TY Hilton ankle status

[DrSpaceman]

Was listening to one of the sports radio stations, Mad Dog on Sirius/XM, they were going through all the critical injuries.

Indicated TYs ankle is pretty messed up and more serious than the Colts are letting on, so its probably not getting better before next week or during the playoffs. Seems they are likely doing some injections pregame to get him through it.

As long as he is running straight or not making sharp cuts he seems to be OK, but any cut on the field he will probably struggle to make. Which means he would probably do best on fly, post, drag, WR screen routes.

Amazing what he has been doing lately if that is true. Multiple clutch 3rd down plays vs the Texans. Big play after big play. Gutting it out via injury

Hope he can fully recover in the offseason if this is true and doesn't do more permanent damage.

Anybody ever calling him soft because he avoids hits needs punched square in the Junk.

I hate that shit, so stupid. Show me a WR that takes on hits and I’ll show you a guy that’s out of the league in a few years.

I heard the same from Kevin Bowen in the 48 hours prior to the Houston game which is why I was skeptical that he could be much more than a decoy. I was pleasantly surprised. Per Bowen, he was even at the facility on xmas day getting treatment when nobody else was there. He also concluded that Colts were not being fully transparent on the extent of the injury.

What? Get out of here with that fake news, the Colts would never be misleading about injuries to players, never. /s

Good. They don't need to be. Injury reports are for gambling. I like that they try to be tight lipped about injuries.

Will Carroll said that if Hilton’s ankle is as bad as he’s heard, then we’re going to look back at this as a Ronnie Lott-level performance playing through severe injury.

That means something, because that dude literally cut his finger off to stay in a game.

Define "fully transparent". The Colts have him on the injury report, listed as "questionable". Hilton does not practice all week to rest the injury, and then suits up for the game. If he does anything wrong to it even getting out of bed, the dude could miss the game. He plays, and he takes downs off. Sounds like the very definition of "questionable" to me.
