Brackett on the mend

Jun 03, 2009

Colts starting middle LB Gary Brackett expects to be ready for the start of training camp in August after undergoing surgery to repair a broken bone in his right leg that forced him to miss the end of last season. Brackett sustained the injury at Cleveland last November and did not have surgery while hoping he could return for the playoffs, which did not occur. Tuesday, he revealed he had an arthroscopic procedure a few months ago. "We fixed up some things, got some things 'scoped," said Brackett, who has started 58 regular-season games the past four seasons. "Now, it's feeling good. I've got my motion back and (we're) strengthening it so I'll be back for training camp."

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
