Colts Rookie Werner Out 4-6 Weeks With Injury

The Indianapolis Colts were pleased with their impressive 2012 NFL Draft Class, hoping they would bring their team to Super Bowl glory.
Last week, the Colts lost a 2013 Draft Class member, on top of the two from 2012 they had already lost to injuries.
Coach Chuck Pagano told the media last Monday that first-round selection Bjorn Werner will miss four to six weeks after sustaining a torn plantar fascia in his right foot in last Sunday's 37-3 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. He joins Vick Ballard and Dwayne Allen on the injury list.
The German-born rookie outside linebacker was picked 24th overall in the 2013 Draft from Florida State University where he earned All-American recognition and has been used mainly in nickle packages. So far in the season he has four tackles, one-half sack, and one quarterback pressure as a pass-rushing specialist behind starter Erik Walden.
Carl Johnson, who was acquired from the San Francisco 49ers before the start of the season will fill Werner's place.
Pagano said of Werner, "He was getting comfortable. You could see the confidence level rising. He was playing faster. It's a shame it happened, but it's part of the game."
