The Indianapolis Colts are going to limp into training camp this year. With about three weeks to go before the Colts report to Terre Haute, it appears reigning Defensive Player-of-the-Year Bob Sanders (shoulder) and three-time All-Pro Dwight Freeney (foot) will most likely be on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list when camp opens. To make matters worse, linebacker Tyjuan Hagler (who is expected to start at the Sam LB spot) tore a pec muscle lifting weights this week and is also expected to miss the start of training camp. The good news is that all three should be ready for the start of the regular season, but it’s never a good thing to miss time with your teammates in training camp.

Indianapolis Colts: Walking Wounded

The Indianapolis Colts are one of only two remaining undefeated teams. As they prepare to face AFC South rival Jacksonville on MNF, starting LB and special teams standout Tyjuan Hagler is ready. He may not be a household name yet, but watch his aggressive style and you’ll understand why he wants to be remembered as one of the best to play the game. Tyjuan called after a long day of practice to talk about life as a Super Bowl champion.
