The NFL will look into whether the Indianapolis Colts violated rules by not disclosing an injury to quarterback Andrew Luck, league spokesman Brian McCarthy said.

Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer reported Sunday morning Luck has been playing with multiple fractured ribs since Week 3, in addition to the injury to Luck’s throwing shoulder that sidelined him for two games earlier this season.

Luck was listed as questionable with a right shoulder injury in Weeks 4 through 6. He hasn’t been listed on the injury report at all the past two weeks and never was listed with a rib injury. That didn’t stop speculation in league circles that Luck was playing hurt as he struggled early this season.

The NFL’s 2015 injury report policy reads: “All players with significant or noteworthy injuries must be listed on the report, even if the player takes all the reps in practice, and even if the team is certain that he will play in the upcoming game. This is especially true of key players and those players whose injuries have been covered extensively by the media. This policy is of paramount importance in maintaining the integrity of the game.”

Colts general manager Ryan Grigson issued a statement through the team Sunday afternoon, denying the team has committed a violation.

“Our injury reports are accurate,” Grigson’s statement said. “If people have any questions about player injuries, they should refer to our injury reports.”


Andrew Luck looking dumbfounded as usual.


The NFL has punished teams in the past for failing to comply with injury reporting guidelines. In 2009, the New York Jets were docked $75,000 and former coach Eric Mangini and general manager Mike Tannenbaum $25,000 each for not listing quarterback Brett Favre on the injury report for part of the previous season even though he had a torn biceps tendon.

The Washington Redskins, Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens were fined $20,000 each in October 2012 for various injury reporting violations.

The potential violation of a competitive violation by the Colts is particularly interesting. Colts general manager Ryan Grigson launched the Deflategate probe into the New England Patriots last season and later explained it by saying he wanted a level playing field.

Luck, 26, has 11 touchdown passes and nine interceptions in the Colts’ 3-4 start. They visit the unbeaten Carolina Panthers on Monday night.

You only get 7+months of investigations when nobody co-operates. If Indy co-operates this could be cleared up by the weekend.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

If true, there are possibly serious ethical breaches that ought to have penalties that reflect that. Punishment, if necessary, ought to reflect that.

So why did the so called "deflategate" investigation take so long, since the NFL admitted in court that the Patriots and their employees, including TB, fully cooperated?

Injury reporting rules leave little wiggle room for Colts

Injury reporting rules leave little wiggle room for Colts

The NFL will investigate whether the Colts failed to comply with the requirements of the injury reporting rules in connection with quarterbackAndrew Luck, who according to Jay Glazer of FOX Sports have been playing with multiple rib fractures. Colts G.M. Ryan Grigson has responded by proclaiming: “Our injury reports are accurate.”

Some believe that the Colts will take the position that Luck’s broken ribs didn’t need to be disclosed, because the broken ribs never kept him from practicing or playing in a game. If that’s the approach the Colts take, it could fail as badly as their fake punt.

“All players with significant or noteworthy injuries must be listed on the report, even if the player takes all the reps in practice, and even if the team is certain that he will play in the upcoming game,” the league’s policy regarding injury reports states. “This is especially true of key players and those players whose injuries have been covered extensively by the media. This policy is of paramount importance in maintaining the integrity of the game.”

Interpretation: Andrew Luck’s broken ribs should have been disclosed.

“The intent of the policy is to provide a full and complete rendering of player availability,” the policy states. “Should disputes arise with regards to compliance with this policy, it will be incumbent upon clubs to demonstrate that they have acted in a manner consistent with the intent of the policy.”

The policy explains that violations will result in a fine for the team, fines and/or suspensions of the individuals involved, and the possible loss of draft picks.

Not to be a troll @Rock Strongo , but are the Pats not infamous for being misleading with their injury reports?

For being vague on some injuries, and listing other players thay may simply have a bruise. For example TB12 having a shore shoulder for weeks on end, listed as probable. Not inaccurate, but not needed either.
