2012 Injury news

[jacquewho?]

He tweeted the following today

I get to test the pads out this week

Take that as you may

[sfgiants5518]

Good. We need him.

[matthollabak]

Redding in an interview today said he was playing.

Chapman also says he is excited to practice and expects to play "soon"...I don't know when soon is though.

[DieHardColtsfan]

I doubt he plays this week. Hopefully he'll be ready next week.

[jacquewho?]

Sounds like Chapman will be back in 2 weeks according to Arians. Said he's made great progress and has looked good.

In ex-Colts news, Pierre Garcon has a toe injury and is looking like he's out for a long time. I'm usually one to not cheer injuries, but......I had a slight grin when I saw this

[sfgiants5518]

Vontae and Fleener already ruled out this week.

[matthollabak]

From what I've seen Chapman is expected to be activated after the Jacksonville game. They are waiting until then because we are in need of roster spots and can't really afford to burn one on him before it. I think he has to be activated by next Tuesday or sit out the rest of the year.

[sfgiants5518]

Really looking forward to seeing Chapman. If he's even as close to being as dominant as he was in NCAA we'll be in great shape.

[jacquewho?]

My guess is Brown, Mathis, and Justice to be back for the Patriots game.

[sfgiants5518]

Fleener, Davis could return this week.

Avery concussion. Redding no idea.

[cardinals1226]

The Colts never can catch a break when it comes to injuries.

[sfgiants5518]

Colts waived Kyle Miller today so i think Fleener is back this week...

[DieHardColtsfan]

Glad to get Fleener back.

[sfgiants5518]

Will Vontae ever return?

[matthollabak]

Will Vontae ever return?

Well when he does the way it is looking we will be able to ease him in slowly. No need to rush him with the way Butler, Vaughn, and Gordy are playing.
