INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Colts coach Jim Caldwell wouldn't say whether Bob Sanders will
play Sunday against Jacksonville. He does expect the 2007 NFL
Defensive Player of the Year to be back on the field within five
weeks.
Caldwell told reporters Monday the team would not have kept
Sanders on the active roster unless the Colts thought he would
return sooner than the six-week window required if he opened the
season on the physically unable to perform list. Sanders had
offseason knee surgery and has not yet practiced.
The Colts did make a roster move Monday, adding veteran
safety Aaron Francisco, who was cut by Arizona. The Colts then
released linebacker Jordan Senn.
Caldwell said Francisco, a four-year NFL veteran, could play
Sunday.
A health care battle is heating up in Washington and here in Indianapolis.
