They won't say it until last minute, but he'll miss the Chargers game. Same with Ward.

Ashton Dulin also not practicing with a chest injury. Fuck.

Yeah, with Ward's concussions so close together, I doubt the Colts will rush him through the protocol.

Same thing happened with Ryan Kelly this year. After the second concussion, the Vikings placed Kelly on IR and he will be out a minimum of 4 games.

Of course, people will react differently and the symptoms could be worse based on the total number of concussions the player has had in their career.

Downs took a nasty helmet to helmet hit on that last drive. I was surprised he popped right up after that.

I’m not surprised at all that he got concussed.

He’s so small, no need to rush him back. Let him heal.

Ah, you're right. I completely forgot, but I remember he got up weird and I was surprised they didn't take him to the blue tent. Good call.

Dulin is also on the injury report. He was DnP yesterday, listed as chest. Not sure what that is, pec injury? Hopefully he can play

Brain nothing to take chances with. Let them sit and get healthy. We will need them to be healthy in January and their families need them to be healthy way beyond that.

Not getting that people want to throw AD away over a fuck up. Have you read things I haven't? Everything I read and hear about the guy is that he is a hard worker, a good teammate and not a troublemaker. He made a mistake and paid for it. Move on. I'm betting the team has.

I don't want him thrown away, personally. I've said time after time that I keep getting excited for him to reach his potential because he'd be elite. I also don't like bailing on guys, especially young ones.

That said, his personal redemption arc cannot come at the cost of the team. He fucked the the LAR game up. I don't have a grudge with him, I just don't want the team to expose a liability. I don't think he's a bad dude, but pretty immature (or possibly just dumb).

16 is tough as nails. He'll play.

It blows my mind how many times they drop before the endzone. Arizona's Demercado did it, what, 2-3 weeks after AD??? I'd guess every coach made note of AD's blunder in team meetings and yet they still do it. Mind boggling.

Well, AD Mitchell, here is your shot. And what better place than SoFi Stadium, the site of your shame.

This is a good point. This could be a great redemption game, to do it in the same stadium and prove that he has matured into a professional.

The Colts have decided to make the same move with Ward...he has been placed on IR and is out a minimum of 4 games.

The Colts have placed CB Charvarius Ward Sr. on IR due to a concussion he sustained during pregame warmups last week.

It was his second concussion in six weeks, and this one was suffered without a helmet.

The soonest Ward can return is Week 12 at Kansas City.

I see Herbert having a career day. Colts will need to put up 40 points to win this one. I would love to see Mitchell play a positive role today.

I think that 38 will do the trick.

We have 38 points now, and it's not even the 4th quarter yet ...... I hope that that will be enough.
