Colts could have S Sanders, RB Addai against Pats. Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy said Wednesday that barring any setbacks, safety Bob Sanders and running back Joseph Addai could return for this weekends game against the New England Patriots.

The reigning Defensive Player of the Year, Sanders has missed the last five games since spraining his right ankle against the Minnesota Vikings on September 14. He also underwent arthroscopic surgery on one of his knees while recovering from the ankle injury.

Addai has been sidelined the last two games with a hamstring injury.

In addition to Sanders and Addai, cornerback Kelvin Hayden, who has missed the last three games with a knee injury, also may return.

Dungy said Wednesday that all three players are set to return to practice.

If everything goes smoothly, they should play, Dungy said.

The Colts (3-4) have a definite need to get healthy as they enter Sundays game against the Patriots trying to avoid their first three-game losing streak since the 2002 season.

Indianapolis already has fallen four games back of unbeaten Tennessee (7-0) in the AFC South.
