Colts strengthened by Sanders imminent return... Posted by DieHardFans | at 11:40 PM

The undefeated Colts are going from strength to strength this season. Gaining additional quality, they are fast becoming one of the top play-makers in terms of their defense.

Safety; Bob Sanders, is hoping to make his season debut this Sunday at St. Louis. The 2007 NFL defensive player of the year hasn’t played a single game since January. He’s expected to train this week. He had been sidelined for the first time this season, despite the fact he had not been listed in the team’s injury report.

Head Coach Jim Caldwell commented: “He’s improving and been ramping up his activity over the last three weeks and we anticipate he will be able to do something for us (Sunday).”Sanders has previously been left out of the side. The two-time Pro Bowl safety returned to practice and was going to travel with the first team to Nashville for the Oct. 11 game. But with a bye last week, the Colts opted to hold him out.

He has previously much of his training as the result of a knee operation and although the Colts had hoped he would make a return within 6 weeks, it would appear he may be back sooner. Sanders told the press: I feel better than I’ve felt in a long time,” Sanders said Wednesday. “I feel excited about that and I’m ready to get in there. But we’ve not made that decision (about playing) yet.”
