Impact Of Wayne's Injury On Colts
Merril Hoge and Herm Edwards discuss the impact Reggie Wayne's injury will have on the Colts' offense.
Tests performed Monday confirmed that Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Reggie Wayne has a torn ACL, ending his season, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
Colts receiver Reggie Wayne suffered a season-ending ACL injury Sunday night that will end his streak of 189 consecutive games played.
Initial tests by doctors Sunday night showed that Wayne had injured his ACL in Sunday night's victory over the previously unbeaten Denver Broncos, according to league sources.
Wayne injured his knee when he tried to come back for an underthrown pass by quarterback Andrew Luck with 7:15 left in the Colts' 39-33 victory.
The 34-year-old Wayne has played in 189 straight games, the most among active players.
Wayne finished Sunday night's game with five catches for 50 yards.
Wayne remained on the ground for several minutes as some of his teammates, including Luck, receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey, safety Antoine Bethea and linebacker Robert Mathis, circled around him. With the crowd chanting "Reggie! Reggie! Reggie!" Wayne eventually got up and made his way to the sideline.
The Colts (5-2) have a bye next weekend before playing at Houston on Nov. 3.
ESPN NFL Insiders Adam Schefter and Chris Mortensen and ESPN.com Colts reporter Mike Wells contributed to this report.
