Brian Spurlock/USA TODAY SportsColts receiver Reggie Wayne suffered a season-ending ACL injury Sunday night that will end his streak of 189 consecutive games played.

"We hate to lose anybody, but this one stings," Pagano said. "You just don't replace guys like 87. But he'll be back, I know how he's wired. I know how his DNA is.
"After the conversation I just had with him, wait and see. We'll all put on the clothes for Reggie and we'll help him get it back," Pagano said.
Wayne injured his knee when he tried to come back for an underthrown pass by quarterback Andrew Luck with 7:15 left in the Colts' 39-33 victory over the previously unbeaten Denver Broncos.
The 34-year-old Wayne has played in 189 straight games, the most among active players.
Wayne finished Sunday night's game with five catches for 50 yards.
Wayne remained on the ground for several minutes as some of his teammates, including Luck, receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey, safety Antoine Bethea and linebacker Robert Mathis, circled around him. With the crowd chanting "Reggie! Reggie! Reggie!" Wayne eventually got up and made his way to the sideline.
The Colts (5-2) have a bye next weekend before playing at Houston on Nov. 3.
