They’ve had a lot of injuries impact their roster early this season, but the 0-3 start is bad and the schedule coming up is a challenge
They have hardly looked like a team some thought would win the AFC South. The Colts need a win over the Dolphins to save their season in Week 4 and they might have to do it without All-Pro guard Quenton Nelson, who suffered an ankle injury against the Titans. Wentz’s miss on an end zone throw to Michael Pittman in the third quarter will stick with him during long hours in the trainer’s room this week. Carson Wentz showed grit playing on two bad ankles, but his lack of mobility is just another obstacle for a Colts offense that has to work way too hard to move the football. Indy remains winless after a 25-16 loss to the rival Titans in Nashville. If you’re starting to feel like this is a lost season for the Colts, we’re right there with you. “I’m very confident that we can progress this thing along and be myself,” Wentz said. The biggest key for Wentz is to get healthy.
Wentz also has issues holding the ball too long (fifth longest in the league). Hilton has been out all season with a disk injury. Wentz’s 60.4% completion rate is 29th in the NFL, partially because the Colts’ receivers have been underwhelming, outside of Michael Pittman Jr. The bad news is there’s no guarantee of that happening, because Wentz is currently dealing with injuries to both ankles suffered in Week 2. The good news for Carson Wentz is that the quarterback can basically only improve from his current ranking. Here is how the Colts stack up in the week 4 power rankings. Whether this team can turn the season around is still yet to be seen. A third loss in a row this time against the Titans showed yet again the Colts issues and that they currently aren’t ready to play against the top teams in the league. After three loses to start the season, the national media continues to slide the Colts down the power rankings board.
