Don Shula Remarks On Colts Injury Situation
Baltimore AP coach Don Shula jokes about a relatively injury free Colts season while detailing key players who have been sidelined or returned. He notes John Unitas, Don Shinnick, Timmy Brown, Alex Hawkins, Jerry Hill, Jimmy Orr, and Terry Cole as important names affected. Earl Morrall thrived after replacement, guiding a 13 1 record and league passing title, with running back depth stressed ahead of the Western Conference playoff versus Minnesota. Cole is out with a broken rib, Hill aims to return, and Matte will start at halfback amid a tenuous fullback position.
