According to the Indianapolis Star’s Stephen Holder, the Indianapolis Colts have designated outside linebacker Trent Cole as their sole ‘return player’ off of the team’s injured reserve:
As Holder notes, while Cole practices with the team, the Colts have 21 days to decide whether to active the veteran pass rusher off of injured reserve. He was initially placed on injured reserve following Week 3 due to a lingering back injury.
A week ago, Holder reported that Cole was seen doing rehabilitation work with the Colts training staff, and it was speculated that he could be potentially close to a return with the team.
