The hits just keep on coming for the Indianapolis Colts.
According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, wide receiver Chester Rogers suffered a fracture in his knee during his team's loss to the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. Rogers is undergoing further testing on Monday, but it appears that his season is over.
Rogers is just the latest Colts receiver to suffer an injury.
Back in Week 1, prized offseason signing Devin Funchess sustained a collarbone injury that landed him on the injured reserve list. Meanwhile, No. 1 wideout T.Y. Hilton is nursing a calf injury, and rookie Parris Campbell has been sidelined as a result of hand surgery.
Not only that but tight end Eric Ebron was recently placed on the injured reserve list due to ankle issues, leaving quarterback Jacoby Brissett with limited options in the aerial attack.
Rogers has not made much of an impact for Indianapolis this season, logging just 16 catches for 179 yards and a couple of touchdowns, but with all of the injuries, he was expected to play a pivotal role during the stretch run.
Plus, the 25-year-old had a rather large role in the Colts' offense in 2018, catching 53 passes for 485 yards and a pair of scores.
Rogers, who played his collegiate football at Grambling State, went undrafted but eventually landed with Indianapolis in 2016. He totaled 19 grabs for 273 yards during his rookie campaign, and the following year, he snared 23 balls for 284 yards while reaching the end zone once.
The fading Colts have lost four of their last five games to fall to 6-6 on the year.
