The Jets traded star cornerback Sauce Gardner to the Colts in a shocking move ahead of the NFL trade deadline on Tuesday. Fans immediately began wondering if Gardner would make his Indianapolis debut in Week 10 when the Colts face the Falcons in Berlin, Germany. The only reason his status seemed questionable is because he was actively in concussion protocol when traded to the Colts.
As of Thursday, though, Gardner cleared concussion protocol, setting him up to start in Sunday’s early-morning contest for the Colts, Fox59’s Mike Chappell reported. Gardner joins the 7-2 Colts as they look to continue dominating the AFC.
