Injury Report: Anthony Castonzo and Jack Doyle remain out Sunday vs

Texans Update: With the release of the official injury report www.coltsauthorizedshops.com , the Colts have added in that safety Clayton Geathers did not practice today and is questionable to play on Sunday. Also, linebacker Anthony Walker was limited in practice and is also listed as questionable. Frank Reich announced some unpleasant, but not totally unexpected news today. Anthony Castonzo (hamstring) and Jack Doyle (hip) have been officially ruled out of Sunday’s game against the Houston Texans. Additionally, Joe Haeg (ankle), Hassan Ridgeway (calf), and Quincy Wilson (concussion) were ruled out. Notably, running back Marlon Mack was not on this list, and will be a game time decision after struggling with a hamstring injury that has lingered. Tarell Basham, who was a healthy scratch and missed earlier in the week due to the birth of his child Indianapolis Colts Womens T-Shirt , has been back in practice as well as Denico Autry who has struggled with an ankle injury. Both could be active for Sunday. Castonzo has been steadily improving, having strung several practices together now as he tries to work back from his hamstring injury that has hampered his offseason and has caused him to miss 4 games now. The Colts might think he is on the brink of being ready and would prefer to err on the side of caution since bringing him back too quickly resulted in a setback last time. Haeg is viewed as having a few more weeks before he can return after an ankle injury sidelined him. Jack Doyle is another who is still supposedly a couple weeks away, and whose absence will certainly be felt. In the red zone and in pass blocking, the Colts missed Doyle dearly against the Eagles. Without these guys able to play, expect more of the short passing game to be integrated into the game. The Colts don’t want Andrew Luck getting hit, and the game plan has been pretty clearly geared toward preventing that, with Luck getting the ball out quickly and not taking a ton of shots deep downfield. They will have to air it out some if they want to start winning games, but until Castonzo is back, I don’t expect them to do much of it.Colts vs Bengals: Week one snap counts The tendency after the first week of the regular season is to overreact about everything. There is nothing wrong with drawing conclusions from the first week of the season Indianapolis Colts Hats , but ultimately we have to keep things in perspective. The same is true for examining the snap counts. Now that we’re into the regular season, they can tell us a lot more than they did in the preseason. However, we have to take things with a grain of salt and understand that there will be changes that impact things going forward. Let’s take a look at the snap counts and see if there is anything interesting to be learned.Offense#PlayerPositionOffensive SnapsPercentDefensive SnapsPercentSpecial Teams SnapsPercent#PlayerPositionOffensive SnapsPercentDefensive SnapsPercentSpecial Teams SnapsPercentNotesThe first thing that jumps out to me here is the continuity across the offensive line. They were able to keep these guys on the field for every offensive snap, save the one J’Marcus Webb missed. That is unusual in itself, but whoever is freed up when Castonzo returns, it looks like they’ll have 6 guys they trust to play significant snaps.Ryan Grant is the clear number 2 receiver.He played 18 more offensive snaps than Chester Rogers, and looked solid doing it. On the offensive side, Reich does everything he does to create matchup problems, so it will be interesting to see if this is flexible week-to-week depending on the defenses they face. For that one guy who keeps trying to convince everyone that Christine Michael is going to light up this roster Indianapolis Colts Womens Hoodie , this pretty clearly illustrates what the coaching staff thinks of him. On a day where the team was missing Marlon Mack, he got just 3 snaps.Jack Doyle was in on 77 snaps, which seems like a lot because he was somewhat invisible early. That isn’t totally shocking because the tight ends were needed to help aid the offensive line against a solid pass rush. Still, it surprised me, because I expected to see that he had slightly lower numbers.Defense#PlayerPositionOffensive SnapsPercentDefensive SnapsPercentSpecial Teams SnapsPercent#PlayerPositionOffensive SnapsPercentDefensive SnapsPercentSpecial Teams SnapsPercentNotesIf Clayton Geathers had been experiencing any lingering issues with injury, those are gone. He was in on every defensive snap, and 9 on special teams. Only Kenny Moore was on the field more for the defense.Malik Hooker was in on 40 snaps, which can’t really be thought of as a “pitch count” because it is a pretty significant workload. However, when you have a guy as talented as Matthias Farley backing him up Womens Customized Indianapolis Colts Jerseys , it doesn’t bother them to give Hooker a break. Najee Goode surprisingly saw just 7 defensive snaps. When bemoaning any play of the linebackers, remember this: the three linebackers who got the majority of the snaps in this game entered the game with a combined 10 games of NFL experience. This is a young group with a ton of potential. Pierre Desir had no snaps on defense. That might be the most surprising find of all for me, personally. He had just 9 special teams snaps to his credit, even with Quincy Wilson in a club/cast.Special Teams#PlayerPositionOffensive SnapsPercentDefensive SnapsPercentSpecial Teams SnapsPercent#PlayerPositionOffensive SnapsPercentDefensive SnapsPercentSpecial Teams SnapsPercent
