"Colts star CB Sauce Gardner, who suffered a calf strain in Sunday’s loss, is considered week-to-week with the hope he’s back during the regular season," Rapoport posted on X. "Not long-term. But he’ll miss some time."
The Colts acquired Gardner in a trade with the New York Jets prior to the deadline. Indianapolis sent two first-round draft picks and wide receiver AD Mitchell to the New York Jets.
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.

The Jaguars and Colts will both enter Sunday's game at 8-4. The winner will be in sole possession of first place in the AFC South.
