Dec 6th
Jerraud Powers
UPDATE 3: Phil B announces the end of Jerraud Powers’ season:
confirm signing of RB Dominic Rhodes and place CB Jerraud Powers (arm surgery) on season-ending IR.
UPDATE 2: Paul Kuharsky, who covers the AFC South for ESPN, suggests that Powers then play with it.
UPDATE: We now know that Powers has a broken bone in his right forearm. It is still undetermined whether this will land Powers on IR, but he will definitely be out for several weeks.
Fresh off a heart-breaking loss to the Cowboys in overtime, the Colts may now be reeling with another loss… this one to injury. Indy Star writer Phil B. Wilson just about Jerraud Powers’ status:
Hate to pile on, but I’m hearIng CB Jerraud Powers has serious arm injury. If so, he’s likely done for year.
Coltzilla will bring fresh news as we hear what the injury is.

Colts Claim Second-Year Running Back Andre Brown Off Waivers

Mike Chappell of the Indy Star is reporting that the Colts have signed second-year running back Andre Brown off of waivers from the Denver Broncos. Brown entered the league as a fourth round draft pick in 2009 (New York Giants), and received attention from a lot of Colts fans who considered him a solid option as a bruising change-of-pace to Joseph Addai. Unfortunately, his rookie season ended when he tore his Achilles tendon, and that he has not been able to stick in a Broncos backfield that has struggled to get anything going this season is not a shining endorsement.
Still, as he entered the 2009 draft I compiled a full scouting report on Brown, comparing him to fellow 2009 rookie Rashad Jennings who is now the primary backup to Maurice Jones-Drew for the division rival Jacksonville Jaguars. To this point, who will be released to make room for Brown is unknown. His signing is not good news for Joseph Addai’s injury. Read more about Andre Brown after the break.
*NOTE – Brown does have some NFL return experience, which makes it possible that his signing has less to do with Addai and more to do with Colts returner Kenny Moore. More >

Colts Wide Receiver Anthony Gonzalez Upset
Sep 7th
8 comments
Indy Star writer Mike Chappell interviewed Colts wide receiver Anthony Gonzalez following the release of the Colts official 2010 depth chart. From the interview, it is clear that Gonzalez is disappointed that he was unable to win his starting role back from Pierre Garçon, who replaced him after he suffered a season-ending knee injury in the first quarter of the home opener a season ago.
“All I wanted was an opportunity to compete. That’s it. That’s what I was promised. I’m probably not the person to ask, really. Whether a job is open or competition takes place, is something that is determined by coaches, not players.”
Who would not be upset with the outcome? It is clear that NFL players work very hard to make a living and even clearer that players working hard to return from season-ending injuries have job security and their NFL futures riding on the line. It only makes sense that Gonzalez would want to come out of camp as the starter and to feel like the time he had to prove himself was shorter than he would have liked.

Colts Performance vs. Packers Ugly, Do Not Panic
Aug 27th
16 comments
The Indianapolis Colts experienced déjà vu in their preseason visit to Green Bay. The last time the teams met — week 7 of the 2008 season — the Colts played poorly and were thoroughly defeated by the Packers 34-14. Their visit this season was much the same, only with a more lopsided 59-24 defeat.
There is no way to sugarcoat the disappointment fans, coaches, and the team feels after imploding in their 2010 dress rehearsal preseason game. There were too many mistakes. The play was too sloppy. The injuries to players like Gary Brackett, Joseph Addai, Tony Ugoh, and Jacob Lacey were the exact opposite of the kind of outcome fans needed to blow-off the shoddy performance and look forward to the future.
In the face of all this, fans should still not panic.

Colts Tight End Tom Santi Placed on Waived/Injured List
Aug 2nd
10 comments
CBS Sports Rapid Reports is reporting that the Colts have placed third year tight end Tom Santi on the waived/injured list. This is a rather frustrating development, as I thought Santi had a great deal of talent and a bright future if he could stay on the field. Note: Phil B. Wilson of the Indy Star suggested in a tweet that the move was made to make room for Jerry Hughes, who signed earlier today.
The news does narrow the training camp competition at tight end, however, and places Gijon Robinson back on the bubble. Before, I was relatively sure that Robinson was going to lose his roster spot (he still might) because the three other tight ends on the team either had more potential or showed more skill in their limited opportunities.
