So there's our LT for next year.

Good! But when can he get on the field?

[Ironshaft]

I have little doubt that the staff and medical are sure that Fisher will be get on the field. Perhaps not at the beginning of the season but by the time it counts.

And, now, the off-season is a great success.

Zak Keefer + Stephen Holder have both written that Fisher could possibly start practicing in September. Other reporters are saying there is no official timeline for return. Obviously the September timing would assume no setbacks with the rehab process.

Told Eric Fisher's "in a good spot" with his rehab. Colts won't rush the Achilles, but the thinking is he'll be back late in training camp/early September. Sam Tevi and Julién Davenport are two offseason signings that will compete at the position in the meantime.

I was told the Colts are estimating late September is the timeframe when Fisher will be 100 percent. We shall see.

If he can be on the field by week 5, it is still a great signing. They can cobble something together for four weeks to keep Wentz upright, and then use the whole playbook afterwards. Having him for 3/4 of they year, plus the playoffs, would be exceptional.

Paging Jack Doyle.

Permanent Position = Left side tight

Permanent 1st Assignment = Blocking the defensive end

Permanent 2nd Assignment = Blocking the defensive end

Permanent 3rd Assignment = Okay, if the defensive end is contained, keep blocking the defensive end

Permanent 4th Assignment = If the defensive end is on the ground AND the offensive tackle is lying on him, go out for a pass.

Depends how long we have to ride out the season with Tevi, Davenport, or the guy we drafted last season. Is this a signing for just the playoffs and would Leno be a better signing?
