Colts WR Michael Pittman had compartment leg syndrome in his calf, source said, and he had surgery last night. It went well. He should be back the game after their bye. So, likely Week 8.

Painful and scary for players when this happens, often after getting kicked by another player. Good to see it was taken care of.

Source: Michael Pittman expects to return for the Colts' seventh game of the season.

So after the bye, Nov. 1 against the Lions.

Pittman had the lower leg injury during the game, but the symptoms didn't crop up until later. Symptoms got more severe late last night. Doctors determined they had to relieve the pressure

As I understand it, Michael Pittman is not sure exactly what play did the damage. . . . He grabbed for his calf here (look at the end of the video clip) . . . . .on this play in the second quarter.

Damn!!!!!

I'm sure that stupid throw from JB didn't help him any!

I think I remember a low hit on him early in the game.

Hope he has a smooth recovery - too many injuries this early in the season...

I had that symptom my high school freshman year of playing football from getting hit in the lower leg multiple times. The doctor said that if they hadn't caught it quickly, I could have lost my lower leg.

Yeah, scary is right.

This sucks, I guess this is a goo dstretch for him to be out, but would love seeing him get reps. My the time he is back the offense will have changed a bit.

A good sign for Colts rookie WR Michael Pittman. Was told earlier this week he’s on track for a return after the Week 7 bye.

Excellent, we need another target.
