I really, really hope this is is not true. From Matt Hoke, via Twitter:
Rumor: Dallas Clark out for the year & Gijon Robinson has been signed by the #colts.
Matt's the Technical Director at the NBC affiliate in Indianapolis.
Earlier today, the Colts re-signed tight end Gijon Robinson. We all wondered why. If this is true, now we know.
[UPDATE]: From John Oehser:
#Colts coach Jim Caldwell on hand injury to Dallas Clark. "He's being evaluated." Not much more than that on Clark rumor from Caldwell.
[UPDATE]: From Phil Wilson:
Only rumors about Clark are on here, from people who aren't at the complex, who are speculating. No rumblings in locker room.
Matt Hoke, who first Tweeted the rumor, recently Tweeted this in response to someone telling him they were in 'full blown panic mode' regarding the rumor:
Me 2. Cant confirm, like I said earlier, just a rumor I heard.
We really, really, REALLY hope the rumor is false regarding Clark being done for the year. However, it does seem that what we did get out of this was that Dallas has some kind of hand injury. The extent of that injury is currently unknown.
Oh, and I'd like to take this time to welcome Matt Hoke to the wacky world of the Internet! Seems pretty clear Matt did not intend to cause the crap storm his did seems to have set off.
[UPDATE - mgrex03]: From ESPN's Adam Schefter:
Colts TE Dallas Clark is out indefinitely w/ hand/wrist injury. He plans to go for 2nd and 3rd opinions to determine how long he'll miss.
That doesn't sound good at all.

I've asked
Phil Wilson and John Oasher about this rumor. No replies yet. I really hope this is just dumb speculation cause of the Honey Gijon signing

They probably won’t respond because they want to confirm the story. When they confirm it, it will likely be in an article.

response from Phil B
@coltsfan723 Just because it’s being tweeted everywhere doesn’t make it true. We’ll have to wait and see.
Not that it says anything, but looks like it might be a long waiting process.

Credibility
Why should we believe this one more than the Peyton Manning injury rumor posted here?
Let's relax
In this instance BBS simply quoted someone else’s tweet…he isn’t saying anything about the injury. He clearly typed out “Rumor”, put the text block in and said he hopes it isn’t true…completely different instance than the Peyton Manning injury here.

relax?
Passing on a rumor isn’t much better than creating it yourself.
I think this blog is better then that. Give me facts, give me analysis.
Leave the rumors to someone else.

A TE was JUST signed by thee Colts
Its ALL OVER Twitter. All this is is BBS passing on info. Im not one to kiss ass, but you’re comment is dumb. This is a Colts blog. Dallas is a Colts player. Him being out is a pretty big deal.
Peyton Manning rumor had NO credibility cause no one said anything but some anonymous. This, on the other hand, is something that is being passed around like a joint at a party on Twitter. Like it or not, THIS is a rumor that needed to be shared.
Hopefully its untrue.

Knock it off already. I’m not going to take kindly to anyone saying things I report on, even rumors, have ‘no credibility.’ One more remark like that, and you’re toast here.
FYI folks: When I see credible rumors about my favorite Colts player being done for the year, my patience with douchebag comments goes from 10 to 0. Everyone is warned.

Umm...
okay? This was a comment to a guy who called YOU out. I was totally on your side about this one, but if you wanna jump my ass for siding with you so be it I guess.

I know what your intent was, and I appreciate that. However, that intent gets lost when you start making statements about Peyton’s rumored ‘injury’ not being credible. I don’t stand for that kind of stuff here.
Just like this report on Dallas Clark, it too is a rumor.
Hopefully, one day very soon, I’ll be able to share the identity of the source on Peyton’s injury. But, that doesn’t mean I have to tolerate unnecessary shots at the stuff we report on here. Agree or disagree with it? Believe it or don’t believe? All that’s fine.
Attacking it and saying it has ‘no credibility’ crosses the line.

LOL
I wasn’t ‘attacking’ it. I brought it up cause people were pissed (and it’s already made its way to this thread through other comments). And now they wanna jump your ass for this rumor which is visible to everyone who has a twitter account. Yours was not. That’s it. Look I get your pissed that there is potentially something wrong with Dallas here, but biting my ass about it, when I was on your side, is kinda silly, no?

My WHOLE point in all this
Anyone with internet connection can see the Dallas rumor…the Peyton one? Not so much. That’s not an attack, that’s not a shot, its nothing. Sorry if you take it as one, that’s not my intentions. If I disagree with something you say, I voice my opinion appropriately. I don’t have to use backhanded comments to get my point across. Even if it may seem my comments were backhanded, they were not.

i'll probably get banned for this, but BBS, by definition that Peyton Injury rumor was not credible
You did not provide any sources, other than saying an anonymous source. A properly cited reference would make it somewhat credible, depending on the source. Just because you believe your source knows what he’s talking about doesn’t make it credible.

Getting too defensive
You say when Shefter says something that it must be true. If that’s the case, that must imply that other sources are not as credible as him. It was anonymous… you’re getting to defensive over this.

Thread
This thread is getting locked if people don’t drop this and focus on Dallas possibly being hurt. THAT is the focus of the article, not people questioning the credibility of this or that.
Again, one of my favorite players might be done for 2010. Patience level: Zero.
Everyone is warned. Stay. On. Topic.
SB Nation's Indianapolis Colts blogger at Stampede Blue and editor of SB Nation Indiana.
Come on dude seriously?
You are threatening your readers. People come here for Colts news and that is what we expect to get. Especially me being from TN its good to have a place where you can read news on your favorite team from city where they are located, instead of some reporter that lives all the way across country. Now the reason people are getting upset about this is because until you come out and say your source of the Peyton rumor its going to be hard to believe anything you say about anyone else. Yes I know this is all over twitter about Dallas but for fans that are just coming here to catch up on news for the day and see the Headline Dallas Clark is done for 2010 Season it kind of makes you think is this guy for real or not. Now on to the Peyton rumor as far as I see it it is not credible. What is credible to you may not be credible for us fans. And you refusing to say who told you this garbage makes it sound like you made it up yourself. I really don’t care if you block me or not because if I actually want factual information that I can’t count on being truthful then I can always read Paul Kuharsky. Unlike you he actually has some ties with the organization and ESPN he is more credible than you.

Totally agree TNCOLTS
1) My initially point wasn’t to argue the credibility of this report. It was to point out that the Manning story damaged your credibility. If you’re going to start posting rumors/breaking news .. you need to build up your credibility. There’s a reason we believe Adam Schefter when he has an “unnamed” source. He’s built up a good track record. This blog got off to a bad start. And I’m not sure the “technical director” at a local TV station = credible source, to me at least. And just because you have a good source doesn’t = credibility. You need a good track record and know when to get a second source, official comment, etc. That’s the difference between good journalists and poor ones, in my opinion.
2) If you can’t handle honest feedback/evaluation of your work, that’s just poor. I’m not a hater here. I like the blog a lot. A ton of respect for the analysis. I just don’t like this twist. Tell me I’m wrong. But ban me? I’m not a troll.

If true
Then yeah not a good thing, but Peyton has gotten us out of bigger messes. I still think we will have plenty weapons to get us to the Superbowl though.
Right
you still have a terrific offensive team.
It’s a little worrying the way you lost to Houston and Jacksonville, and i would be worried about your defense.
But in a year where no team seems dominant, you can get away with that it seems.

That’s bs. Not only did he come back into the game, but he was just interviewed the other day and was fine.
You should read 12th Horseman. Do it.
I also have Twitter.
Yes he finished the game and was fine just the other day as the above poster has stated… Getting sick of this site…
This 'site'
had nothing to do with the rumor. Its all over Twitter. The Peyton Manning injury was not. I was upset about that, but this is something totally different. This issue was not made by an ‘anonymous’ source.

Indianapolis Colts News and Updates
Whatever...
It just reaks more and more of a sleezy tabloid… You know I know a bunch of other Colts sites and not one of them has posted this rumor… Just saying you don’t HAVE to repost something just because its all over Twitter…
He looked pretty good
in the post-game locker room interview. I’m going to say that this rumor is false. At least I sure hope it is.
Agreed...this is from rotoworld
He tied Reggie Wayne and Austin Collie for the team lead with nine targets. Clark injured himself late in the game and stayed on the field for a bit before walking off, but he returned for the next series, so he should be fine. He’s had ho-hum showings three of the last four times out but remains an elite option at tight end.

Colts safeties hurt + Gijon Robinson signed instead of a safety = Dallas Clark out for season? Seems like a 2+2=17 sort of equation. #Colts

Maybe he just misses a few games
For all that we know, he might just miss a few games. But it would be a bad stretch of games to miss though, in November.
I doubt he misses any
if this untrue.
1) he got hurt, but came back out
2.) this a BYE week.
Our heads may be bloody, but they are unbowed. We will be back next year better than ever!
Indianapolis Colts News and Updates
Based on what???
If he is injured, is there a possibility that he misses a few games and they want Gijon Robinson for injury insurance? Heck yeah, it is very much possible.
He missed the Chargers game in 2007, he was in street clothes due to an injury or concussion while we played Craphonso Thorpe and Aaron Moorehead, so DC missing games is nothing new.
The problem is
When was the last time a rumor was false? (I don’t mean BBS’ rumor about Peyton)
Tamme, is it your time?
I hope it's
Wayne, Collie, Gonzo and Garcon…have fun defenses!

But still...
This better be false! We are in serious trouble without DC
"I’m very fast. I’m like Forest Gump except... I am not an idiot." - Michael Scott
if this is true
damn skins.. they knocked a couple out this year,, packers finley included, badly hurt addai and now this rumor about clack.. Just what we need , I was starting to think that some of the many drops this team had were caused by being fearful of being hit hard.. media highlights those kind of hits , they have to cause concern for safety in a player. Add the many injuries this team has had this season, how will this affect the other players mind state?
"We just sucked." - Tom Brady 9/19/2010
Geesh....
This team seems to be made of glass this year. I’ve never remembered injuries being so prevalent. Dallas is one of my favorite players, but even without him, I’m confident in Tamme and hopefully, Gonzo is almost ready to go. As long as this team has Manning, they’ll keep chugging along quite well.
actually
I was looking into dropped passes earlier, and it was hard to find information for each year, but for 2009 the Colts were 10th worst with Dallas having 7 (which is a lot).
Also, did anyone see the interesting article statistically breaking down injuries on 18to88?
Seems like we’re cursed, and we have one awful training / medical staff
Typical
Typical coach speak.
Like you said earlier, Tamme’s “next man up” moment to shine is here.
I still think it is only a few games
I still think DC will be out only for a few games and nothing of the sort for the entire year.
Did you guys think it may not be Clark but Tamme may be injured? I sure hope Dallas isn't seriously hurt
But this could be like ’06 when we thought Dallas tore his ACL and then he came back like 4 weeks later and played his mind out in the Playoffs.
Oh yeah, another 2006 resemblance
Sanders goes out. Our division road games all end in a loss. The last time we lost to the Texans. The last time our run D was continually ridiculed. Etc. etc., do we have to repeat everything about 2006? Does that mean we end up with a #3 seeding too in the AFC? :-)
To add to that
Sanders did come back later :-)
When did this blog turn into amateur hour?
This is EXACTLY the kind of garbage that should not be retweeted.
It’s a headline designed to generate traffic.. nothing more.
Here’s a tweet for your headlines:
BBS can’t keep staff, Blog suffers, relegated to gimmick headlines to pasify sheeply masses
This blog died the day you became more worried about site traffic than the Indianapolis Colts.
Go ahead and ban me… I won’t be back anyway!!

Apparently
its a hand/wrist injury for Dallas. This is according to Phil B and John Osher.
Phil B :
I have yet to look at game again, but it’s my understanding #Colts TE Dallas Clark suffered a left hand/wrist injury Sunday night.
Osher:
coach Jim Caldwell on hand injury to Dallas Clark. “He’s being evaluated.” Not much more than that on Clark rumor from Caldwell.
Our heads may be bloody, but they are unbowed. We will be back next year better than ever!
Indianapolis Colts News and Updates
And, hopefully, with two weeks of healing...
he’ll be back in time for the Texans!
Hmmm
On the injury to Clark:
Unless he tore a muscle or broke something that requires surgery, the team would not IR him. Even a mid level break/surgery could still have him back by the last week of the season at this point.
On BBS posting this rumor:
It’s a valid injury that the team has already made comments about as being valid. The rumor portion is that his injury is season ending. This is a VALID post and something that Colts fans would WANT to know about. The same was done for Sanders, despite no one being able to prove it at the time.
All BBS did was post up a potential serious issue, based on a rumor from a credible source here in Indy. Does it mean it’s fact? Not at all. Does it mean he’s right? Not at all…
The difference between this post and the Manning injury is that BBS has withheld all the information about who and how and why he got the information. In this instance, BBS posted who, what, and how he got the information. Again, this came across Twitter, something that EVERYONE IN AMERICA can read. Again, does not mean this is right, correct, accurate, etc…
Some of you people seriously need to get the brooms out of your rectum and get over it. I’m sick of watching threads turn into a bash session. I don’t really care who likes whom, this that or the other. Go do it somewhere else. I would like to talk about football, and my beloved Colts.
That is all..
