Sanders sidelined by shoulder injury | IndyStar.com

Quote:

Safety Bob Sanders was an interested spectator during the Indianapolis Colts' three-day minicamp, which ended Sunday evening. He's still recovering from surgery on his left shoulder.

Sanders insisted his rehabilitation is ahead of schedule but stopped short of declaring he'd be ready for the start of training camp in late July. The target date is Sept. 6, which is when the Colts open the regular season in the RCA Dome against New Orleans.
"My No. 1 goal this year is to make sure I stay healthy and just focus on continuing to get better and not allow this past year to affect the way I play,'' Sanders said.
The shoulder began bothering Sanders during the postseason. He had had surgery on that shoulder during the offseason before the 2006 season. Then, during the season, he was limited to just four starts after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his right knee in September.
The 2007 season will be important for Sanders. The former Pro Bowl selection will be an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season.
Considering his value to the defense, Colts management likely will do whatever it takes to retain Sanders. He could become the highest-paid safety in the NFL, unless Troy Polamalu beats him to it. Pittsburgh's veteran safety also will be a free agent at the end of the season.
