Colts’ Sauce Gardner, 2 others ruled out of test with Vikings

Indianapolis Colts cornerback Sauce Gardner, wide receiver Anthony Gould, and tight end Tyler Warren have been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Head coach Shane Steichen confirmed the designations after Gardner suffered an injury to his left calf during the team's 26-20 loss to Tennessee. Gould is sidelined with a concussion, while Warren is out due to a groin issue.

Gardner noted that an MRI revealed this calf injury is milder and in a different location than last year's strain. The Colts are considering multiple defensive adjustments, potentially utilizing cornerbacks Justin Walley and Cam Taylor-Britt. Meanwhile, punter Rigoberto Sanchez is listed as having a chance to play despite dealing with a right foot injury.
