Default Week 4 Injury reports

S Julian Blackmon Ankle DNP
DT DeForest Buckner Elbow DNP
CB Stephon Gilmore Hamstring DNP
C Ryan Kelly Knee DNP
DE Yannick Ngakoue Back DNP
RB Jonathan Taylor Toe DNP
OT Bernhard Raimann Ankle LP
LB Shaquille Leonard Back FP

I guess I have a stupid question.... if Leonard isn't going to play, would it not be more beneficial for someone else to be getting these practice reps?

Leonard talked a bit about his recovery today with the media:

Quote:
Colts LB Shaq Leonard:

"I’m gonna say this because I’ve seen it all on social media: if I’m ready to go, I’m gonna play. Everybody know me: I love this game. Love it with all my heart, I’d do anything to play this game for 100 years..."
https://twitter.com/zkeefer/status/1575533632751484929

Quote:
"(I’ve been) practicing 4 weeks.

People gotta understand the 1st week, it was just nothing but stiffness.

2nd week, OK, now, how can I cover ground?

3rd week, OK, lemme see how can I tackle? Can I tackle in space? Can I move left to right? Can I do the things I’m supposed to do."

But if I think that my ability is putting the team in trouble? I gotta respect my decision to say OK, Zaire (Franklin) is playing a whole lot faster, the defense would be better with me standing on the sideline. It’s me looking myself in the mirror and telling the coaches that."

A few guys returned to practice today:

RB Jonathan Taylor is back at practice today.

Quote:
CB Stephon Gilmore (hamstring), C Ryan Kelly (knee) and DE Yannick Ngakoue (back) are back as well.

DT DeForest Buckner (elbow) doesn’t look like he’ll be an active participant in practice today.

He’s off to the side getting individual reps in on a tackle dummy. Brace on his left elbow, no helmet or pads.

No. He had back surgery. It takes time to get those muscles rebuilt. And he probably isnt in game shape due to surgery. Neither the coaches or Leonard know what he can due until he can do it in practice. They had to cut muscle to to take pressure off the nerve and reconstruct the nerve placement.

If he gets back before mid season, I will be surprised

Today's practice looks similar to yesterday.

Those practicing today for the Colts: RB Jonathan Taylor, C Ryan Kelly, LB Shaq Leonard, OT Bernhard Raimann.

Not practicing: DT DeForest Buckner (watching with a brace on his elbow), S Julian Blackmon.

So Reich ruled Blackmon out. Curious about Nick Cross' role.

Interesting he listed Leonard as questionable, not out.

The last time DeFo was out was not a pretty sight. I think he and Shaqu both play. Go Blue!

I think it was against the Titans when he had Covid, correct?

And no, it was not a pretty sight.
