Sauce Gardner update: Colts CB discusses injury

After not practicing on Wednesday, Indianapolis Colts CB Sauce Gardner discussed the calf injury he is working through.

Indianapolis Colts cornerback Sauce Gardner did not practice on Wednesday, leaving his status for Sunday's game in Minnesota up in the air.

Gardner exited the Colts' Week 6 matchup against the Titans with a calf injury. According to Ian Rapoport, Gardner is dealing with a "mild calf strain" and is considered "week to week."

On Wednesday, Gardner discussed the injury.

"I'm not really concerned," Gardner said on Wednesday, via The Athletic's James Boyd. "I trust our training staff here and, like I said, it’s not as bad as last year, so I’m just happy that it’s not the same spot."

A calf injury last season forced Gardner to miss time with the Colts. This injury is in the same muscle, but in a different location.

"It's in the same muscle, but it's not the same exact spot," Gardner said. ..."It's much (more) minor than last year, so we going to be good."

According to Boyd, Gardner said he will be back "soon," although he was non-committal about this week's game.

This season, Gardner has allowed nine completions on 17 targets for 195 yards with three pass breakups.

After Gardner exited this past Sunday's game, Cam Taylor-Britt took over at outside cornerback.
