The Colts are officially dealing with a gut punch right now: star cornerback Sauce Gardner is questionable to return with a calf injury. This is the last thing Indianapolis needed, especially with the game still on the line.
Gardner Attempts to Get Loose on Sideline
Gardner jogged off the field and back to the locker room during the third quarter of Sunday’s game against the Titans. It was a heart-stopping moment for anyone watching the defense. The good news? He has since returned to the sideline. Reporters on the scene are saying he is actively doing drills, trying everything to get loose and back into the action. But as of now, he has not returned to the field. Every second he’s out is a moment the Colts’ secondary feels the pressure.
Titans Capitalize on Interception as Game Tightens
While Gardner is on the sideline, the game has been tight. The Titans managed to put three more points on the board, thanks to a Daniel Jones interception, bringing the score to 13-6 with the Colts still leading early in the fourth quarter. Losing a player of Gardner’s caliber, even temporarily, changes the dynamic completely. You can feel the tension building, and the defense absolutely needs their best out there to close this one out. It’s a critical moment, and everyone’s watching to see if Sauce can make it back.
