Colts TE Clark has rare injury; WR Collie also hurt

Oct 21, 2010

Indianapolis Colts tight end Dallas Clark will be out indefinitely with a hand/wrist injury team president Bill Polian has confirmed.

Polian spoke this morning at a CEO Forum at the University of Saint Francis in Fort Wayne, where he told the audience:

“He’s got an injury to his wrist, which is a relatively rare injury. He’s visiting a doctor in Cleveland today. He’s due to come in and talk late this afternoon when he gets back and I get back. I don’t know what the prognosis is. This is not the kind of injury that is very common where our doctors can say ‘Hey, look, this is a four-week injury or this is a six-week injury.’

“So we'll know more later tonight.”

Colts coach Jim Caldwell also confirmed today that wide receiver Austin Collie has an undisclosed injury that is being evaluated and that both Clark’s and Collie’s injuries will be addressed publicly probably “within the next 24 hours or so.”

Clark is tied for fourth in the NFL but leads tight ends in receptions with 37 and has 347 receiving yards and three touchdowns.

Cowboys Beat: TE Jake Ferguson not expected to play Thursday

Nick Harris on X

1 hour ago

Long list here, but this is what I’ve gathered:

Guys I expect to play: Brandin Cooks, CeeDee Lamb, Tyler Smith, Cooper Rush

Guys I don’t expect to play: Jake Ferguson, Caelen Carson (possible IR), Zack Martin, Asim Richards

Gonna be close: Trevon Diggs, Eric Kendricks, Marshawn Kneeland

Related players: Luke Schoonmaker

Fantasy Impact:

Ferguson didn't practice Tuesday and remains in protocol, while Rush and Lamb both logged limited sessions. Cooks was also limited. Harris expects Rush, Lamb and Cooks to all play on Thanksgiving against the Giants. If Ferguson is out, Schoonmaker makes for a nice option as a replacement TE in fantasy lineups.

A high-ranking league official told me they have the impression QB Daniel Jones has zeroed on a "leading" choice. While another high-ranking league source told me their understanding is Jones "is telling teams tomorrow."

Fantasy Impact:

Jones seems headed for a backup job and the Ravens, Vikings and Bucs seem like teams that could be in the market. There is a report that says Jones has eliminated the Raiders from contention. As the report said, a decision could come Wednesday from Jones.

Saints say WR Chris Olave (concussion) in a good place

Darren Rizzi said that Chris Olave is in a good place.

Fantasy Impact:

The post went on to say Olave was at the Saints practice on Tuesday and that Olave has seen several specialists and has another appointment coming up soon. On IR, the earliest Olave could be back is Week 15, but there seems to be a ways to go before we get to that point. Other reports say Olave may not return this season.
