Colts' Saturday: Thibodeaux celebrating next to injured Foles was 'trash'

Indianapolis Colts interim head coach Jeff Saturday feels New York Giants pass-rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux showed a lack of respect by celebrating a sack next to Nick Foles, who laid on the ground injured.

"Tasteless from a celebration standpoint. Trash," Saturday said Monday, according to Gregg Doyel of Indy Star Sports.

Thibodeaux took down Foles late in the second quarter and proceeded to do a snow angel celebration on the ground next to the injured Foles. Trainers attended to the veteran signal-caller before he walked off the field and was carted to the locker room. The team later ruled him out for the rest of the game with a rib injury.

Saturday was upset that Foles' offensive linemen did not come to their quarterback's defense and stop Thibodeaux's celebration.

"Disappointed from the (offensive line) perspective and from teammates in general," Saturday added. "We’ll have a discussion about it."

A top-five pick in 2022, Thibodeaux told reporters postgame that he was not aware Foles was injured.

"After a sack, you celebrate," Thibodeaux said Sunday, according to ESPN. "I think when I did realize he was hurt, that's when we started getting up. When you are doing the celebration, you are not looking to see who is doing what. I hope he gets well, and I hope he is all right."

Foles' injury will keep him out of the regular-season finale, with Sam Ehlinger getting the start, the bench boss announced Monday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Veteran quarterback Matt Ryan will serve as Ehlinger's backup.
