The Indianapolis Colts placed wide receiver Griff Whalen on injured reserve as part of a flurry of team-announced roster moves after Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Houston Texans.
Whalen suffered a rib fracture after making catch late in Sunday's loss, resulting in a fumble recovered by Houston cornerback Kareem Jackson. The four-year veteran played in all 14 games this season, catching 19 passes for 205 yards and a touchdown while also returning kicks and punts on special teams.
The 25-year-old Whalen was also involved in what was arguably the most notable play of the season for the Colts, serving as the center for the botched fake-punt attempt during the team's Week 6 loss to the New England Patriots.

Griff Whalen caught 5-of-6 targets for 73 yards Week 9 against the Broncos.
Whalen was tackled inside the five in the second quarter and converted two important third downs in the second half. Whalen now has 11 targets over the last two games after seeing four total in the first seven weeks. He should be pushing Andre Johnson for snaps.

Colts placed WR Griff Whalen on injured reserve with broken ribs, ending his season.
His season ends with 19 catches for 205 yards and one touchdown. Whalen, 25, is a borderline NFL talent whose familiarity with the Colts' coaching staff and "grit" have kept him around for three years. An impending exclusive rights free agent, Whalen will return to compete for a roster spot in 2016. Mon, Dec 21, 2015 03:51:00 PMhttp://www.rotoworld.com/stats/nfl/7949/griff-whalen
