Colts to be without Adam Vinatieri, T.Y. Hilton vs. Bucs
INDIANAPOLIS -- Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay because of a left knee injury," coach Frank Reich said Friday.
Vinatieri, who said he started feeling pain in his knee last week, did not practice Thursday or Friday after being a limited participant Wednesday. It will be the first game he's missed due to injury since 2009.
Coach Frank Reich said they have not talked about putting the 46-year-old Vinatieri on the season-ending injured reserve list, instead classifying the kicker as being "week-to-week" with four games left in the regular season.
Vinatieri dealt with a similar knee problem during training camp.
