holy shit.

IndyStar actually had a really good article on this, if you can believe it. It was not a hatchet piece, but one that showed the humanity of Smith, and the compassion of the Colts organization.

Of course, Doyel did not write it, just in case there was some confusion.

Something like this, i am guessing, is an issue that could become a problem again, but at least he now has the right coping mechanism in place to better deal with it.

From a Colts fan perspective, it isn't a physical injury that impairs his production and he can get back to his former high level of play, so long as he is in a good place mentally.

Really glad that he managed to get the help he needed and didn't go down the awful route he spoke about regards suicide. I am sure the entire Colts organisation will be working closely with him to help maintain his current state of mind. Jim Irsay might be fairly closely working with him as it feels like it has been reported he has dealt with similar issues in the past.

Here's hoping that Braden is truly feeling like he is ready to come back and play ball and more importantly enjoy his family and future life.
