The Colts didn't have a proper practice on Wednesday, but if they would have, Gardner would have been a non-participant due to his calf injury. It doesn't look like he will be available to play this week, which would lead to Indianapolis' secondary being short-handed ahead of a big divisional matchup against the Jaguars.

Sauce Gardner (calf) will not be placed on IR by the Colts.

Fantasy Impact

Garnder is considered week-to-week due to the calf injury he sustained in Week 13. The Colts obviously expect him to be able to return inside the four-week period required on IR. Jaylon Jones' snaps increased significantly upon Gardner's exit last week.

Fantasy Impact

The Colts big trade deadline acquisition is facing a big setback at the worst possible time. The Colts have lost three of their last four and are in dire need of a turnaround to save their season, but they’ll likely have to do it without Sauce.
