When we mentioned the other day that Colts safety Bob Sanders, who finally is back from a knee injury that caused him to miss the first five games of the season, now has an elbow injury, the common refrain from the blue horseshoe crowd was, “He’ll be fine.”
Maybe he will, but the injury is bad enough to prompt Sanders to make his way back to Alabama for a visit with Dr. James Andrews.
The team announced that Sanders visited Dr. Andrews on Thursday to “gather additional information,” which presumably includes the letters “M”, “R”, and “I”.
The team also announced that cornerback Marlin Jackson has been placed on injured reserve after tearing an ACL during a non-contact drill in practice on Wednesday, and that defensive end Josh Thomas has been signed to take his place.
