The Colts have placed 24-year old PR/WR Blair White on the Injured Reserve List, ending his season due to a knee injury.  White played in 7 games for the Colts this year and he returned 7 punts for 22 yards (3.1 ypc) but they didn’t throw him any passes this year.  He has now played in 20 games in his first two years with the Colts and he has caught 36 passes for 355 yards (9.9 avg) with 5 TD grabs.  White also has returned 17 punts for 102 yards (6.0 avg) so far in his career for the Colts.  They won’t miss him too much with the way this year is going.

The Colts have placed 24-year old fullback Chris Gronkowski on I.R. (ending his season) due to an undisclosed injury.  He played in 7 games for the Colts this year but he didn’t touch the ball.  He did have 3 tackles though.  He has now played in 21 games in his first two years in the NFL and he has carried the ball 5 times for 17 yards (3.4 ypc).  Gronkowski also caught 7 passes for 35 yards (5.0 avg) with 1 TD grab so far in his career.  This is not too big of a loss for the Colts.

The Colts have placed 38-year old QB Kerry Collins on Injured Reserve (ending his season) due to a nasty concussion.  Collins played in 3 games for the Colts this year and he completed 48 of 98 passes (49%) for 481 yards with 2 TD passes and 1 INT (65.9 QB Rating).  He has also carried the ball 2 times for -1 yard (-0.5 ypc) this year.  So the quarterbacking will fall to Curtis Painter and Dan Orlovsky the rest of the 2011 season.

The Colts have re-signed 27-year old G/C Jamey Richard.  Richard played in 14 games (4 starts) with the Colts last year.  He has now played in 39 games (11 starts) in his first three years with the Colts.  This was a good move for the Colts as Richard knows the system already and he could be needed right away due to Joe Reitz’ recent surgery.

The Colts have lost left guard Chris Reitz for the next few weeks.  He underwent arthroscopic knee surgery earlier this week.  Reitz played in 7 games (all starts) for the Colts so far this year.  This is a big blow to the Colts as they weren’t running the ball or protecting Curtis Painter too well before Reitz was injured.

The Indianapolis Colts will be without starting RB Joseph Addai for the next 1-3 weeks due to a hamstring injury.  Addai has played in 5 games for the Colts so far this year and he has carried the ball 56 times for 249 yards (4.4 ypc) with 1 TD run.  He has also caught 9 passes for 65 yards (7.2 avg) so far this year.  The Colts will need rookie Delone Carter and Donald Brown to step up while Addai is out of action.  Carter has played in all 5 games for the Colts so far this year and he has carried the ball 41 times for 125 yards (3.0 ypc) with 1 TD run.  He also has caught 2 passes for 12 yards (6.0 avg) so far this year.  Donald Brown has not been used too much this year.  He has played in all five games for the Colts so far this year and he has 8 carries for 38 yards (4.8 ypc) so far this year.  The Colts are going to miss Addai as he is by far the best all around back on the Colts’ roster.

The Colts have signed 28-year old DT Daniel Muir.  Muir was one of the Rams’ last cuts before the 2011 season started.  Muir played in 14 games for the Colts last year and he had 38 tackles and 3 tackles for a loss.  He has now played in 36 games in his first three years with the Colts and he has 93 tackles, 1/2 a sack, 1 pass defensed and 6 tackles for a loss.  This was a good move for the Colts as they can use the help on the interior of the D-Line.

The Indianapolis Colts will be without 23-year old rookie LT Anthony Castonzo for the next few weeks due to an ankle injury.  He has played in 4 games (all starts) for the Colts so far this year.  The Colts aren’t very deep on the O-Line, so this is a huge blow to the offense.  Curtis Painter will wish he had eyes in the back of his head until Castonzo is ready to return to action.

The Colts have signed 27-year old G/T Quinn Ojinnaka.  Ojinnaka played in 8 games (0 starts) for the Patriots last year.  He has now played in 47 games (12 starts) in his first five years in the NFL.  Ojinnaka will probably get a lot of P.T. going forward, starting this weekend against the Chiefs.  22-year old rookie G/T Ben Ijalana will miss the rest of the year due to a torn left ACL.  He played in 4 games (0 starts) for the Colts this year.  He was a 2nd round pick of the Colts last April.

The Colts have lost 26-year old DT Eric Foster for a while (maybe the rest of the year) due to a dislocated right ankle.  Foster has played in all 4 games for the Colts so far this year and he has 12 tackles and 2 tackles for a loss.  Foster has now played in 49 games in his first four years with the Colts and he has 117 tackles, 10 tackles for a loss, 4 passes defensed, 6 sacks, 1 forced fumble and 3 fumble recoveries.  The Colts are thin on the interior of the D-Line, so this injury is going to hurt quite a bit.
