Bill Swerski Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 This would help their offense tremendously. If Gonzalez plays, he'll likely start a flanker. From Colts.com... LOOKING UPBy John Oehser - Colts.com Gonzalez, Ugoh Could Return for Atlanta, Dungy Says INDIANAPOLIS – The news for the last month around the Colts has focused largely on injuries, and mostly it has been less than encouraging. Colts Head Coach Tony Dungy said Monday that could be changing. Anthony Gonzalez, a rookie wide receiver who has missed the last two games with a hand injury, could return for the Colts’ game against Atlanta Thursday, as could offensive tackle Tony Ugoh (neck) and tight end Bryan Fletcher (calf), Dungy said Monday. “We’ll have a couple of guys back and at least be able to field 45,” Dungy said Monday as the AFC South-leading Colts (8-2) prepared to play the Falcons (3-7) at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Ga., Thursday at 8:15 p.m. The Colts, who beat the Kansas City Chiefs, 20-13, on Sunday to snap a two-game losing streak, have played without several starters each of the last three games. Wide receiver Marvin Harrison has missed five of the last six games and the last four in succession with a knee injury. Linebacker Freddy Keiaho, Ugoh, Gonzalez and linebacker Tyjuan Hagler also have missed multiple games and tight end Dallas Clark and defensive tackle Raheem Brock missed a game each. Against the Patriots two weeks ago, four starters missed with injuries, and against San Diego, six missed. On Sunday, Keiaho, Clark and Brock returned, but Harrison, Ugoh, Hagler and Gonzalez missed. Dungy said Harrison may be able to return when the Colts play host to Jacksonville December 2, “but we’ll see,” he added. Offensive tackle Ryan Diem, who left a loss to San Diego a week ago with an ankle injury, left the victory over Kansas City Sunday and afterward was “not much worse than before the game,” Dungy said. “We’ll see on a short week what he’ll be able to do,” Dungy said. “Right now, we’re optimistic he’ll be able to play.” Also, rookie cornerback Dante Hughes who missed Sunday’s game with a shoulder injury, “has a chance to be back,” Dungy said.

SuperCharger Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 A healthy Colts team, even minus Freeney, is the only team that can hope to compete with the Pats. A healthy Colts team is good for the NFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
