Indianapolis Colts cornerback Sauce Gardner exited the game against the Houston Texans after two defensive snaps with a left calf injury on Sunday.
As the final seconds ticked off the clock in the first quarter with Houston ahead 3-0, the Colts officially ruled Gardner out for the remainder of the game.
He returned to the sideline with a walking boot on his left foot.
Gardner went to the locker room with each arm draped over the shoulder of medical staff as the two-time Pro Bowl cornerback was unable to put weight on his left leg.
Gardner, acquired from the New York Jets in a trade deadline deal that cost Indianapolis two first-round picks, hobbled away from a pass completion on Houston's second play from scrimmage.
The Texans had a significant injury of their own in the opening quarter. Starting running back Woody Marks shuffled to the blue medical tent with a left foot injury before being taken the locker room. He was listed as questionable to return.
Since adding Gardner, the Colts lead the NFL in percentage of snaps in man-to-man coverage, according to NFL Next Gen Stats.
