Colts’ woes

Indianapolis Colts All-Pro guard Quenton Nelson was added Tuesday to the injury list after suffering the same foot injury as new quarterback Carson Wentz, who had a fragment from the metatarsal bone removed Monday.

Indianapolis Colts All-Pro guard Quenton Nelson was added Tuesday to the injury list after suffering the same foot injury as new quarterback Carson Wentz, who had a fragment from the metatarsal bone removed Monday. Nelson was scheduled to undergo the same procedure with the same doctor Tuesday in Indianapolis. Both are expected to miss five to 12 weeks, putting their availability for the Sept. 12 season opener against Seattle in jeopardy. There was one significant difference in the diagnosis: Wentz’s injury appeared to be the result of an old injury that flared up when he planted his foot for a throw Thursday while Nelson’s, Coach Frank Reich said, appeared to be the result of a condition he was born with. He got hurt Monday when a teammate apparently stepped on his foot. Nelson didn’t miss a start in his first three NFL seasons while earning AllPro and Pro Bowl honors every year.
