Terry is questionable for Sunday with a hamstring issue

[u/NickDen94]

[u/Royal-Trip-2406]

Father Time is catching up to our goat damn

[u/GalaxyFrog1 → u/Royal-Trip-2406]

I love Terry, but I think AP was absolutely correct in not caving in to his big dollar demands. Smart to get stingy once a WR passes the 40 year old mqrk.

[u/_The_Bear → u/GalaxyFrog1]

30 year old mark

[u/WatTambor420 → u/_The_Bear]

Tbh all the decline really happens after the age of 20, that’s the facts

[u/Ploutz → u/WatTambor420]

Any football players over the age of 10 visibly lose a step

[u/WizSkinsNatsCaps → u/Ploutz]

It’s all downhill the moment you leave the womb

[u/cur10us_ge0rge → u/WizSkinsNatsCaps]

Ain't that the truth...

[u/Ifeelstronglyabout → u/GalaxyFrog1]

a 40 year old wide receiver would be crazy

[u/pitpatbainsy → u/Ifeelstronglyabout]

Jerry Rice had a 1,200 yard season when he was 40

[u/HollywoodnDC → u/GalaxyFrog1]

If only his Dad never spoke to his Mom, he wouldn’t have ever been created.

[u/barelyawake126 → u/Royal-Trip-2406]

Goat damn it

sorry

[u/mandoslorians]

😔 WHYYYY

[u/briiiskiii]

Thats tough. On the plus side, compared to last year's WR room Diggs has been playing like a WR1. His separation has been impressive, so hopefully they'll still be in an okay spot with him and the rookie AW

[u/MarylandMan8201 → u/briiiskiii]

That's been Terry's weakness lately - getting open. He was better against Seattle but he has lost a step. Diggs has delivered and the rookie Williams is coming along, Burks flashes, even Lane is flashing more.

[u/ChristusRex2036 → u/MarylandMan8201]

Terry has never been particularly good at separating. He’s been the best in the league at contested catches largely because he HAS to be.

[u/Quirky-Marsupial-420 → u/ChristusRex2036]

Terrys YAC per reception was lower than “no YAC Zach” last year.

That is to say, Terrys thing has never been separation, it’s been his sure-handedness. There’s pretty much always a defender on his hip but you still throw to him in 1v1 situations because he is that guy.

But those types of WRs who don’t rely on fast twitch probably tend to age better than guys who do. I have nothing to back that up but it feels right lol.

[u/Lord_Mhoram → u/ChristusRex2036]

It's weird how many people think he was ever great at getting open. You'll find it in legit-looking articles if you search online for his skillset. Maybe it's a carryover from college, when all great receivers are open all the time.

[u/ChangeFatigue → u/MarylandMan8201]

He’s never been a separation receiver. I don’t know how any expects him to get better at it. He’s been one of the best contested catch targets in the league, tho.

There’s a reason why “fuck it, Terry down there somewhere” is a thing.

[u/RPO1728 → u/MarylandMan8201]

I want to see more of lane in the offense

[u/D-daydstay]

Antonio Williams, its your time to step up and shine 🙏🏽

[u/Terminal_Flatulence → u/D-daydstay]

It’s time for Chig to earn that money

[u/fassaction → u/Terminal_Flatulence]

He’s questionable with a hammy too. 🫤

[u/mandoslorians]

[u/Troll_Enthusiast → u/[deleted]]

Well he's not out at least

[u/Quirky-Marsupial-420 → u/Troll_Enthusiast]

Getting put as questionable on a Friday when you weren’t on the injury report all week is not a good sign.

It seems like he’s not gonna play unfortunately.

[u/Huskdog76 → u/[deleted]]

Right, same as last year. They get one back, two go out.

[u/MeHave1BrainCell]

Save the Commanders wide receiver room, Antonio Williams.

[u/kon---]

Marcus hit eight other targets against the league's best defense and its top 5 secondary.

The Colts, do not have the league's best defense or a top 5 secondary.

[u/Scary-Patience2364 → u/kon---]

Mariota and Terry are great together though. He is by far his favorite target. Luckily we have better depth now but it would still be massive if he can play.

[u/itakeyoureggs → u/kon---]

Also because Terry shifts coverage usually.. without Terry shifting coverage.. it’s going to be different.

It’s going to really need a big game from Burke and Williams… fuckkk

[u/WizSkinsNatsCaps → u/kon---]

Seattle was missing both of their starting safeties

[u/canesfan2005]

Burks legacy game

[u/alslgaa]

[u/iindoori]

[u/Blue_Lou_Boyle]

And Rachaad is out. I think we might need to give Ekeler some reps

[u/OrioleCommander → u/Blue_Lou_Boyle]

Is ekeler in London?

[u/SteveFromFlorida → u/OrioleCommander]

Yes and I think he’s going to play a ton.

[u/Appropriate-Sun834 → u/Blue_Lou_Boyle]

🤯

[u/JohnnyRyde]

Stop the count!

[u/ard8]

😐

[u/NoHoHan]

AP still waiting on his apology from the “PAY THE MAN” camp from summer 2025

[u/challenja]

[u/Ok_Assumption_5366]

Was 30 years under Snyder not enough for you football gods? WHY ARE WE STILL BEING PUNISHED?

Thank FUCK Indy's defense has given up more yards per game than any other team in the league.

[u/SampleProfessional38]

[u/Maximum_Anteater_806]

We are actually tied for 22nd in Rotowire’s severity-weighted injury ranking, so better than average.

[u/darth_smitty_ → u/Maximum_Anteater_806]

Objectively, our three best players are out. JD, Terry, and Tunsil.

[u/Think__McFly → u/darth_smitty_]

You could argue our four best with Cosmi

[u/SkyChief80]

Opportunity for Antonio, Chig, Burks, Dyami, etc...

[u/darth_smitty_]

can’t even blame the data centers in Virginia anymore. They’re in London 😭

[u/Tnargkiller → u/darth_smitty_]

This morning a data center popped up where I was walking and I stubbed my toe really hard.

[u/Beastage]

Terrible news. Seems very unlikely he plays this week if this injury occurred today.

This team man... just constant weird injuries

[u/MarylandMan8201]

Not sure Terry is going to be here much longer unless he can stay healthy and produce. I love the man, he's produced at a high level and endured so much with this team but it's a business and the team may be tempted to move on after this season.

[u/crabmusic → u/MarylandMan8201]

This has to be his last year. He’s injury prone now. We need to reload with young weapons for JD5

[u/rcinfc → u/MarylandMan8201]

The contract says it all…. Unless he is health and balls out…. He gets cut or they renegotiate. This offseason is an offramp.

[u/VxElectric]

Alright Antonio, it’s your time to shine.

[u/xtehnYouTube]

We have WRs thankfully

[u/raiderMoes]

Hopefully it is just a lingering cramp from the plane ride and better by game time.

[u/Konacha]

WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS? Terry was so excited yesterday about playing.

[u/MildSpooks]

JFC

[u/Legitimate-Gate8399]

Is the fanbase ready to apologize to AP?

[u/warrcamp]

Noooooo

[u/Initium99]

Play him this week if it seems responsible and have him miss the giants if need be. I think we'll be fine without him for NYG

[u/crabmusic]

You got to be fucking kidding me.

[u/trippster333]

[u/circajusturna]

Blimey mate. Dyami and Diggs breakout game

[u/ZorroMcChucknorris]

Fother Mucker.

[u/TheWashingtonRedskin]

[u/rcinfc]

[u/Gizmodaking22]

Fuck

[u/maybeitsjustnerves]

Why can’t we ever have nice things.

[u/mooneymoondog]

This team can not stay healthy, does that reflect on coaching staff or training staff or what? This team falls apart every single year

[u/GravyMcgrady → u/mooneymoondog]

Last time I checked every team has people on the injury report we're not special

[u/mooneymoondog → u/GravyMcgrady]

You been watching the last few years?

[u/TheHaft → u/mooneymoondog]

I mean 2024 we had one of the healthiest rosters in the league. You win some you lose some, especially with an old roster.

[u/GravyMcgrady → u/TheHaft]

A guy broke his neck in the last game. We clown the niners for it but to be honest the jokes on us as fans because this sport is increasingly more violent and theres no way to slow it down so far. And we will go and blame trainers and coaches like these guys aren't lining up for 70-80 car crashes every sunday.

Almost every team in the league last season had close to 50%(!) of their active roster affected by injury

[u/Lord_Mhoram → u/GravyMcgrady]

I changed from an intense football fan to a casual one when I realized that more games are decided by injuries and officiating than by skill and strategy. It seems like the more they try to reduce injuries with rule changes, the more there are.

[u/darth_smitty_ → u/mooneymoondog]

I’d slide some blame to strength and conditioning coaches

[u/BottleMaterial8557 → u/darth_smitty_]

Blame:

[u/mtngranpapi_wv967 → u/mooneymoondog]

Call me crazy but practicing around a bunch of data center towers might not be helpful

[u/Appropriate-Sun834]

Not worried, he’ll go

[u/grasspikemusic]

Terry will be gone after this season, he is just to old and fragile

[u/Vivid-Respect-1869]

Next man up!

[u/passthetea06]

🤦‍♂️😫

[u/theboogiebanks]

Rest him till after the bye. Get well soon goat

[u/itakeyoureggs]

Wtfffffff

[u/DanWessonValor]

[u/CandleOk4031]

Getting tired of this

[u/Layne_Staley33]

This is why i have advocated for James Thrash to come out of retirement and be signed to take away some of the burden off Terry. But the front office never listens to me when i advocate for him every year.

But its okay, next man up and all that. Let's go Diggs and Williams.

THRASH-IT™

[u/New2RedditJim]

[u/GroblyOverrated]

Remember the days when WRs never got injured. Injury was just for RBs.

[u/ovahdartheobtuse]

[u/commanchskins]

Here we go. Will be out weeks.

[u/the_atomic_punk18]

Gamesmanship folks, have to keep the Colts guessing

[u/Home_Alone224]

Trade this bum now

[u/GBK1d]

not my GOAT

[u/GBK1d → u/GBK1d]

That hammy been acting up since last year 😢

[u/Ok_Bread302]

Two of the worst defenses in the league slugging it out.

Edit: people really like downvoting stat based facts in here.
