Indianapolis Colts Rookie Report: Week 5 vs. New England Patriots

Injuries are forcing the Colts to make roster adjustments in order to put a healthy team on the field. For instance, in place of rookie linebacker Darius Leonard was rookie linebacker Zaire Franklin. In place of right tackles Joe Haeg and Denzelle Good was rookie guard/tackle Braden Smith. Even undrafted rookie George Odum had to take snaps during the game after Clayton Geathers left with an injury.

The bad news is that these changes are made out of necessity and signal that the Colts are experiencing another season with a ridiculously high injury rate.
