Team officials confirmed today that cornerback Marlin Jackson has been placed on injured reserve for the remainder of the season.

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 23:40:00 +0000 http://www.tribstar.com/colts/local_story_308234152.html http://www.tribstar.com/colts/local_story_308234152.html The Indianapolis Colts are keenly aware of the position that they’re in heading into Sunday’s AFC South matchup with the Houston Texans. “It’s always been a tough game, whether we played them here in Indy or we’ve always had really close games down there in Houston. The schedule has been funny where we had all four NFC games so early in the season. Now, we’re getting into the AFC schedule and into the division,” Colts quarterback Peyton Manning said Wednesday.

Did the San Francisco 49ers defensive coaching spot something that helped them slow down the Indianapolis Colts’ offense? Mon, 02 Nov 2009 00:38:00 +0000 http://www.tribstar.com/colts/local_story_306003907.html http://www.tribstar.com/colts/local_story_306003907.html In a few words, it was a grinder. That’s the term that players and coaches in the National Football League use in talking about games that were, first of all, much tougher than expected. And, secondly, it pretty much describes what happens when a team wins despite not playing as well as it can.

After the Indianapolis Colts defeated the San Francisco 49ers 18-14 at Lucas Oil Stadium, and after the Baltimore Ravens knocked the surprising Denver Broncos from the ranks of the unbeaten with a 30-7 victory on Sunday, the Colts have the AFC’s best record at 7-0.

And it certainly wasn’t as efficient as it had been in the team’s previous six games. But the Indianapolis Colts offense did just enough when it needed to during Sunday’s 18-14 come-from-behind win over the San Francisco 49ers.

Wide receiver Reggie Wayne (strained groin) and defensive end Dwight Freeney (knee) both took part in Friday’s practice and are expected to see playing time. Defensive tackle Eric Foster (shoulder) also practiced and should be available to play against the 49ers.

In fact, the Colts will be home for the next three weeks before heading east to face the Baltimore Ravens on Nov. 22. Four of Indianapolis’ first six games were played away from Lucas Oil Stadium.

And they are positive ones too. Mon, 26 Oct 2009 00:21:00 +0000 http://www.tribstar.com/colts/local_story_299001630.html http://www.tribstar.com/colts/local_story_299001630.html Believe it or not, it wasn’t quite as easy as it may have appeared to the casual observer. Yes, the Indianapolis Colts posted a 42-6 victory over the winless St. Louis Rams in National Football League play Sunday at the Edward Jones Dome. But this wasn’t the Colts’ best effort of the season. Far from it. But it was good enough for them to remain one of the National Football League’s unbeaten teams. Mon, 26 Oct 2009 00:16:00 +0000 http://www.tribstar.com/colts/local_story_299001726.html http://www.tribstar.com/colts/local_story_299001726.html Donald Brown vs. Joseph Addai ... is it time for the debate over who should shoulder the Indianapolis Colts’ running load to begin? If Sunday was the time for the debate, it was over by technical knockout in the second quarter of the Colts’ 42-6 victory over the St. Louis Rams at the Edward Jones Dome. On Brown’s second run from scrimmage, he strained his left shoulder. He did not return and was not on the sideline during the second half.

Sanders had been sidelined since training camp after undergoing knee surgery last spring. After an extended rehabilitation process, and a relatively short return to a full practice regimen, the 2007 NFL Defensive Player of the Year made his 2009 debut Sunday against the St. Louis Rams.
