- The Colts’ Week 7 availability story changed quickly: Sauce Gardner was talking Wednesday like his calf issue was manageable, but by Friday the team had moved from that early reassurance to an official ruling that Gardner, Tyler Warren and Anthony Gould would miss the game against the Minnesota Vikings.
- Warren’s situation followed a similar path.
- He had already missed Week 6 after suffering a groin injury in practice, and he did not practice again this week before being ruled out for the Vikings game.
- Anthony Gould, who was injured during Sunday’s game, was also ruled out.
- Head coach Shane Steichen had already confirmed the three would not play before the Colts’ full injury report was released later Friday, making the team’s final availability call clear even before the official listing arrived.
