WR Fountain Injured

[smitty46953]

Colts WR Daurice Fountain was carted from Thursday's joint practice with the Browns with a left leg injury.


Fountain could be heard "screaming from the sideline." Both teams then gathered around in prayer. Colts owner Jim Irsay attempted to console Fountain before he was taken away. A second-year fifth-rounder, Fountain was reportedly having an excellent camp after making just one rookie appearance. A major injury would have his NFL future in doubt.

Left leg looked to be immobilized as Fountain gets stretchered off.

Very quiet practice field as the two teams try to get back to work.

This sucks, I heard rumor broken left leg?

Rapoport says its a broken and dislocated ankle.

Really sucks with how hard he clearly worked this offseason. Hopefully he can recover and still have a career.

According to Rapoport, Fountain suffered a dislocated and fractured ankle.

That seems to line up with the earlier reports of a non-contact type injury.

I feel bad for Reece since it seemed like he worked very hard in the off season in an attempt to make the final roster WR corps this year.

#Colts WR Reece Fountain, who has recently impressed but was carted off today, suffered a dislocated and fractured ankle, source said. He’ll likely have surgery right away. A bad situation for a good, young player.

Absolutely freakin' blows- he was on a path to being on this roster for sure. Sorry to hear it. Good luck with the rehab!

Sounds horrible, i wonder what the time frame for recovery from this sort of injury is? If it is a 12 week period, he could possibly be in line for an IR return spot? But could be a lot longer, far too early to really know.

Does make the roster cut down a little bit easier for the receivers. 6th spot, if there is a 6th spot is now between Pascal, Johnson, Dulin. Hilton, Funchess, Campbell, Cain, Rogers to me are the clear front runners.

We’ll see what the prognosis is, but there’s a decent chance his career is over. See: Eric Foster, Zach Miller

No way he plays for us this year. I don't know why they wouldn't give him another chance next year.

[ChoppedWood]

To top off a terrible report with a nugget of shit - apparently we got smoked by the Browns today and Jacoby looked like ass and this was obviously the low point of an apparently terrible day.

[Chromeburn]

Man that's some horrible news. I hope he can come back from it. Sounds like it was really bad.

[Oldcolt]

What a horrible thing for Fountain. Gotta be a tough mental blow to. Hope he comes back. Gonna take time. Good luck to him Shit
