Colts Lose Another Game-Changer in Austin Collie

The Indianapolis Colts can't seem to catch a break on the injury front in 2010. The team's latest casualty is wide receiver Austin Collie, who on Wednesday was placed on injured reserve after suffering a concussion Sunday in the second quarter of the Colts' 34-24 win against the Jacksonville Jaguars at Lucas Oil Stadium.
