| Dallas Clark will undergo wrist surgery to repair a displaced tendon this week. He's done for the year
Wide receiver Austin Collie is out indefinitely after undergoing surgery on his thumb Running back Joseph Addai is out indefinitely with nerve damage in his left shoulder Defensive tackle Antonio Johnson had knee surgery and is out indefinitely Addai's backup, Donald Brown,MLB Jerseys, has missed the past three games with a hamstring injury Anthony Gonzalez's status is uncertain with a high-ankle sprain Colts injuries are no reason for Texans fans to cheer In addition, Colts punter Pat McAfee has been [u]DeMeco Ryans Jersey[/u] suspended for a game because of a recent public intoxication charge. What is it about Indy and 'liquored up' kickers? The Texans and Colts face serious injury issues as they head into their Monday night matchup on November 1. If anyone thinks this will be easier because of the [u]DeMeco Ryans Jersey[/u] Colts injuries you are sorely mistaken. First, I've never really gotten into reveling in other teams' injuries. That's just too Philly fan for me. Getting excited over your opponent's injury report means you're weak. The Texans will likely approach this one like they did in the season opener. They will try to get Arian Foster and Derrick Ward going to keep the ball out of #18's hands. The Texans made Dwayne Bowe look like a Pro Bowler and gave Joey Galloway a reason to believe he could play until he's 50. And that was with [u]DeMeco Ryans Jersey[/u] in the lineup. "Dallas Clark out for the season!" read one. "Colts are done!" read another. The Texans and their league worst defense will be lining up for the first time in 4 1/2 years without team captian [u]DeMeco Ryans Jersey[/u] who is done for the season with a torn achilles. Second, as long as #18 is breathing the Colts aren't done. If Reggie Wayne and Pierre Garcon are lining up on one side of the ball and Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis are lining up on the other, the Colts aren't done. On defense, the Texans have been predictable of late. They will give up yards and points, whether it's Dallas Clark or Jacob Tamme lining up at tight end. The Texans, who have two roster spots open, will be playing plenty of nickel against the Colts with Brian Cushing and Zac Diles lining up in tandem. I would expect Sharpton and Bentley (if healthy) to see action in three linebacker sets. Bentley hasn't played in several weeks following a knee scope. As far as Texans fans getting loose on Twitter, I think that was a random occurrence. I checked out a couple of the main Texans message boards and fans have this one in the proper perspective. Don't assume it's going to be any easier just because of the injuries. The Colts had their own flood of bad news this week. Let's itemize: (from Phil Richards, indystar.com) These are the Texans we're talking about. Remember them? The team with the NFLs worst passing defense? After hearing about the Colts injury news yesterday [u]DeMeco Ryans Jersey[/u] I noticed some Texans fans on Twitter getting a bit too giddy for my liking. In his article, Richards did a good job explaining the effects of losing a versatile player like Clark. "Dallas pass-protects like a right tackle," said Peyton Manning. And he's also a threat to go down the middle of the field" It's still the Colts. Really? Losing [u]DeMeco Ryans Jersey[/u] is bad enough but the Texans also had three of their backup linebackers (Kevin Bentley, Darryl Sharpton, and Xavier Adibi) inactive last week due to injury. It's hoped that all will be back next week but it remains to be seen how the Texans intend to juggle the group to make up for the loss of [u]DeMeco Ryans Jersey[/u]. |
