Anthony Gonzalez Injury Update: Knee Injury Likely MCL Sprain, Initial Diagnosis 2-6 Weeks

anthony-gonzalez-injury update, sprained mcl, miss 2-6 weeksJust caught on PFT that Anthony Gonzalez left the Colts-Jags game today with an apparent knee injury. He was reportedly unable to put any weight on the knee as he exited.

The source for the PFT report was RotoWorld, who said that Gonzalez “went down in a heap without any contact.” That’s never good.

With Marvin Harrison now no longer on the Colts, Gonzalez is being counted on to provide consistent production opposite Reggie Wayne in the Colts attack. Any extended time missed by Gonzalez will force Pierre Garcon and rookie Austin Collie into the lineup.

More to come when it’s available.

Update: ProFootballTalk is now reporting (via Jason La Canfora of NFL.com) that Anthony Gonzalez will miss 2-6 weeks with what is being called a likely MCL sprain.

As always with injuries that happen on Sunday, will have to wait until further tests are conducted tomorrow to know for sure.
