INDIANAPOLIS – Malik Hooker is feeling optimistic right now, optimistic he’ll be able to be back in the Colts’ lineup on the early side of the initial diagnosis.

Hooker, who tore the meniscus in his left knee against Atlanta and underwent surgery on the cartilage last week, thinks he might have a shot to return after the bye week, potentially against the Houston Texans on Oct. 20.

Hooker has been through knee surgery before.
