Colts interim coach Jeff Saturday had yet another head-scratching exchange with a reporter on Monday, this time in regard to an injury to starting quarterback Matt Ryan.
Speaking to reporters on the heels of a 54–19 blowout loss to the Cowboys—in which Indianapolis allowed 33 points in the fourth quarter—Saturday spoke about Ryan, who turned the ball over four times in the team’s third straight defeat. When asked if he thought Ryan’s shoulder injury from earlier in the season was affecting his play, the interim coach made a rather confusing admission.
“Um, I don’t think so,” Saturday responded. “That’d be a question you’d ask him, in all honesty. I don’t get into injuries with players. They tell me they’re good to go, I believe them and I’ve never questioned anybody. So I haven’t asked him if his shoulder is hurting him.
