wholesale nhl jerseys Colts' Sanders due anot

[???]

Last week, Bob Sanders said he was as healthy as he has ever been.

Now, he will be out of action indefinitely.

Sanders, the 2007 NFL Defensive Player of the Year, had surgery Wednesday to repair a torn biceps [url=http://www.libercom.bj/css/cheapnhljerseys.html]wholesale nhl jerseys[/url] muscle in his right arm, an injury that could end his season again. officials aren't yet saying how much time Sanders could miss.

"I don't know, and I don't want to say anything until I have all the information," coach said before the practiced Wednesday.

A couple of hours later, the announced that Sanders had surgery.

president Bill Polian, appearing on NFL Network's "NFL Total Access," said the surgery -- performed by Dr. James Andrews -- was a success.

"We'll see over the next little while how much progress (Sanders) makes," Polian said. "He had the very same operation on the other [url=http://www.cavicocms.com/nikenfljerseys.php]nike nfl jerseys[/url] arm last year and healed up in somewhere between 10 and 12 weeks. So if everything went swimmingly, you could probably anticipate that he would be back ... But we'll know more in a month in terms of the kind of progress that he's made. Right now, we're leaving him on the 53-man active roster, hoping and anticipating he'll be back some time before the season ends."

Sanders was hurt during Sunday's season opener when he awkwardly landed on his shoulder during the ' first offensive series.

Sanders did light work during a non-contact practice Monday before having an MRI, then met with Andrews in Alabama to receive a second opinion Wednesday morning. Apparently, Andrews determined the two-time safety needed surgery.

For Sanders, it's the latest addition to his long list of injuries.

Just 10 months ago, Sanders went on season-ending injured reserve with a torn biceps in the left arm. And since winning the league's top defensive honor and signing a five-year, $37.5 million contract after the 2007 season, Sanders has played in just nine games. He actually has missed more games (49) than he has played in (48) during his seven-year career.



Teammates are preparing for the worst.

"He's a family member and we'd love to have him out there," defensive end said. "But life goes on, the game goes on. Unfortunately, we've played a lot of games without him, and I feel bad for him personally."

The ' release said it would "monitor" Sanders' rehabilitation before making [url=http://www.omnimas.com/nhlhockey006.html]cheap nhl jerseys[/url] any additional decision on his status.

"There's definitely several different routes that he can go," owner Jim Irsay said Tuesday. "But it's way too early to say that he's definitely done for the season."

Melvin Bullitt, Sanders' replacement the last two seasons, is expected to rejoin the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the . Bullitt has started 21 regular-season games and four playoff games over the past two seasons while Sanders was out.

Bullitt again returned to the lineup when Sanders left the Houston game. Bullitt picked off a pass to set up the ' first touchdown.

"His situation is definitely unfortunate," Bullitt said Wednesday. "I've talked to him a little bit, and he's doing fine."

Bullitt's return to the starting [url=http://www.pocdia.de/VIP/baskeball.html]cheap baskeball jerseys[/url] lineup, Caldwell said, also means he'll see a reduction in special-teams duty.

So the adjusted the roster. On Wednesday morning, they announced they had signed safety DaJuan Morgan and waived offensive lineman , an Indiana native who was claimed off waivers from the last week.

Morgan was the ' third-round draft [url=http://www.pocdia.de/VIP/jerseysoutlet.html]nfl jerseys[/url] pick in 2008. He played in 28 games, made 34 tackles and had one fumble recovery. He was waived by the on Sept. 4.

The also announced that Anthony Gonzalez will miss Sunday's game against the with a high ankle sprain. Caldwell hasn't said which ankle Gonzalez hurt.

Linebacker Clint Session (hamstring) and Freeney, who was given an extra day of rest, were the only other players to sit out Wednesday's practice. Left tackle did limited work as he recovers from a sprained right foot. Linebacker Cody Glenn (hamstring), defensive back (concussion) and center Jeff Saturday (right knee) were full practice participants.

But with Sanders' short-term and long-term future uncertain, the can't afford to wait for answers.

"His presence will be missed," cornerback said. "But like we say around here, it's next man up and we move forward."
