The Indianapolis Colts just can’t catch a break. After dropping two back-to-back games, things went from bad to worse when star cornerback Sauce Gardner went down with a calf strain against the Houston Texans on November 30, 2025. He left early and did not return, leaving everyone holding their breath, fearing the worst. But in the middle of all this, Colts fans finally got a ray of hope in Gardner’s comeback.

“#Colts star CB Sauce Gardner, who suffered a calf strain in Sunday’s loss, is considered week-to-week with the hope he’s back during the regular season, sources tell me and @TomPelissero after the MRI. Not long-term,” NFL’s Ian Rapoport wrote on X. “But he’ll miss some time.”
