adam Vinatieri said as the AFC South-leading Colts (5-0) prepared to play the Washington Redskins (2-4) – a playoff team last season – at the RCA Dome Sunday at 4:15 p.m.

The Colts, who lead the South by two games over Jacksonville, will visit AFC West-leading Denver (4-1) and AFC East-leading New England (4-1) after the Redskins game.

As preparations for Washington began, Vinatieri was one of several players – a list that included safety Bob Sanders – nearing full health, and as such, was the focus when the media converged Monday afternoon on the Union Federal Football Center.

Vinatieri, the Colts’ most high-profile free agent, missed the last three games before the bye week with a right groin injury. The Colts signed kicker Martin Gramatica for those three games, but released him last week.

Vinatieri, the AFC’s Special Teams Player of the Week in Week 1, said Monday he expects to kick against the Redskins.

“I’m trying to do everything I can to get back on the field,” Vinatieri, a two-time Pro Bowl selection during 10 seasons with the New England Patriots, said, adding:

“I don’t know if anybody’s 100 percent (six games into the season). If you ask every single person in the league right now, they have bumps and bruises and things like that.

“I’m progressing along good enough that I think I’ll be on the field.”

 
The good thing about a kicker though is that there isn't a backup on the roster. No point in worrying until you see the Colts resigning Gramatica. Then, you go and grab a replacement for the week.
