The Indianapolis Colts released an unusual announcement today about how they're dealing with the injuries that are piling up on their offense.
"Indianapolis Colts OG-Jacques McClendon will wear jersey number 80 at Philadelphia this Sunday and will be listed as a tight end," read the one-sentence press release issued by the Colts' PR department.
The 324-pound McClendon certainly can't fill the void left by the injured Dallas Clark. McClendon won't be catching any deep balls from Peyton Manning, and he might not even be active for Sunday's game against the Eagles. But the move is the latest demonstration of how much injuries are affecting the Colts' roster this season.
Michael David Smith continues the documentation of the most absurd injury streak in franchise history.

If McClendon can't block then nobody can. If he plays Sunday, maybe Peyton will toss
the ball to him. I’d like to see an Eagle defender try to tackle him!
There's a thought...
McClendon = Klecko 2.0?

They have that Tennessee connection...
I’m sure he’s casually had a few receiving drills with him in practice.
Yup.
That would seem to be the indication.

They're standing around, talking, and what does Manning do when he's standing
around? He throws the football. Perfect, Klecko TD copy.
Fantasy Implications
Is there going to be a rush on McClendon in fantasy leagues like there was on Tamme?
Will McClendon even be listed in time in most fantasy leagues at a TE?
Do anyone really give a shit about McClendon and fantasy football?
6-2, 185
A smart move
This allows them to have 6 OLinemen on the field in some situations. Should help the run game.
Hope they use him a few times
On run situations
Pretty soon the team's gonna have to hold fan tryouts
like Mark Wahlberg in Invincible…..except it won’t suck. Peyton could blindly pick a group of fans of any gender and turn them all into pro bowlers. I feel like I have as good a shot as anyone. Seriously, though this is getting absurd. I’m afraid to wear any Colts gear outside of my house in fear of getting hit by a car or being stricken with swine flu.

Yeah?
Well I don’t like your hat!…….that’s not true, I’m just frustrated. It’s a great hat.

oh, Jacques will be active... with these injuries, anyone able to walk unaided will suit up

Gonzo!
Just read that Gonzo has been IR’d for the season. Looks like it might have been his last game with the Colts. At least he made a spectacular catch which contributed to the win!
