Colts wide receiver Reggie Wayne is prepared to step up offensively in the wake of injuries to Austin Collie and Dallas Clark.

Colts quarterback Peyton Manning wants to focus on football and won't discuss a new contract with the team until after the season. Manning will become an unrestricted free agent this coming offseason. "Peyton didn't want any contract discussions or distractions during the season," agent Tom Condon said. "We never really got started. We'll see what we can get done after the season is over."

Colts tight end Dallas Clark has been placed on the team's injured reserve and is done for the season. Clark will undergo season-ending wrist surgery in the coming days. He met with three surgeons before making the decision. "It's unfortunate, but it's been confirmed that surgery is necessary to repair the injury to my wrist," Clark said in a statement released by the team. "I look forward to supporting my teammates the rest of this season and rehabilitating my wrist back to full strength for next season." Clark ranks third on the team with 37 catches for 347 yards after catching 100 passes for 1,106 yards and 10 touchdowns last season.

The Colts suspended punter Pat McAfee on Wednesday, a little more than 12 hours after he was arrested for public intoxication. Indianapolis police said McAfee took a pre-dawn swim in a city canal and told them "I am drunk" as he tried to explain why he was sopping wet in a Broad Ripple neighborhood.

Colts tight end Dallas Clark has a hand/wrist injury that will sideline him indefinitely, according to league sources. "He's being evaluated," Colts coach Jim Caldwell said. It is not known how long Clark will be out or the exact nature of the injury itself.

The Colts will be without running back Donald Brown and wide receiver Anthony Gonzalez on Sunday night against the Redskins. Brown's hamstring has kept him out the past two games, while Gonzalez hasn't played since Week 1 because of an ankle injury.

Former NFL quarterback and current analyst Ron Jaworski believes that time may be catching up to Colts quarterback Peyton Manning. "The last couple weeks, as I've studied Peyton Manning, he has not been real sharp," Jaworski said on ESPN's Mike and Mike in the Morning. "Maybe there does come a time when the skills start to diminish a little bit." Jaworski isn't saying that Manning is washed up, but that he isn't making throws he did earlier in his career. "I'm not saying it is, but I'm seeing little signs now that the deep sideline throws are not as accurate as they used to be, there's not the zip on the ball that there used to be," Jaworski said. "Maybe father time might be catching up with Peyton Manning a little bit."

Colts owner Jim Irsay says that the team has had discussions with franchise quarterback Peyton Manning on a contract extension. "We've had discussions," Irsay said.
