The Colts have lost starting WR Anthony Gonzalez for a while with multiple sprained ligaments in his knee.  He will likely miss several weeks for the Colts.  Gonzalez was expected to replace Marvin Harrison in the starting lineup this season.  He played in 16 games (2 starts) for the Colts last season as the #3 WR and he caught 57 passes for 664 yards (11.6 avg) with 4 TD grabs.  Pierre Garcon is likely to get the first shot to replace Gonzalez in the starting lineup.  He caught 3 passes for 24 yards against the Jaguars last Sunday.  He has played in 15 games (0 starts) in his career with the Colts and he has caught 7 passes for 47 yards (6.7 avg).  Rookie WR Austin Collie out of BYU will likely still be the #3 WR for the Colts for the time being.  He caught 2 passes for 15 yards (7.5 avg) in his NFL debut last Sunday against the Jaguars.  Marvin Harrison is still only a phone call away if Garcon and Collie struggle.
