Overview
- Gardner suffered a calf injury during Sunday’s loss to the Titans and an MRI has shown a mild calf strain that the team calls week-to-week with an expectation he will miss some time.
- Gardner did not practice Wednesday or Thursday and said he is “not really concerned,” adding the injury is in a different, more minor spot than last season’s calf problem.
- Cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt has been filling Gardner’s outside role while the Colts continue to monitor Gardner’s recovery ahead of Sunday’s game.
- Tight end Tyler Warren remains sidelined with a groin issue after missing the Titans game and did not practice this week while coach Shane Steichen described his recovery as progressing well.
- The Colts added veteran punter Thomas Morstead to the practice squad after Rigoberto Sanchez injured his foot, a move that highlights thinner depth in both the secondary and on special teams and raises the stakes for upcoming injury reports.
