This, along with a large number of players missing time makes for the longest Colts injury report I've ever seen. Unfortunately the list is not just long but star studded. Did Not Participate: Antoine Bethea (foot), Keyunta Dawson (knee), Aaron Francisco (Ankle), Dwight Freeney (Abdomen), Anthony Gonzalez (knee), Kelvin Hayden (knee)...

Looks like Chad Simpson slows as Ravens are flying at him from all angles to drop him at the 13. * Peyton Manning forces his first pass to Pierre Garcon, who draws double coverage. But it shows the Colts intend to make use of other targets. * TE Dallas Clark couldn't get a good block on Joseph Addai's initial 1-yard run. * WR Reggie Wayne curls in for a fir...

Or maybe it's because letting go of last Sunday night's Colts-Patriots game isn't so easy. Some games, well, you remember forever. Or maybe it's because when Bullitt tackled Patriots RB Kevin Faulk on the fourth-and-2 pass play in the final minutes of the fourth quarter, on the national st...

He will need surgery to repair a torn biceps. So, Melvin Bullitt, this is your time. Make the most of it. You've been playing well. Keep it up. No more looking over your shoulder.

Colleague Mike Chappell filed a online report this morning which confirms the status, according to Colts coach Jim Caldwell.
