When will Bob Sanders return?

Colts coach Jim Caldwell is playing it intentionally vague when naming a timetable for Bob Sanders' return. From John Oehser:
"Probably the biggest thing on that is we feel obviously he's going to be inside that 5-to-6 week window," Caldwell said. "He's making good progress. He's coming along. Whenever he's ready, we'll put him out there. He's doing well."
No offense to coach, but if Sanders does not return until after Week Five, it would have made more sense to place him on the PUP list and retained safety Matt Giordano. The only reason to keep Sanders on the active roster is the Colts have to sense that he will be back sooner rather than later.
Regardless, it makes sense to play it vague. While Melvin Bullitt is a high quality safety who can certainly get the job done, Sanders is a difference maker. He changes the complexion of games and makes special plays that often help the Colts win.
Plus, there's just the overall fear factor. Bob Sanders flat out intimidates people.
So, if I had to guess, I'd say he'll be back by Week Four, which is a home game against the Seattle Seahawks. That game could also mark the return of Edgerrin James, who signed with the Seahawks a few weeks ago.

Couldn't have said it better
I would be very disappointed if Sanders is out until week 5…b/c it would have just made a little more sense to keep Giordano and let Sanders stay out until week 6 on PUP. If he were on PUP would he still be able to practice? I know Giordano wasn’t the best cover man, but he was a good tackler which is obviously something we need to see more of on defense.

Im sure he will be back before week 5
I think maybe week 3 or 4 like you said he will be back. Hes a difference maker like you said, so they want to keep their cards as close to their chest for as long as they can to make it harder for defences to plan against them.
I just hope to god they dont have to play Francisco as a safety

Polian WNDE 1260 Interview
Polian didn’t say it outright, but almost guaranteed Sanders won’t be ready this week…he then went on to infer it would be a few weeks out before Sanders returns. At least that’s what I got out of the interview.
I am guessing week 3.

4 to 5 weeks in Colts terms means the season is over. “He is progressing nicely” is terms for oh hell now what do we do. lol

Why did they even take him off of the PUP list?
If it is that long of a timeframe. I bet he won’t be back until Week 6.

I'll bet they think he'll be ready for Tennessee (week 5)
And because of the importance of the division game, it was more important to activate him than to not have him available for that game.
As a side note, in this case, I hate being right.

Having Bob out there is almost a bonus for me now…I am so used to him being injured that it doesn’t even bother me anymore like it used to. That, and a more talented roster all around, and I don’t lose any sleep over it.

Replaying last year
For me, this annual medical drama with Sanders is getting very stale.
Meanwhile back on the field, the Colts don’t have an established backup for Brackett.
If Brackett gets injured, the Colts will have to plug in a replacement that is of questionable quality.
The Colts had a year to address this issue and I don’t think they did much of anything about it.
Yet, roster positions are taken by players that may or may not be able to provide service for more than a few games.

I agree
The Raiders or Broncos would gladly give up a second rounder for him. It’s not like they were going to draft anyone good with that pick anyways.

trade hime for what!?!
This is the first time he is really trying to get healthy. Let him. We got more beef up front now so that means less of his gun slingering style of play. Also i know Coyers defense allows safety blitzes FS an SS so atlease when he does the will be more impactful.

I don’t think he will have any trade value left after this year unless he miraculously plays the last 11 or so regular season games and we win the Super Bowl

Indeed
He’s not worth it if he’s only around half the season EVERY season. He’s a playmaker, no doubt. But you can’t make plays if you aren’t on the field.

5 games is a third of the season already

So why would any team want to trade for him?
Since they would get his salary too. If he’s not worth it for us, he’s not worth it for another team.
He will not be traded and he will not be cut, since that doesn’t free up any money anyway.

Starting to get a little out of hand!!
Don’t get me wrong I love the guy
but he has not changed the “complexion of a game
or made a big play in quite some time” and I might
catch some heat from my fellow Colts breathren
but if he cannot give us at least 9 games this season
I say show em the door and move on.
I think our organization has been very generous
to him, we have gave him a lot more time to nurse
injuries, more so than other teams would have.

We are running out of excuses to give you.

It used to be that we could count on him to be healthy enough to play in the playoffs and help the defense. Last year I considered him a non-factor in the SD playoff loss, in large part because he was so rusty from being out for so long during the regular season.
Like I said above, I don’t even really care about it anymore. I like Bullitt now.

He had just won DPOY. If the Colts let him walk there would have been mass outrage from the fanbase.
I understand what you are saying, and yes, it is frustrating. But, in defense of the Colts he was coming off being the best defensive player in the NFL.

Bob will play two regular season games this year
Week 6 and Week 15. By Week 15 a playoff spot is locked up and they rest him for Week 16 and Week 17.

I know the injury situation is frustrating, but don't fly off the handle and exaggerate
Bob has never missed that many games, and we all remember his return in the season he was the closest to it. Reports are the knee is fine, he just has to get his leg strength back up to where he can play.
and you’ve been around too long and are too well informed for that kind of line about Scott. Scott asked for a mega-contract and his agent wouldn’t bring him back to Indy after no one would give it to him.

Bethea, Bullit, Giordano, Silva
I know Giordano is average in coverage, but the dude
could play the run, which is why we put so much stock
in Sanders,
Silva is gonna take some time but the kid is nasty,

Bethea, is a pro bowler and a beast in coverage
Bullitt flat out just wants to eat your children, for lunch

And that quote was my contribution to a “Bob Sanders Facts” post somewhere.
So yeah. Good to know I’m so quotable :)
On the topic at hand, we know that Sanders is going to be out. I’d rather have him out the first couple games then have him out the last couple games. Better to be around for the stretch run and playoffs than miss them.

He’s Wayne’s mentor, father figure and runs a label that Wayne is signed to.
from wiki
At age eleven, he met Bryan [Birdman] Williams, rapper and owner of Cash Money Records. Lil Wayne recorded freestyle raps on Williams’ answering machine; Williams would eventually mentor the young Carter and include him in Cash Money-distributed songs

I think Bob comes back Week 3 against Arizona, so he can eviscerate Boldin and Fitzgerald. At least I hope so because I have nightmares of Fitzgerald doing to the Colts what he did to the Steelers (an excellent defense, as we all know) in the Super Bowl. Or worse.
Bullitt starts on about 28 of the other 31 teams, so I’m fine with Melvin. It’s just that when Bob’s at the top of his game (and his health) he is the most difference making defensive player in the league. Ed Reed is a better pass defender and ballhawk. Troy Polomalu is a great leader. Both of them are first-ballot Hall of Famers. But when he’s right and healthy—which unfortunately for us exceedingly rare—Bob Sanders is the best safety in the NFL.
But. But. But. We’ve got to get value for our money. We’ve got to get Bob on the field. If that means 3 weeks or 5 weeks, cool. Do what it takes to get it right. But here, now, in 2009, with a realistic chance to win it all, it’s time, Bob, it’s time.
The fault, dear Brutus, lies not in the stars, but in ourselves.

Bob Sanders is a tremendous player. But nevertheless, he is always hurt. Colts need to somehow get rid of him while his trade value is still pretty high.
