The Indianapolis Colts had already made a quarterback change before the halfway point of the season, and now they have parted ways with one of their top assistants. On Tuesday, the team announced that it had relieved offensive coordinator Marcus Brady of his duties following a 3-4-1 start. In what head coach Frank Reich called an “incredibly hard decision” with the lack of offensive production someone had to bear the brunt. ***** The Colts statistically have the No. 18 offense in the league, as they average 339.4 yards of total offense per game. The run game has struggled, however, as Indy averages just 87.8 rushing yards per game — which ranks fourth-worst in the league. Although Brady did oversee the offense it’s actually head Coach Frank Reich who calls the plays, if the offense doesn’t pick up the production other changes may be coming.

Camper leads the team with 46 receptions for 569 yards, and Javon Swinton is now listed as a starter in Camper’s absence. Indiana coach Tom Allen said on Monday that linebacker and team captain Cam Jones remains week to week.

Aaron Casey moved from mike to stinger linebacker when Jones went down, and he’s tied for seventh in the Big Ten with 66 total tackles and tied for third in tackles for loss.
