Colts GM Claim Luck Rib 'Injury Report Inaccurate' Per ESPN

Yes, Huddler's the saga of the Indianapolis Colts, Andrew Luck and Rib-Gate continues before tonight's game.

Colts GM, Grigson say it's untrue. According to ESPN's Kevin Seifert:

Quote

Ryan Grigson said Sunday that "our injury reports are accurate" a few hours after a media report that quarterback Andrew Luck fractured multiple ribs earlier this season.

"If people have any questions about player injuries," Grigson continued in a statement, "they should refer to our injury reports."

This is too funny when you think about it guys.

Quote

ESPN's Adam Schefter had previously reported the Rib Injury had largely healed.

Chuck Pagano, say's Luck's healthy.

And Luck himself says, he was advised not to talk to the media, but adds "I have no restrictions or limitations," he said.

Those three by notes by Schefter, Pagano and Luck are mentioned in the article, so I quoted/highlighted them here. Ironically, they all contradict the Glazer/Fox Report which has been bandied about so much.

Hmmmh. So it seems the Colts either said: "Oh shoot! If we say this, now the NFL can come after us for hiding injuries"!?

Or "Oh shoot. We lied. Knew Luck wasn't injured (or healed), and the NFL can still come after us for hiding injuries"!? "Oh No. We stupid"!

Lastly: Maybe it's truly old news as Schefter mentioned, and Ole Boy Glazer's  trying to be a Luck defender/opportunist!?? I dunno.

Wonder if the rest of the media will mention this before tonight's game???? Or only the "injured ribs" portion (no pun) is worthy of much media speculation and reporting? You know. Reinforcing the notion (by some) that Luck couldn't possibly play this bad if healthy??

You can't make this up. Panther fans be glad you got Gettleman for a GM. SMH

I mean, why lie? 

 

I guess maybe if you were playing a team like, say, New Orleans... you may not want them to know your QB has injured ribs lest they... you know... TARGET him or something...

 

Oh wait... you mean they played the Saints last week?  Hmmm... what a coincidence...

To keep other teams from targeting an injured area.

I understand the rationale, but it was still a dumb decision.  Given that I think Grigson is an idiot though, can't say I'm surprised.

You wanna protect your quarterback? How about getting him a competent offensive line instead of piling on more receivers?

I definitely don't think it was a dumb decision. The fine is basically meaningless and anything you can do to protect your QB from taking an extra shot in some broken ribs is worth it.

Luck has hot garbage for an offensive line

wasn't hot garbage when old man Hasselback was playing this year.  I mean insert a QB behind our OL that holds the ball as long as Cam has to......that isn't built like a DE w/ moves like Jagger?  QB gonna be abused.  Who and how you play QB has a lot to do w/ how a OL is perceived.

      Predictions from Charlotte observer sports writers

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Fowler: Bucs 23, Panthers 16. Baker Mayfield only won a single game when he was an unimpressive Carolina starter, but somehow he’s 5-0 when playing AGAINST the Panthers. For the Panthers to pull off this upset, they’ll need to score at least in the mid-20s. With Tampa Bay relatively healthy following a mini-bye (and Mike Evans’ return is huge), it feels like this will be too tough a task. Kaye: Bucs 24, Panthers 20. The win-loss-win-loss streak comes to an end. It’s hard to trust the play-calling following the loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Panthers know what’s on the line, but they also knew last week, too. It’ll be close; I just have trouble trusting a positive outcome after a defeating one on the road. Zietlow: Panthers 38, Bucs 35. This prediction goes against conventional wisdom, but then again, conventional wisdom doesn’t seem to apply to these Panthers. This group, after all, has yet to lose back-to-back contests since Weeks 1 and 2. I think they win this one to make Week 18 interesting — and yes, that’s even with motivated Baker Mayfield and future Hall of Famer Mike Evans in good form. Why not?

      Week 16 - Other NFL Games

      Sam developed into a different player after he mostly sat for a year and learned a ton by being in that QB room under Shannahan in San Francisco.  Then he went to the Vikings who have a poo load of talent and another genius level offensive mind at HC in Kevin O Connel. I think they genuinely built up his confidence in a way he never did in New York or Charlotte.  He would not have been the same player if he stayed here IMO. Especially if he had been involved in that disaster season with Frank Reich in 2023, that might have cooked his confidence for good.  I guess you could argue we wouldn't have been that bad if we also kept cmc and dj i guess.

      Willis was impressive last night given the circumstances. GB and SF seem to just have it figured out as far as QB goes.   It's frustrating, but I enjoy seeing our old players find success elsewhere.
