The Colts defense got good news and very bad news on Monday. The good: DE Henry Anderson got activated from the PUP and will rejoin the team for the 1st time since suffering an ACL tear to end his rookie season. The bad: Top CB Vontae Davis is expected to miss at least the 1st month of the season, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Davis suffered a medial ankle sprain in practice last Thursday and has ligament damage. We'll see whether that will cost him more than the 1st 4 games. Indy signed free-agent CB Antonio Cromartie on Monday to fill in. Cromartie has had terrific seasons in the league, but it's also telling that he sat available this far into the offseason. We'll see how he looks. The secondary has also been operating without presumed starting FS Clayton Geathers throughout camp (foot) but expects to get him back at practice this week. All told, there's not much to get excited about in an already shaky defense.

The Colts on Monday labeled CB Vontae Davis day-to-day with the hamstring injury that knocked him out early in the 4th quarter of Sunday's loss to the Falcons. We'll see if he gets back to practice this week. If he's our or even limited this week, that would be good news for Bucs top WR Mike Evans. Indy appears likely to miss LT Anthony Castonzo for the matchup with Tampa Bay. HC Chuck Pagano called him week-to-week with an MCL sprain. That would be a significant loss for an already struggling offense with an already-shaky O-line.
