Garcon to keep seeing reps
CBS SportsLine.com (Free subscription) | 11/06/2009
The Colts announced Friday that wide receiver Anthony Gonzalez underwent arthroscopic right knee surgery Thursday to clean out loose particles. A timetable for his return was not determined by the team, but he's expected to miss at least two more weeks as is typical of arthroscopic surgeries. Gonzalez suffered a recent setback in practice that led to Thursday's procedure. This means that WRs Pierre...

... Wayne interception on a terribly called and even more disastrously executed trick play (on which Pierre Garcon picked up is requisite penalty a game, again for OPI which was declined as he was unable to prevent the pick). With the Colts trailing in the 4th quarter again both units stepped back up, with the D forcing a 3 and out despite having been on the field for 13 of the 17 minutes...

Unlike other big-name wide receivers, Anquan Boldin inactive Sunday
Fantasy Football Toolbox Updates (Free subscription) | yesterday
This week was a very crowded one for wide receivers on the injury report. And while most of the dinged receivers -- Roddy White, Calvin Johnson, Devin Hester, Donald Driver, Pierre Garcon, etc -- one notable pass catcher reportedly won't play Sunday: Arizona Cardinals' Anquan Boldin. Boldin has been limited by a sprained ankle for the last few weeks, but he has continued to play with...

... presumably to fit him into the rotation as a play eater. Thomas can play both end and tackle. WR Pierre Garcon (ankle) -- He practiced two days, then got a Friday off, too. Again, I think this is precaution. Could be wrong, but the expectation is he will be able to go. S Jamie Silva (hip) -- He practiced Friday, so I think he'll be a go. Plus, I talked to him during the week and he...

Today - 12:00 PM ETColts RB Donald Brown (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Texans.Joseph Addai is a much better fantasy play against the Texans' improved defense with Brown out of the picture. Pierre Garcon (ankle) is active, though Austin Collie is still a fine WR3 this week. Other Colts inactives: K Adam Vinatieri, QB Curtis Painter, WR Anthony Gonzalez, CB Kelvin...

Colts-49ers redux
Bounce it off Phil B. (Free subscription) | 11/07/2009
... you were right, blogger nation. The sunlight is a factor on those kicks. * Peyton Manning misses Pierre Garcon on that opening throw. I charted Manning's bad throws through this game and came up with 10, that is, throws he usually makes or even he would classify as off target. That's a pretty high number for him. So, indeed, it was an off day. The 49ers get some of the credit, but...

... could come back and make a big late-season difference. His injury also hastened the development of Pierre Garçon and Austin Collie , which was a big positive. Tyjuan Hagler was playing well, but the Colts have Philip Wheeler waiting in the wings. If Wheeler isn't ready, then that's on him and the Colts will simply plug into another backer. Kelvin Hayden is expected back. So, before...

From Adam Shefter, the God of Twitter: Anthony Gonzalez does indeed go under the knife, and more Colts news
Stampede Blue (Free subscription) | 11/06/2009
Adam Shefter is indeed the god of NFL Twitter updates : Shefter's report backs up the story from Yahoo! Sports yesterday . The positive out of all this is Gonzo's season is not over. They discovered loose particles in his knee, and they are getting them cleaned out. With Pierre Garçon and Austin Collie playing well, I have no problem with Gonzo chilling out until December. The distressing...

... on someone who can help the team. Right now, Gonzo is not helping the team. With the emergence of Pierre Garcon and Austin Collie , along with the signing of Hank Baskett , the loss of Gonzo is not that severe. I know some are "worried" that Garcon is too inconsistent, and others are pissed Baskett dropped a few balls against the 49ers Sunday. Calm down. Relax. The...

Couple that San Francisco getting to Manning for three sacks, more than the Colts had given up all season, and you can see why the Texans are confident they can beat the Colts for just the second time in franchise history.On the other side of the ball, the Colts defense...

Clements Demoted, Injured Simultaneously
49ers Gab (Free subscription) | 11/02/2009
... Using Brown instead of Clements seemed to work as he “held” the Colts’ speediest wide receiver Pierre Garcon to 4 catches for 53 yards. I expect the so-called “demotion” of Clements to be temporary; however, depending on how well Brown does could very well change the minds of the 49ers’ coaching staff. The next few weeks should tell the tale.
