The Facts: Dorsett suffered a fracture in his lower leg during Sunday's loss to the Saints were confirmed on Monday. Dorsett will have surgery on Tuesday and said that it was a clean break that avoided any nerve or ligament damage, which leaves him to lament the timing of the injury.
Diehards Line:
“I was literally just starting to get in the flow and get in the game plan more,” Dorsett said, via the Indianapolis Star. “I was getting more involved and we had a lot more four-wide [sets] in. I was playing a little running back. Things happen. It’s football. But I don’t expect a drop-off when I get back.” The timeline for his return is set at 4-6 weeks, which would get him back before the end of the regular season if all goes according to plan. Receiver Quan Bray was promoted from the practice squad to cover for Dorsett's absence.
