"Indianapolis Colts safety Bob Sanders will require surgery to repair an injury to his left elbow and miss an undetermined amount of time. Also, starting cornerback Kelvin Hayden is expected to miss up to four weeks with a knee injury.

Coach Jim Caldwell confirmed the team will be without two of their starting defensive players, perhaps for at least a month, this morning.

Sanders, who missed the first five games of the season while completing his rehabilitation from offseason knee surgery, suffered the injury in last Sunday's win over San Francisco. He sought a second opinion from Dr. James Andrews, a noted orthopedic surgeon in Birmingham, Ala., and it was determined surgery is required."
