Anthony Gonzalez

While it is true that the Indianapolis Colts are dangerous as it is at 9-0 without wide receiver Anthony Gonzalez in their lineup, imagine how much more dangerous they will be when he eventually returns. Nonetheless, Mike Chappell of the Indianapolis Star is reporting that according to Gonzalez, he is on track to rejoining the team after going arthroscopic surgery on his right knee earlier this month.

Gonzalez adds:

“I felt like I was close the last time. So in that sense, it’s a little hard to say. I do feel the ’scope I had helped a lot. Now it’s just a matter of getting a little flexibility back and all my strength back. But I think I’m close.”

The wide receiver from Ohio State did, however, stop short of specifying a return date. While I personally will be glad when he returns to the fold, the “close to returning” mantra has been a recurring theme. For once, some specifics would be helpful as to his return to the playing field. Stay tuned to Colts Gab when more developments arise.
