Cecil Shorts III has been ruled out for Thursday night’s game against Indianapolis, according to head coach Bill O’Brien. Shorts suffered a shoulder injury on the final play of Sunday’s 48-21 loss in Atlanta.
“It’s football, you know what I mean," Shorts said Monday. "Of course you don’t want to get hurt in any part of the game, but the last play, but it is what it is. Just got to move on and get back as fast as I can.”
Shorts returned four punts for 40 yards and had his third consecutive game with six receptions for a season-high 87 yards and a touchdown against the Falcons.
