Houston Texans Indianapolis
The injury bug is still haunting the Indianapolis Colts
Jackson, who missed the second half of the 2008 season after injuring his right knee during practice, suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury to his left knee during a non-contact drill Wednesday. He had been rehabbing the knee after he was hurt against Seattle on Oct. 4.
Sanders had just returned to the Colts' lineup two weeks ago. He had missed all of training camp and the first five games of the year after undergoing offseason knee surgery. He has missed 40 of 87 games during his injury-plagued, six-year NFL career.Indianapolis' other veteran cornerback, Kelvin Hayden , is also expected to be sidelined for the next three to four weeks after he suffered a sprained knee during the 18-14 win over San Francisco. Hayden is not expected to undergo surgery.
The Colts (7-0) host AFC South rival Houston (5-3) this Sunday. Texans quarterback Matt Schaub and receiver Andre Johnson will likely be looking at the Colts defense which starts two rookie cornerbacks -- Jerraud Powers and Jacob Lacey . Three-year veteran Melvin Bullitt will take Sanders' place at strong safety.
Wide receiver Anthony Gonzalez , meanwhile, underwent arthroscopic surgery Thursday to clean out loose particles in his right knee. Gonzalez suffered a sprained ligament in the knee during the Colts' season-opening win over Jacksonville. A date for his return has yet to be determined. Wide receiver Pierre Garcon (ankle), defensive tackle Fili Moala (concussion), offensive tackle Tony Ugoh (rest) and placekicker Adam Vinatieri (knee) did not practice Friday. Garcon and Moala are both listed as questionable for the Houston game, as is running back Donald Brown (shoulder).
Defensive end Josh Thomas has returned to the Colts for the second time this season. Thomas originally played with the Colts from 2004-08, starting 12 games. And Indianapolis Colts signed tight end Tom Santi off the practice squad.
