Report: Anthony Gonzalez Strains Knee Ligament, Out 2-6 Weeks

Early in the season opener Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Colts' No. 2 wideout Anthony Gonzalez left the game with a non-contact, apparent knee injury. After some evaluation in the locker room, reports say the preliminary diagnosis was that he'll miss anywhere from two to six weeks with a strained ligament in his right knee. There will be more testing Monday and the team will keep an eye on any swelling, but, for now, it appears he's on the shelf for a while.

The third-year receiver suffered the injury while running a route. It seemed a freakish-type injury, considering he wasn't making a hard cut with the ball nor was he hit.

In Gonzalez's absence, Pierre Garcon (3 catches for 24 yards) and Austin Collie (2 catches for 15 yards) saw more action in the Colts' passing game than expected. The heavy lifting, though, was done by Reggie Wayne. The star wideout caught 10 passes for 162 yards and 1 touchdown from Peyton Manning.

The Colts defeated the Jags 14-12.

Fantasy Spin:
Give Collie a look these next two weeks in large leagues. The Colts will need someone to take the pressure off Wayne and opposing defenses will surely begin to double-team Wayne with Gonzalez out. Obviously, tight end Dallas Clark remains the second option behind Wayne, but the Colts spread the ball around through the air enough that the guy third in line will have value.
