Is the end of seeing Bob Sanders on the sidelines in street clothes finally here?(AP Photo/Darron Cummings)

The biggest surprise of today is who isn't on the injury report. Bob Sanders is absent from the report indicating that he got his first full day of practice in of the season. Also missing from the report is Kelvin Hayden who has struggled since preseason with a hamstring injury.

The players who are on the list are Adam Vinatieri (knee), Anthony Gonzalez (knee), Marlin Jackson (knee), Tim Jennings (calf) and Jamey Richard (illness).

Week 5: Thursday Injury Report

One new addition to the Colts report, plus good news and bad news about Colts defensive stars.

Joseph Addai was limited in practice today due to a hand injury. Dwight Freeney was back practicing fully after missing practice all last week and getting yesterday off. Bob Sanders sat out today after getting limited work in the last two days. Anthony Gonzalez, Kelvin Hayden, Marlin Jackson and Charlie Johnson missed a second day of practice.

Week 5: Wednesday Injury Report

Gary Brackett was back at full participation in practice and Bob Sanders saw limited reps, but Hayden and Gonzalez remain sidelined and were joined by Charlie Johnson (knee) and Marlin Jackson (knee). Dwight Freeney got the day off leaving his health a mystery for now. Both Hayden and Marlin sitting is concerning. Hayden had hoped that last week would be the last he would need to miss for the hamstring issues he's had, but he stressed the importance of being back full time rather than bouncing between playing at partial speed and sitting out injured all year.

On the Titans side CB Nick Harper sat out, while Cortland Finnegan was limited. Both starting OLB Keith Bulluck and his backup Stanford Kegler were limited. Rotation DT Jason Jones missed practice as did backups Colin Allred and Vincent Fuller.

Keyunta Dawson returned to practice, but the other 6 Colts remained sidelined, with Gonzalez and Sanders being ruled out. Freeney, Brackett, Hayden and Simpson are listed at questionable but did not participate in practice at all this week, so are more than likely missing Sunday's game. Marlin Jackson got the day off.

OUT: Bob Sanders, Anthony Gonzalez

Questionable (no practice): Dwight Freeney, Gary Brackett, Kelvin Hayden, Chad Simpson

Questionable (Friday only): Keyunta Dawson

Week 4: Wednesday Injury Report

7 players sat today. Two with previously unknown injuries. Keyunta Dawson missed practice with a foot injury and Chad Simpson sat out with an injury to his abdomen. The other 5 are known or likely to be out for Sunday. Anthony Gonzalez (knee), Dwight Freeney (quad), Bob Sanders (knee), Gary Brackett (knee) and Kelvin Hayden (hamstring) sat out today.

On the bright side Jerraud Powers' groin soreness wasn't an issue today after costing him a game and some practice time earlier in the year.

Colts.com link

 

Oesher has injury quotes from Hayden, Caldwell and Freeney. Hayden all but rules himself out for Sunday, but hopes it will be the last game he'll need to miss with the lingering hamstring issue. Freeney (as previously reported) refuses to rule himself out for Sunday and sets no timetable in accordance with his attitude towards injury recovery;

 ‘Tomorrow I’ll be ready. If it’s not tomorrow, it’s going to be the next day.’ That’s how I’m going to take it. . . . The intensity you have to be into the game has to be twice as much as practice, so I’m going to take it day by day. I’m going to wake up every morning thinking I’m ready. If I get out of bed and I’m not feeling it, then I have another day to do."

Caldwell continues to refer to Gary Brackett's situation as "day to day" and says Sanders and Gonzalez are making progress.

In addition Phil B reports that Eric Foster will be rotating in at defensive end this week, Tom Santi cleared waivers and was added to the practice squad, Kyle DeVan will continue to rotate in at RG and that Phillip Wheeler is in the mix at DE (but Phil doesn't expect to see him unless the DE cupboard is truly bare).

Week 3: Friday Injury Report

Dwight Freeney returned to practice and Clint Session stayed on the practice field for a second day, but Kelvin Hayden and Gary Brackett remained on the sidelines. Joe Addai and Marlin Jackson got days off.

Out: Bob Sanders, Anthony Gonzalez

Questionable (no practice): Gary Brackett, Kelvin Hayden

Questionable (some practice): Clint Session, Dwight Freeney

 

Colts.com link

 

Oesher relays Caldwell's comments on the questionable players.

  • “Gary’s still being worked on constantly,” ... adding that Brackett’s injury could be best described as a strain. “He’s getting better. It’s kind of a day-to-day thing.”
  • Hayden “is still nursing” his hamstring injury, but added “he’s at a stage right now where he’s better I think than expected.”
  • Freeney, listed late in the week with a back injury, returned to practice Friday. “He had a little bit of an issue, but he’s fine,
  • Session has made “some progress.” “He did some limited things (Thursday), so we feel good about that,”

 

 

On the Cards side they are quite different of the Colts in how they use the report. While the Colts haven't meet an injury they didn't feel deserved at least questionable. The Cards list players with full participation across the board on their report and are big fans of the probable label.

Out: Kenny Iwebema

Questionable: Matt Ware (limited all week), Ali Highsmith (out Wed/Thurs, limited Fri), Levi Brown (limited all week), Rashad Johnson (new on report, limited Friday. Practice injury?), Steve Breaston (out Wed, limited Thurs/Fri), Chike Okeafor (out Wed, limited Thurs/Fri).

Probable (none missed practice time): Sean Morey, Kurt Warner, Antrel Rolle, Bryant McFadden, Brian St. Pierre, Reggie Wells, Anquan Boldin, Will Davis, Early Doucet

Week 3: Thursday Injury Report

Good News, Bad News, and Worse News today. The good news is that no one new is on the report and that Clint Session is back at practice. The bad news is that the other 4 starters that missed yesterday with an injury are not back. Anthony Gonzalez was a given, Bob Sanders sitting out should mean this week is a no go for his return. Kelvin Hayden missing today raises the question of whether Hayden and the team have the same opinion on his injury (Hayden told reporters he expected to play Sunday before practices started this week) and Gary Brackett's day to day knee injury kept him out a second day.

Finally the Worse News. After getting yesterday off Dwight Freeney sat out today with a back injury.

Colts.com link

 

On the Cards side their 3 starters that missed time (RT Brown, WR Breaston and OLB Okefor) all had limited participation. While the three backups had the same status as yesterday (No practice for DE Iwebema and OLB Highsmith, limited for SS Matt Ware).

Final Colts-Phins Injury Report

Unfortunately it was bad news hitting me as soon as I was back from Iowa's 27-17 victory over Arizona. Jerraud Powers and Gijon Robinson missed today's practice putting the status of two starting spots up in the air. Jamie Silva and Charlie Johnson practiced a second day this week after returning yesterday while Anthony Gonzalez, Bob Sanders and Tom Santi remained out of practice and have been ruled out for Monday Night. Jamey Richard sat out again after limited participation Thursday and sitting out yesterday, he is listed as questionable. Days off for Marlin Jackson and Tony Ugoh.

OUT: Anthony Gonzalez (knee), Bob Sanders (knee), Tom Santi (ankle)

Questionable: Charlie Johnson (back), Jerraud Powers (groin), Gijon Robinson (back), Jamey Richard (shoulder), Jamie Silva (abdomen).

Oesher says Marlin Jackson will return to the outside if Powers is unable to play.
