The Indianapolis Colts placed rookie wide receiver Parris Campbell on the injured reserve list Monday after he suffered a broken foot against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
It’s another injury on a long list of ailments for the second-round pick in his rookie year but give Campbell credit for trying to make the most out of his snaps. Despite breaking his foot in the first quarter of the game, Campbell played through it and wound up playing 49% of the offensive snaps.
Head coach Frank Reich confirmed the injury during Monday’s conference call with the media.
Parris Campbell broke his foot yesterday. Played through it.

Campbell’s once-promising rookie season is one that will ultimately be filled with disappointment due to injuries. He dealt with several injuries starting in training camp. They include a nagging hamstring injury, an abdomen injury and the fractured hand in Week 9.
It is difficult to fully analyze Campbell’s rookie season because of all the injuries and the lack of consistency in the passing game. He never truly had a breakout game, and it seems that will have to wait until 2020.
The Colts have some major additions to make to the wide receiver corps this offseason, but Campbell will be looking to come back from this injury to hopefully carve out a role in Year 2.
