The Indianapolis Colts are expected to lose wide receiver Devin Funchess for the remainder of the season as they aren’t planning to remove him from the injured reserve list.
This move shouldn’t come as a massive surprise as it appeared Funchess was recovering slower than expected from the injury he suffered in Week 1 against the Los Angeles Chargers.
The Colts signed Funchess on a one-year deal this offseason but he didn’t have a chance to make any type of lasting impact. On an offense that is sorely lacking wide receiver options, should Funchess get another shot?
Turning just 26 years old during the upcoming offseason, the Colts could re-sign Funchess to another one-year deal. It wouldn’t cost the same as the $10 million deal he signed in 2019 and the team is in desperate need of depth at the wide receiver position.
Funchess is still a talented wide receiver—enough to warrant another chance from head coach Frank Reich and general manager Chris Ballard. But it also depends on how they feel the bone is healing.
Seeing as it is taking him longer than expected to recover from the broken collarbone, it isn’t clear how they might feel about his future as an impact player in the offense.
Funchess didn’t even finish one game with the Colts before breaking his collarbone in the fourth quarter of the loss against the Chargers. Since then, the Colts have gotten very little production from their wide receiver corps.
What say you Colts fans, should Funchess get another cheap, one-year deal from the Colts?
