- On Wednesday, the Colts cornerback said the calf issue that knocked him out of Sunday’s loss to the Tennessee Titans “isn’t as bad as the one that sidelined him for most of the Colts’ final six games in the 2025 season.” He also said the injury was “much more minor than last year.”
- But when the Colts released their Week 7 availability update, the official answer was different: Gardner is out.
- Gardner left Sunday’s game in the second half with the calf injury and did not return.
- By Friday, head coach Shane Steichen had already ruled him out for Week 7, along with Warren and Gould.
- The Colts enter the game 2-4, and the injury list only sharpens the pressure around a roster that is already trying to recover from the loss to Tennessee.
- For now, the most important injury update is not Gardner’s optimism.
- It is the Colts’ final ruling.
