Caldwell: Sorgi has "a pretty good strain

Aug 09, 2009

Colts QB Jim Sorgi's pain will be Curtis Painter's gain, at least temporarily.
Sorgi, the Colts' veteran backup, will miss at least a couple of weeks after straining his right hamstring in practice Friday afternoon.
Coach Jim Caldwell revealed after Saturday morning's controlled scrimmage that Sorgi has "a pretty good strain. Not quite certain how long it's going to take him to get back, maybe two to three weeks.
"His MRIs came back and (team doctors) think they have the problem identified.''
While Sorgi heals, the role of backup to Peyton Manning belongs to Painter, the sixth-round draft pick out of Purdue.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
