According to NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport (which was later confirmed by head coach Frank Reich), Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. has compartment leg syndrome in his calf and underwent surgery—with an expected return around midseason:
#Colts WR Michael Pittman had compartment leg syndrome in his calf, source said, and he had surgery last night. It went well. He should be back the game after their bye. So, likely Week 8.

It’s a considerable blow to the Colts receiving corps as the rookie wideout had played 58% of the team’s offensive snaps on Sunday—catching 3 receptions for 26 yards (on 4 targets) and providing a physical run blocking presence along the perimeter.
