According to Pelissero, Gardner is believed to have suffered a calf strain. Peliserro adds that these injuries "can be tricky" and there will be additional tests completed.
There is, however, optimism that Gardner avoided major injury as his Achilles appears to be intact.
After Gardner was ruled out, The Athletic's James Boyd saw Gardner on the Colts' sideline with a boot on his lower left leg/foot.
In Gardner's first two games with the Colts, he has allowed five receptions on 10 targets for 38 yards with two pass breakups. He's also made 12 tackles.
