November 21, 2008 The AP reports that Colts coach Tony Dungy said Friday there’s a good chance cornerback Kelvin Hayden will return to the starting lineup for Sunday night’s game at San Diego. Hayden has missed the past six games after undergoing knee surgery. He also has been nursing a sore hamstring since being cleared to work out three weeks ago.
Our View:Hayden will probably return to left cornerback and Tim Jennings would move to the right side in place of injured starter Marlin Jackson, who is out for the season. Keiwan Ratliff would most likely get work in the Colts’ nickel package.
November 18, 2008 The Colts are optimistic Kelvin Hayden will be able to return to the gridiron in Week 12 at San Diego, according to the Indianapolis Star. He has been nursing a hamstring injury.
Our View:Hayden holds no value for IDP leagues but is a solid NFL cornerback and his return would strengthen the Colts' secondary while dealing with Philips Rivers and Co.
November 15, 2008 Kelvin Hayden is likely to miss Week 11 due to his hamstring injury, according to ESPN.
Our View:Coach Tony Dungy indicated that he likely needs one more week to recover. Hayden holds no value for IDP leagues, but is a solid starting NFL cornerback, and the Texans' passing attack would benefit by his absence.
November 9, 2008 Week 10 inactives: CB Kelvin Hayden, FS Jamie Silva, LB Jordan Senn, LB Buster Davis, C Steve Justice, WR Roy Hall, TE Tom Santi, DT Daniel Muir.
Our View:Dwight Freeney, Robert Mathis, Bob Sanders, and Reggie Wayne are all active, but the Colts are banged-up on defense.
November 5, 2008 Kelvin Hayden will not play in the Colts' Week 10 game, according to the Indianapolis Star. He underwent knee surgery last month, but it is a hamstring injury that will keep him out of action this week.
Our View:Hayden will continue to be missed on a defense that is already far from 100 percent. Fantasy owners will not miss him as much as he does not have much IDP value.
