"If Jacob has to play, then Jacob will be ready," Colts Head Coach Frank Reich said earlier this week. "I think Jacob's been doing a really good job. He's really been dialed in."
Wentz's injuries Sunday continued a pattern. A bone fragment in his foot cost him three weeks of training camp and a bout with COVID-19 cost him time as well, but as Reich pointed out, he has been on the field when it counted this season.
"My history with Carson is that he's a pretty fast healer and that he's tough, and if there's any chance that he can play with these ankle sprains, he'll play," Reich said. "Obviously, it's an incredibly big game. We're not holding back anything. This is a big game. If he can play, he'll play."
The Colts offensive line is a factor, which is surprising because it has been considered the best offensive line in football over the past two seasons. But injuries and new starters have slowed them, and the result has been six sacks and 21 quarterback pressures through two games. More telling: in a critical moment with the outcome still in doubt and the ball at the Rams 1, the Colts folded with three consecutive runs that went nowhere and a nine-yard sack of Wentz.
"That's unacceptable and we have to be better in that situation," All-Pro left guard Quentin Nelson said. "We have to block better and get in there, just punch it in. We're going to fix some things this week and get back to playing Indianapolis Colts football."
In Nashville, they're still marveling over the way running back Derrick Henry put the Titans on his back and powered them to a come-from-behind victory in Seattle Sunday. Henry posted a career-high 35 carries for 182 yard and three touchdowns, added a career-high six receptions for 55 yards in an AFC Offensive Player of the Week performance.
