AFC South Notes: Colts, Jaguars, Texans

Colts

Colts FS Malik Hooker told reporters on Tuesday that he’s hasn’t set a specific timetable to return from the torn ACL he suffered last year.

“I mean, I really (haven’t) set no goal,” Hooker said, via Colts.com. “You know, as of now I’m just taking it day-by-day, trying to get better each day. That’s my goal; every day try to outwork myself from yesterday.

Hooker did, however, say that things are going well so far in regards to the knee surgery he underwent this offseason.

Things are going great right now,” Hooker said. “I’m currently five months, couple days out from surgery, so there’s nothing I can complain about right now. It’s just about building strength and getting ready for the season.”
