Wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. departs practice with evident injury issue.
🏈 Indy's Star Wideout, Mike Pittman Jr., Leaves Practice Early
(Heads-up: This content features a lighthearted, conversational style!)
Consider yourself in the thick of Indy's training camp with us! Michael Pittman Jr., our favorite wide receiver for the Colts, had a bit of a scare during Thursday's practice. No worries though, as it seems he's dodged a bullet!
During a frenzied 11-on-11 play, Pittman took a tumble, leaving everyone sweating paid the bills—or in this case, the stadium seats! But fear not, the injury might've just been a casual knee collision, and the media reports have indicated it's nothing too severe.
You might recall that Pittman previously grappled with a fractured back during OTAs. Well, he's practically hung up his cast and dusted off the gridiron after getting cleared by the doctors in March. To his credit, the man is a real trooper! The Colts will surely be crossing their fingers that this pesky back issue doesn't pop up again.
Now, let's talk numbers—in 14 out of 16 games last season, Pittman, the 27-year-old turbocharged target machine, snagged 69 out of 111 attempts, racking up a respectable 808 yards and three touchdowns. His career stats boast an impressive 405 catches, 4,470 yards, and a slew of 18 touchdowns.
Pittman's all-star performance reached new heights in 2023, when he locked down an astounding 109 passes for a dazzling 1,152 yards with a touchdown count of four! Remember, the Colts took this guy in the 2020 draft's second round (34th overall), and they've been reaping the rewards ever since!
As we gear up for this season, it seems Pittman might need to keep an eye on that troublesome back, as it's the kind of injury that can sometimes creep up on you. But hey, we've got our fingers crossed he'll recapture the brilliance of his 2023 campaign!
Insiders suggest that Fantasy Football fanatics should keep Pittman on the backburner compared to his fellow Colts receiver, Josh Downs, who's also returning from an injury. The advice is to stick to Pittman as a steady floor option, rather than reaching for high-upside picks, due to the potential injury risk.
But hey, here's to hoping THE Pittman brings that explosive spirit back to Indy's gameplan this season! Keep it locked right here for all the juicy Colts camp updates. 🍿🏈
