Notes from Colts win
Stampede Blue breaks down the Colts' 20-12 victory over the Giants on Sunday night. Fleener also suffered a concussion earlier in training camp, but was able to bounce back to play against the Giants. There is no word yet on his status for Week 3 of the preseason. How much practice time he is able to receive beforehand will likely determine whether Fleener can play against the Cleveland Browns on Saturday.
Fleener also dealt with shoulder problems as a rookie last season, and missed four games. He finished the year with 26 receptions for 281 yards and two touchdowns.
Fellow 2012 rookie tight end and teammate Dwayne Allen had 45 receptions for 521 yards and three touchdowns, though he is currently dealing with his own injury problems at the moment. Allen has been dealing with a foot injury, and finally stepped out of a walking boot over the weekend.
