After another rocky performance in the Colts' nail-biting win on Sunday, Adam Vinatieri told reporters he'd be speaking to them Monday, even though there was no player availability scheduled. Retirement speculation ran rampant.

Vinatieri visited the Colts facility on Monday, but no retirement announcement came, and we didn't hear from the 46-year-old placekicker. We did hear from Colts coach Frank Reich, who stood by his man, announcing Vinatieri will serve as the team's placekicker during its home-opener this weekend against the Atlanta Falcons.
