Dallas Clark Injury: Update on Indianapolis Colts Star's Lower Leg Injury

Dallas Clark left the Indianapolis Colts game against the Atlanta Falcons in the second quarter with what looks to be a lower leg injury.

According to Jason Spells, sports reporter for WRTV, Clark is done for the day because of the injury.

This does not bode well for the Indianapolis Colts, who are currently trying to pull out a miracle and avoid their eighth-straight loss this season.

Fantasy Impact

Clark has not been a consistent or viable fantasy option whatsoever this season.

Curtis Painter has been playing just well enough to keep him lingering on rosters, but he has not been worth a start except in deeper leagues.

Clark had two catches for 21 yards before he left.

Who's the Backup?

Jacob Tamme is the second TE on the depth chart and should get most of the snaps that would involve Clark for the second half of the game.

Devastation Scale

I would say losing a veteran receiving TE like Clark absolutely hurts the Colts chances to win.

Is this a bad thing?

I don’t know right now. I actually think the Colts are better off going defeated right now and winning the ‘Suck for Luck’ campaign and drafting that highly touted QB out of Stanford.

I personally don’t believe Peyton Manning is returning from his neck injury and he may be severely limited if he does. Adding Luck would be good and not having Clark, a game changer, would help that cause.

Timeline for Return

Clark won’t be back for the rest of this game but we will keep you updated on the latest news for his status during future weeks.
