The Colts have ruled out wide receiver Austin Collie and safety Bob Sanders for Sunday night's game against the Chargers. Collie will be held out after leaving last weekend's game in the first quarter. He had missed Indy's Nov. 14 game with a concussion sustained in a frightening collision a week earlier at Philadelphia.

Colts wide receiver Austin Collie left Sunday afternoon's game against the Patriots in the first half with another concussion. Collie suffered an ugly looking concussion against Philadelphia two weeks ago and sat out last week's victory over Cincinnati.

Colts wide receiver Austin Collie isn't talking about the concussion he suffered in Week 9 against the Eagles. "I understand everyone's concern, but I prefer not to discuss the specifics of the play in Philadelphia. I hope that can be respected," he said in a written statement. "It was a football play. And that's part of football. Now I want to focus my efforts on continuing the gradual process of getting back on the field and helping our team." Collie has not spoken with reporters since the frightening scene Nov. 7.

The Colts have ruled out wide receiver Austin Collie for Sunday's game against the Bengals. Collie is recovering from a concussion suffered against the Eagles in Week 9. He has 45 receptions for 502 yards and six touchdowns this season.

No members of the Philadelphia secondary will be fined for their hit on Colts wide receiver Austin Collie, which resulted in a concussion on Sunday. Collie was hit by Eagles safety Quintin Mikell, then took a shot to the helmet from fellow safety Kurt Coleman's helmet in the second quarter. Coleman was penalized for unnecessary roughness. The NFL said because the helmet-to-helmet contact was a result of Collie being driven toward Coleman by Mikell's legal hit, there will be no fine.

The Colts aren't sure when wide receiver Austin Collie will return to the field. Collie was taken off the field during the second quarter of the team's loss to the Eagles in Philadelphia on Sunday. He suffered a concussion and was well enough to fly back to Indianapolis with the team. Under the league's new concussion rules, Collie will be given a baseline test to see how his answers match up with those he provided before the season started.

Colts wide receiver Austin Collie was taken off the field on a stretcher in the second quarter of the team's game against the Eagles on Sunday. Collie took a pair of big hits from Philadelphia's secondary on what was ruled an incomplete pass over the middle. The back of Collie's helmet hit the field hard and the severity of his injury was immediately clear. Jim Nance announced on CBS at the start of the second half that Collie was sitting up and alert in the locker room.

The Colts have placed wide receiver Anthony Gonzalez on the injured reserve with a left knee injury. Gonzalez suffered the injury on Monday night against the Texans when he was tackled out of bounds.

Colts owner Jim Irsay was prepared to offer quarterback Peyton Manning a huge contract extension during the team's recent bye-week. However, Manning and his agent declared their preference to wait until after the season to complete a deal that should make Manning the highest-paid player in NFL history. "Any negotiation is a two-way street and we were ready to roll and we had a proposal, but they wanted to wait," Irsay said. "That's OK because every player is different. We had a bye week, and we thought we could have gotten [negotiations] rolling."
