Michael Pittman Jr.'s Preseason Player AnalysisPittman is coming off his best season ever as the primary target for Gardner Minshew last season. He was more productive with Minshew than Anthony Richardson, so there are some red flags for Pittman.
The Colts also added an additional weapon in Adonai Mitchell, so Pittman’s target share is unlikely to continue as one of the highest in the NFL.
He clearly is talented and fairly consistent, but he is being overdrafted as a potential low-end WR1. A consistent low-end WR2 season is more realistic.
Colts Rule Out Michael Pittman Jr. (Back)
The Colts have ruled WR Michael Pittman Jr. out for Sunday's game against the Bills. He's officially listed with back and finger injuries and has missed practice all week. The back issue seems to be what's keeping him out this week, though. Pittman returned to last week's game after dislocating the finger.
Michael Pittman Has Finger Injury
Colts WR Michael Pittman dislocated a finger on his left hand in the fourth quarter of Sunday night's loss to the Vikings, he told the media on Wednesday. “(The finger) was like a right angle to my pinky," Pittman explained. “I knew it wasn’t right so I was like, ‘Hey, can you fix this?’ And (the medical staff) popped it back in for me." Pittman returned for the final drive of the Vikings game and is fully expected to play against the Bills this weekend. But it's another issue for a guy who's been battling a back injury for the past month. Pittman has totaled just eight catches for 128 yards and one TD over his last four games. He shouldn't be considered more than a lower-end WR3 right now.
Michael Pittman Out Multiple Weeks With Back Injury
Colts WR Michael Pittman is expected to miss "multiple weeks" with a back injury, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Pittman didn't practice on Wednesday, so this injury presumably occurred in the Week 5 loss to the Jaguars. We'll look for more details on the injury and Pittman's timetable for return, but Schefter adds that, "injured reserve is an option."
