Gardner departed Indianapolis' Week 6 loss to Tennessee due to a calf issue and didn't play Week 7 versus Minnesota. However, he practiced in a limited capacity this Wednesday, and with a full practice under his belt one day later, Gardner appears good to go for Sunday's clash in Jacksonville. That should be a big boost to the Colts' secondary after Cam Taylor-Britt (groin) landed on IR on Tuesday.
