I actually had a low-back fracture, so it was just a little thing in there, just having to manage that. That "little" injury was bad enough that Pittman originally believed he'd have to be placed on injured reserve.
He had his fewest catches and receiving yards (808) since his rookie season in 2020. My numbers were obviously down, and that's frustrating.
Colts' training staff and medical team informed him there was a path to playing with the injury if he could deal with the discomfort.
Asked why he persevered through the injury, Pittman said he did it for his teammates.
