Injury Central: Javhid Best and Austin Collie Both Active for Week 5

Filed under:

Jahvid Best - Austin Collie

Jahvid Best burst onto the scene with two rushing touchdowns in each of his first two games. Since then he's been kept from the end zone and only rushed the ball 19 times in two games for 76 yards.

Whether you believe his mediocrity over the last two weeks is a result of his turf toe injury or the fact that defenses are finding ways to stop him, you should be concerned about Sunday's game against St. Louis.

Best is questionable for the game, and if he does play, it will be on the turf in Detroit -- not a great place to rehab a turf toe injury.

Twice this season Austin Collie has pulled in more than 10 catches in a game. He's also scored a touchdown in each of his first four games.

Collie has been slowed in practice this week by a foot injury and one report from ESPN's John Clayton says that Collie will likely not play. A conflicting report from Phillip Wilson of The Indianapolis Star says that Collie may give it a try.

The only thing certain is that you have to wait for a report from the Colts. If Collie is playing, you must start him.

As we always do with "Injury Central," we'll keep this post updated with all the latest pre-kickoff information on the players listed. And don't forget to stop by our Fantasy Football Tailgate chat if you need last-minute help.
