Colts

Colts HC Chuck Pagano wouldn’t offer any incite as to why OLB Bjoern Werner was inactive for the AFC Championship game.

“You’re sitting in your chair and sitting in your seat, and you’re the writer,” Pagano said, via ESPN’s Mike Wells. “You can read into it however you want to read and write however you want to write.”

GM Ryan Grigson later said that Werner was “working through some things, some dings and he had slowed down.”

According to Wells, Werner dealt with knee and shoulder injuries last year.
