Colts 3rd year tight end Jelani Woods is expected to miss 4 months after surgery to repair his injured toe, described as grade 3 turf toe.  The Colts say they are hopeful that he can return near the end of the season to aid in a playoff push.

The Colts have had high expectations for Jelani Woods since drafting him, but they have had to shelve those expectations since he arrived in Indianapolis due to injuries.  The latest news out of Colts camp is that they will have to continue to wait to see their tight end on the field due to toe surgery for the Colts third year TE.  Woods is expected to miss 3-6 months with surgery on what has been described as a grade 3 turf toe.

Jelani Woods was a popular off season sleeper because of his enormous measurables and athleticism.  He will now likely miss a second consecutive year because of injury, and the promising career is being derailed by injury.  Woods was going undrafted in redraft leagues, and in bestball he was TE32.
