December 9, 2008 The Indianapolis Star reports that center Jeff Saturday should be available for Week 15.
Our View:Saturday is a valuable piece to the Colts' offensive line, although they haven't exactly struggled without him. He has missed the past two games, both Colt wins, with a strained calf muscle.
December 7, 2008 Colts inactives: LB Tyjuan Hagler, LB Gary Brackett, LB Rufus Alexander, C Jeff Saturday, TE Jamie Petrowski, WR Roy Hall, DE Curtis Johnson, DT Keyunta Dawson.
Our View:Joseph Addai (knee) is active and will start, while Anthony Gonzalez (shoulder) is active and will play. On defense, the Colts get safety Bob Sanders (knee) back, but will miss middle linebacker Gary Brackett, who will be replaced by Buster Davis.
December 5, 2008 Center Jeff Saturday (calf) was a full participant in practice on Friday but he is still listed as questionable for Suday's game against the Bengals, according to the injury report.
Our View:Peyton Manning struggled some last week when Saturday was out of the lineup. He is a Pro Bowl-caliber player who makes a big difference for the Colts' offense.
December 1, 2008 Jeff Saturday is expected to miss another game in Week 14 while recovering from his strained calf, according to the Indianapolis Star.
Our View:The Colts' timing and rhythm on offense was compromised without the elite center in Week 13, as the club was limited to only 10 points in a close win over the Browns.
November 25, 2008 Jeff Saturday is expected to miss at least three weeks while recovering from his strained calf, according to the Indianapolis Star.
Our View:Jamey Richard will replace the elite Saturday at center, which could hinder the timing and rhythm of the Colts' offense, but at least they have a favorable match-up against the Browns.
