Colts safety Bob Sanders could be out 6 weeks
Posted: September 16, 2008
A high sprain to his right ankle could keep safety Bob Sanders out of the Indianapolis Colts lineup for the next six weeks.
That was the outlook provided by team president Bill Polian Tuesday evening in a interview with WISH (Channel 8) as part of his weekend TV show.
"He'll be back, that's for sure," Polian said. "At this point we're not sure of the severity, but I would say four-to-six (weeks) is probably the reasonable assumption . . ."
Sanders, the NFL's reigning Defensive Player of the Year, injured his right ankle during the second half of last Sunday's 18-15 victory at Minnesota.
Polian indicated Sanders also might undergo arthroscopic "clean-up" surgery on one of his knees while he's recovering from the ankle injury. That would enable Sanders to avoid offseason surgery, "which is always a good thing," Polian said.
Idk if you guys remember, but the Colts D was just horrible without him two seasons ago. I like the over this weekend.
