(Reuters) - Indianapolis
Colts punter Rigoberto Sanchez is set to feature in Sunday's
game against the Houston Texans, less than three weeks after
undergoing surgery to remove a cancerous tumor.
The 26-year-old, who signed with the Colts after going undrafted
in 2017, disclosed his diagnosis on Nov. 30 and went under the
knife a day later.
He missed the Colts' victories against Houston and Las Vegas but
returned to practice earlier this week and is expected to resume
kicking and punting duties on Sunday.
"We're so happy he's had a good week and got up to speed really
quickly," Colts coach Frank Reich said.
"We're confident and excited he's slated to be back in the
lineup."
