Colts TE Clark has rare injury; WR Collie also hurt

Oct 21, 2010

Indianapolis Colts tight end Dallas Clark will be out indefinitely with a hand/wrist injury team president Bill Polian has confirmed.

Polian spoke this morning at a CEO Forum at the University of Saint Francis in Fort Wayne, where he told the audience:

“He’s got an injury to his wrist, which is a relatively rare injury. He’s visiting a doctor in Cleveland today. He’s due to come in and talk late this afternoon when he gets back and I get back. I don’t know what the prognosis is. This is not the kind of injury that is very common where our doctors can say ‘Hey, look, this is a four-week injury or this is a six-week injury.’

“So we'll know more later tonight.”

Colts coach Jim Caldwell also confirmed today that wide receiver Austin Collie has an undisclosed injury that is being evaluated and that both Clark’s and Collie’s injuries will be addressed publicly probably “within the next 24 hours or so.”

Clark is tied for fourth in the NFL but leads tight ends in receptions with 37 and has 347 receiving yards and three touchdowns.

Chargers to sign RB J.K. Dobbins on one-year deal

Former Ravens RB J.K. Dobbins is planning to sign with the #Chargers on a one-year deal. Electric when healthy, Dobbins — who averages 5.8 yards per carry in his career — reunites with OC Greg Roman and can hit the market again in March.

Related Players: Gus Edwards

Fantasy Impact:

Dobbins has had poor injury luck in his career, but has only managed 234 total rushes since being drafted in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft. This is a low-risk, high-reward move by the Chargers and might give them a runway to wait a little longer in the '24 Draft before they address the position.

Cowboys sign RB Royce Freeman

The Cowboys have signed running back Royce Freeman to a one-year deal. Freeman had 319 yards on 77 carries with 2 touchdowns last year for the Los Angeles Rams. He was 3rd round pick of Denver in '18.

Related Players: Rico Dowdle, Deuce Vaughn

Fantasy Impact:

Freeman hasn't rushed for 500 yards since 2018, his rookie season. This shouldn't have any impact on the team drafting at the position and/or bringing back Ezekiel Elliott.

The Eagles have paid another big-time, rising player. This time, WR DeVonta Smith gets a 3-year, $75M contract extension that includes $51M guaranteed.

Related Players: A.J. Brown, DeVante Parker, Parris Campbell

Fantasy Impact:

Great news for Jalen Hurts and the Eagles offense as a whole. Smith will continue his 1b role in which he finished the 2023 season as fantasy's WR22.
