SOURCE: Mike Garafolo, USA Today | Insight: Collie played one game last season before suffering a ruptured patella tendon in his right knee.

Description: Indianapolis won't re-sign wide receiver Austin Collie according to Indianapolis Star beat writer Mike Chappell. | Insight: Injuries have caused Collie to miss 22 games over the last three seasons. At age 27, it's not too late for Collie to resurrect his career but the clock is definitely ticking. | | |

Description: Colts coach Chuck Pagano said Austin Collie (knee) suffered a ruptured patellar tendon and is out for the year, according to Colts beat writer Mike Chappell. | Insight: Collie was making his 2012 debut after sitting out the first two games with lingering concussion symptoms. It's an unfortunate situation for a player who has struggled to stay on the field throughout his career. Donnie Avery is the team's clear-cut No. 2 receiver with Collie out. | | |

Description: Indianapolis wideout Austin Collie left Sunday's game against Jacksonville with a knee injury.

Description: Adam Schefter reports Colts wideout Austin Collie will be active for Sunday's game against Jacksonville. Collie missed the first two games of the year because of a concussion. | Insight: Collie has never recorded more than 676 receiving yards in a season so we're not overly excited about his fantasy potential. Collie will be coming off the bench on Sunday, so don't expect Donnie Avery's fantasy value to be affected too drastically by Collie's return. | | |

Description: Indianapolis receiver Austin Collie (concussion) practiced fully for the third straight day Friday. | Insight: It appears that Collie will finally get back on the field. Whether he can make it through four quarters is another story. If Collie starts, downgrade Donnie Avery who has been targeted 18 times in two games. | | |
| 9/20/2012 5:03:00 PM |
Description: Indianapolis receiver Austin Collie (concussion) practiced fully for the second straight day Thursday, according to Colts owner Jim Irsay. | Insight: Collie didn't practice last Thursday after he was a full-go Wednesday so this is a good sign. Still, Collie is no guarantee to play Sunday and QB Andrew Luck has built chemistry with Donnie Avery so we'd roll with another option Sunday. | | |

Description: Indianapolis receiver Austin Collie is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings. | Insight: Collie has been dealing with concussion symptoms for about a month now. He was cleared for contact this week but he was then downgraded to doubtful later in the week. | | |

Description: Injured Indianapolis receiver Austin Collie was unable to practice on Friday. He's doubtful for the Colts' Week 2 matchup versus the Vikings. | Insight: Collie has been dealing with concussion symptoms for about a month now. He's very unlikely to play on Sunday and could be in danger of missing Week 3's game against Jacksonville as well. | | |

Description: According to Phillip Wilson of the Indianapolis Star, Colts receiver Austin Collie (concussions) wasn't feeling 100-percent after practicing on Wednesday and missed Thursday's practice. | Insight: It's looking less and less likely that Collie will be ready to go in Week 2. Plan accordingly. | | |
| 9/13/2012 5:59:00 PM |
Description: Colts receiver Austin Collie (concussion) was held out of practice Thursday after fully participating Wednesday, according to Adam Caplan of thesidelineview.com. | Insight: Collie has been cleared for contact, so it's unclear if this was a precautionary measure or if Collie wasn't really a full go Wednesday. You'll recall that Collie was inactive for Week 1 after Colts coach Chuck Pagano had deemed him a "full-go." Now he was listed as a full participant in practice one day before being held out the next. It's going to be difficult to trust the Indianapolis coaching staff this season when it comes to disclosing injury information. | | |
| 9/12/2012 1:28:00 PM |
Description: Colts receiver Austin Collie (concussion) has been cleared to play in Sunday's game against Minnesota, according to coach Chuck Pagano. | Insight: Collie should start opposite Reggie Wayne and be a viable WR3 fantasy option. With Andrew Luck at quarterback, the Colts showed in Week 1 that they are not afraid to throw the ball. | | |
| 9/9/2012 11:46:00 AM |
Description: Colts receiver Austin Collie, plagued by concussion symptoms for most of the preseason, is being held out of Sunday's season opener against the Bears. | Insight: Donnie Avery will pick up the start in Collie's absence. Collie should be back for Week 2's game against Minnesota. | | |
| 9/6/2012 6:36:00 PM |
Description: According to the Indianapolis Star, Colts receiver Austin Collie (concussions) didn't confirm that he's been cleared to play Sunday. | Insight: Colts coach Chuck Pagano said Collie was a "full go" early this week and the receiver has been fully participating in practice, but it's possible he hasn't received full clearance from team doctors yet. We wouldn't recommend starting him this week. | | |
| 9/3/2012 8:56:00 PM |
Description: Colts receiver Austin Collie was a full participant at practice on Monday. Until today, Collie's participation had been limited following a concussion he suffered earlier this preseason. | Insight: It looks like Collie is a go for Sunday's game against Chicago, though we wouldn't risk taking him in the early rounds of any fantasy drafts given his well-documented injury history. | | |
| 8/28/2012 4:21:00 PM |
Description: According to Phillip Wilson of the Indianapolis Star, Colts coach Chuck PAgano said Austin Collie (concussion) should be ready for the season opener. | Insight: Collie has had four concussions in the last 21 months, but he has stated that he won't retire. The receiver was working as the No. 2 wideout in the team's base set prior to the injury, and he'll also play in the slot in three receiver sets. Collie is worth a late-round flier in PPR leagues. | | |
| 8/20/2012 6:41:00 PM |
Description: Indianapolis wide receiver Austin Collie's agent, Don Yee, signed Monday that it would be incorrect and premature to conclude that his client suffered another concussion Sunday, according to ESPN. | Insight: The Indianapolis Star reported Monday that Collie had been officially diagnosed with his fourth concussion in the last 21 months, but Yee rejected that conclusion Monday. Still, drafting Collie at this point would be extremely risky given his history with head trauma. | | |
| 8/20/2012 5:27:00 PM |
Description: Indianapolis wide receiver Austin Collie has officially been diagnosed with a concussion, according to Phil Wilson of the Indianapolis Star. | Insight: Collie has suffered four concussions in the past 21 months. It's going to be tough drafting him with that type of history. | | |
| 8/19/2012 9:29:00 PM |
Description: Indianapolis wide receiver Austin Collie left Sunday's exhibition game early because of a head injury. He's being checked now for concussion-like symptoms. | Insight: If this is indeed a concussion, it will be the fourth one Collie has suffered in his last three seasons. Collie's career-high in receiving yards is only 676, so regardless of his health, there isn't a lot of upside here. | | |
| 8/9/2012 11:52:00 AM |
Description: According to ESPN.com, Colts receiver Austin Collie is operating as the No. 2 receiver in two-wide sets in training camp. | Insight: With Pierre Garcon out of the picture in Indianapolis, Collie will work as an every down receiver, playing on the outside in the team's two tight end base set and in the slot when the team brings an extra wide receiver on the field. With accurate rookie Andrew Luck under center, Collie could have deep league value, especially in PPR formats. | | |
