The Colts' won the battle and lost another quarterback. Rookie Sam Ehlinger suffered a knee injury that will keep him out 5-6 weeks. This comes after Carson Wentz has already missed time with foot problems. Wentz could -- should? -- be back for the opener. If not, Jacob Eason and Brett Hundley are the QBs also on the roster.
