INDIANAPOLIS — Newly-acquired Colts cornerback Sauce Gardner is expected to play for the team this Sunday in Germany against the Falcons.

Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen said during media availability on Wednesday that Gardner did practice and as long as he clears concussion protocol, the plan is for him to make his Colts debut on Sunday in Berlin.

Gardner missed the Jets Week 8 game due to a concussion. Last week, Gardner rested and remained in concussion protocol while New York was on a bye.

Steichen is excited about adding the All-Pro corner to the team. He said he spoke with him over the phone on Tuesday and Wednesday.

“I think he’s excited for a new chapter in his career,” Steichen said. “To get a guy in the building like that, it just elevates everybody around us.”
