fantasy owners alert
Dallas Clark will have surgery next week to repair an injured wrist, ending the Colts tight end's season, the team announced Friday.
"It's unfortunate, but it's been confirmed that surgery is necessary to repair the injury to my wrist," Clark said in a statement released by the team. "I have met with three great surgeons, Dr. (Arthur) Rettig of the Colts, Dr. (Thomas) Wiedrich in Chicago and Dr. (Thomas) Graham in Cleveland. All three have helped me and my family out tremendously during this process. I look forward to supporting my teammates the rest of this season and rehabilitating my wrist back to full strength for next season."
Clark is tied for fourth in the NFL in receptions, but he leads tight ends with 37. He has 347 receiving yards and three touchdowns. He had 100 receptions for 1,106 yards in 2009 season.
Three-year pro Jacob Tamme will fill in for Clark. Tamme has played in 34 games and has six catches for 47 yards, none this season. The team also re-signed tight end Gijon Robinson on Wednesday.
The news comes one day after the Colts announced that Austin Collie, their second-leading receiver, had thumb surgery.
The team said a timeframe for Collie's return hadn't been established, but a source with knowledge of the situation told NFL Network insider Jason La Canfora that the receiver will be out at least two weeks.
Collie has 44 catches for 503 yards and a team-high six touchdown receptions.
It doesn't end there. La Canfora reported Wednesday, citing a league source, that Joseph Addai could miss several weeks after sustaining nerve damage in his left shoulder during the Colts' 27-24 win over the Washington Redskins on Sunday.
The Colts are on a bye this week. They are scheduled to host the Houston Texans in Week 8.
