Rumors fly of a season-ending injury for Bob Sanders

There are unconfirmed (for now) rumors in league circles that Colts safety Bob Sanders' elbow injury may in fact be a season-ending biceps injury.

What we know for now is that no one is saying anything yet. The team is quiet and the player is quiet. Indeed, the player is so quiet that some folks with whom he ordinarily would be communicating have yet to hear from him.

Stay tuned on this one. Sanders played only two games last year, and for now there's a chance that he'll play in one less this year.

The Colts need to be smart and just let Sanders sit on the bench until playoff time every year...and then pray he can last however many games they play. Seriously, the guy just doesn't how to play smart. If he did, he wouldn't hurt himself every year.

...and in other news, the sky is blue. This guy has played 48 games over a 7 year career (average of just a shade under 7 games a season). I don't care how good he is, if you are the colts you gotta cut bait...I believe this could be his 5th season ending injury!?!?!

Just curious, how does Sanders play dumb to get himself hurt every year??? I can see a quarterback who doesn't slide and gets jacked up for no reason playing dumb and getting hurt. Not sure how it applies to an in the box safety who is built like a small corner.You know sometimes players for whatever reason just tend to get hurt more then other players, especially if you tend to be undersized at the position you play.

I guess the guy is a hard-hitter that knows no other way to play. An incredible talent, but basic physics tells you that a guy at that size just isn't going to be able to do what he does and last very long.

Apparently he practiced today...

He is always going for the knockout and you can't do that every single time.

Word was he dressed. Maybe to disguise his injury to not give leverage to any free agent safety or team they may be looking to trade with.

This seriously isn't a bad idea.
