Luckily for the Colts, Gonzalez’s knee injury may turn out to be not as bad as it looked. Before the team announced Gonzalez is only expected to miss 2-6 weeks, Colts quarterback Peyton Manning talked to the press about the injury to the third year wideout:
Manning ‘Sick’ Over Gonzalez Injury
“I’m sick about Gonzalez, whatever his injury is going to be,” Manning said. “I didn’t see it, but I actually asked (Jacksonville cornerback Rashean) Mathis, ‘What happened?’“He said, ‘I didn’t even touch him. He went down.’ I’ve got a sick feeling about that. He’s worked so hard this offseason. I certainly hope it’s not a season-ending injury. I hope he’s back soon. He’s a big part of our offense.”
“You’ve got to move on, but you’ve got to honor and respect him,” he said of Gonzalez. “We need him back. For us to be the type of team that we want to be, we’re going to need Anthony Gonzalez back.”
