The Colts have placed 27-year old linebacker Philip Wheeler on the Injured Reserve List, ending his season due to a foot injury. Wheeler played in 13 games for the Colts this year and he had 84 tackles, 1 sack, 2 tackles for a loss and 1 forced fumble. He has now played in 61 games in his first four years in the NFL and he has 220 tackles, 2 sacks, 7 tackles for a loss, 2 forced fumbles and 2 passes defensed.
The Colts have placed 22-year old rookie DT Drake Nevis on the Injured Reserve List, ending his season due to a back injury. Nevis played in 5 games for the Colts this year and he had 19 tackles and 1 pass defensed. Nevis was a 3rd round pick of the Colts last April. He showed solid potential when he was on the field for the Colts this year, so they hope he gets healthy soon.
The Colts have lost 24-year old cornerback Jerraud Powers (dislocated left elbow) and 25-year old Terrence Johnson (forearm injury) for the rest of the season due to injury. Powers played in 11 games for the Colts this year and he had 49 tackles, 4 tackles for a loss, 6 passes defensed and 2 interceptions (one returned for a TD). Powers has now played in 33 games in his first 3 years with the Colts and he has 168 tackles, 25 passes defensed, 5 interceptions (one returned for a TD), 10 tackles for a loss, 1 forced fumble and 1 fumble recovery. Terrence Johnson played in 10 games for the Colts as a rookie this year and he has 37 tackles and 1 tackle for a loss. These are big blows to the Colts’ D.
The Colts have waived 25-year old OT Mike Tepper. Tepper played in 6 games (4 starts) as a rookie for the Colts this year. It really says something that Tepper was cut loose by the Colts, because they are having big time problems along the O-Line. It will be interesting to see if Tepper can find another job this year. This is not much of a loss for the Colts.
The Colts have placed 24-year old safety Stevie Brown on the Injured Reserve List, ending his year due to a quadriceps injury. Brown played in 8 games for the Colts this year and he had 5 tackles. Brown has now played in 23 games in his first two years in the NFL and he has 35 tackles and 2 passes defensed. This isn’t a big loss for the Colts moving forward.
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 will be without 24-year old TE Brody Eldridge for multiple weeks has he has had surgery to repair an injured hand. Eldridge played in 9 games for the Colts (5 starts) so far this year and he has caught 6 passes for 33 yards (5.5 avg). He has now played in 23 games (13 starts) in his first two years with the Colts and he has caught 11 passes for 72 yards (6.5 ypc). Eldridge will be missed more in the running game than the passing game for the Colts.
The Colts have placed 25-year old G/C Seth Olsen on the Injured Reserve List, ending his season due to a hand injury. Olsen played in 6 games (1 start) for the Colts this year. He has now played in 9 games (1 start) in his first two years in the NFL. This will hurt the depth of the Colts’ offensive line and that’s not good news for Curtis Painter.
The Colts will be without 32-year old TE Dallas Clark for a while due to a significant leg injury. Clark has played in 9 games for the Colts so far this year and he has caught 28 passes for 287 yards (10.3 avg) with 2 TD grabs. 26-year old Jacob Tamme will take over for Clark. Tamme played in 9 games for the Colts so far this year and he has caught 3 passes for 7 yards (2.3 avg). He has now played in 53 games in his first four years with the Colts and he has caught 76 passes for 685 yards (9.0 avg) with 4 TD grabs. Tamme will likely do a decent job for the Colts, but he is no Dallas Clark.
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.
