After missing the entire 2014 campaign, Colts outside linebacker Robert Mathis may be ready to play when his team opens their season against the Bills on Sept. 13. Colts head coach Chuck Pagano hinted as much on Friday to ESPN's Mike Wells.
"There's a possibility," he said.
"He's been practicing and we're getting him more reps. Every day he's going through individual drills and we're increasing the snaps he takes during the course of practice with each day. It started out with five snaps and we'll increase that number again [next] week.
"We'll just evaluate how the week goes. Rob is doing great. He's making great progress."
The 13th-year pro led the NFL with 19.5 sacks two seasons ago and is the stalwart of the team's defensive hopes in 2015. A six-time Pro Bowl selection, he helped the Colts claim the Super Bowl in 2006.
