Chuck Pagano has been medically cleared to returns to the Indianapolis Colts' sideline as soon as he is ready.

Pagano is expected to return to the Colts' complex on Monday.

"Medically, I see no reason he cannot come back when he's ready to try and come back," Dr. Larry Cripe said. "Coach has done a great job with this, and I trust him."

Pagano has not coached the Colts since Sept. 23.
