Colts President Bill Polian says he was ?very imprecise? when he described an 18-game schedule as a done deal, according to an Associated Press report. Two days after saying a longer schedule is a ?fait accompli? on his local radio show, Polian returned to the airways Wednesday and told ESPN?s ?Mike and Mike In The Morning? program what he meant was that the Colts are preparing as if the 18-game season is going to happen.

With Pierre Garcon out for Sunday's game at Denver, the Colts have signed WR Blair White from their practice squad.

The Colts will continue to bring Jerry Hughes, the team's first round pick, along at a slow pace. "Jerry has a lot of talent, but there is no rush for him,'' said Dwight Freeney. "You don't want to ever expect too much, too soon from anybody.'' Hughes was inactive for Week 1's game against Houston. He was just the second Colts first-round pick to be inactive for a season opener since their relocation in 1984.

The Colts will be without safety Bob Sanders indefinitely because of a biceps injury, according to a source. Indianapolis could be without Sanders for the remainder of the season because of the torn biceps muscle. It is not the same arm in which Sanders had the biceps tendon tear last season. Sanders is scheduled to visit Dr. James Andrews on Wednesday.

Unconfirmed rumors are circulating that Colts safety Bob Sanders may have suffered a season-ending injury on Sunday against the Texans. He left the game with what Indianapolis called an elbow injury, but it may be a season-ending biceps issue.

Colts oft-injured safety Bob Sanders left the team's game against the Texans on Sunday with an elbow injury. Sanders didn't return to the game, which Indianapolis lost in Houston.

With a lot of other elite NFL players receiving new deals, Reggie Wayne appears as though he will play out his current contract. "I got two years left," said Wayne. "I'm going to do my time." Wayne said he's not optimistic there will be movement anytime soon, but that the issue will not influence his approach. "Either we're going to get something done or not," Wayne said. "Nobody came up to me and said, 'Reggie, let me holler at you.' I can read between the lines. I know what's going on. I'm not going to let it affect my production. It's a business and I am going to treat like a business. Let's go out there and make plays and go forward from there. "In two years I'll worry about it and we'll see how it goes."

Colts wide receiver Reggie Wayne still desires a new contract. "This offseason we were talking about contracts," Wayne said of a conversation with Texans receiver Andre Johnson. "Once he got his done, I texted him 'congratulations,' and the first thing he asked me was, 'So what's up with yours? What are you going to do?' I texted him 'absolutely nothing.' At least somebody's getting paid. I'd also like to send congratulations out to Miles Austin. He got paid." Wayne is playing out the final two years of a six-year, $39 million deal he signed four years ago. "It's either we'll get something done or we're not. We haven't had any talks. I can read in between the lines, I know what's going on," he said. "But I'm not going to let that affect my production. Like they say, it's a business, right? So I'm going to treat it like a business. I'm going to do what I'm supposed to do. And that's go out there and make plays."

With the rumor mill churning in New England about Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and a possible contract extension, the Colts plan to keep things quiet on the Peyton Manning front. Indianapolis owner Jim Irsay referred to the "cone of silence" that was made popular in the old TV series "Get Smart" when asked about Manning's status. "The 'cone of silence' is going to come down, at least for us," Irsay said. "That's how you get something done. I'm not even sure what the Brady thing is." Irsay has said he's committed to making Manning, the NFL's only four-time MVP and winner the past two seasons, the highest-paid player in the league.

The Colts have waived injured offensive lineman Tony Ugoh, their second round pick in 2007. Indianapolis had envisioned Ugoh as a long-term left tackle, but he disappointed. The Colts have claimed offensive lineman Joe Reitz off waivers from Miami to take Ugoh's roster spot.
