Colts ILB Pat Angerer (foot) played 22 snaps in his 2012 debut Sunday.

Angerer posted three tackles and two quarterback hits. Last year, he racked up 148 tackles, one sack, one interception, two forced fumbles and three pass breakups as an IDP monster. Angerer will return to an every-down role shortly.

Jerrell Freeman will get the start. The two inside 'backers figure to form a rotation, creating an IDP situation to avoid.

Colts declared MLB Pat Angerer (foot), OLB Robert Mathis (knee) and RB Donald Brown (knee) inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets.

Backup Jerrell Freeman has racked up 35 tackles, one sack, one interception, one forced fumble and one pass breakup in four starts. The Colts surprisingly will have CB Vontae Davis (ankle), who came in listed as "doubtful." The rest of their inactives: QB Chandler Harnish, NT Martin Tevaseu, G Joe Reitz and DE Fili Moala.

Pat Angerer - LB - Colts

Colts MLB Pat Angerer suffered a broken foot in Sunday's preseason opener, and will be sidelined a minimum of six weeks.

The injury requires surgery. It's a huge blow for a run defense that ranked 29th in the league last season, as Angerer could miss upwards of 3-4 games. Angerer was fourth in the NFL with 148 tackles in 2011. He was expected to be the linchpin in new coach Chuck Pagano's 3-4 scheme. According to Pagano, Moise Fokou, Greg Lloyd, Jerrell Freeman and Mario Harvey will all compete for Angerer's spot, but the Colts will explore the free agent market. Keep in mind the Angerer injury for early-season matchup purposes. The Colts face the Bears (Matt Forte), Vikings (Toby Gerhart/Adrian Peterson), and Jaguars (Maurice Jones-Drew/Rashad Jennings) in the first three games.

Colts MLB Pat Angerer (knee) resumed practicing on a limited basis Thursday.

"It's been getting better," Angerer said before practice. "I'm excited and optimistic about it. I'm going to practice today, go out there and run around. (I want to) test it out and see how it feels. I think that's the main thing, seeing how sore it is tomorrow." Angerer's 112 tackles this season are second only to London Fletcher's 124.

I couldn't plant on it," he said. Angerer is still tied for second in the NFL in tackles with 112, trailing only Redskins MLB London Fletcher.

Colts LB Pat Angerer was forced from Sunday's game against the Patriots with a knee injury.

Angerer was shown on the sideline with his helmet off and is unlikely to be available for the remainder of the game. It would be a significant loss if he were to miss extended time. He currently leads the NFL with 112 tackles.

Colts LB Pat Angerer recorded 20 tackles in Sunday night's loss to the Steelers.

It's the most tackles by a Colt since Bob Sanders had 20 in 2005, and Angerer's 42 tackles lead the NFL through three weeks. Angerer, who was kicked to the middle to replace Gary Brackett (shoulder), posted 11 solo tackles. He's more than capable of eventually taking over for Brackett at middle linebacker full time.

Colts president Bill Polian confirmed that Pat Angerer is viewed as Gary Brackett's eventual replacement at middle linebacker.

Brackett is signed through 2014, but turns 31 in May. Angerer, a second-round pick last season, started seven games at outside linebacker and four games in place of an injured Brackett as a rookie. He showed more than enough for the Colts to be excited about his outlook.

Colts rookie Pat Angerer drew the start at SLB over Philip Wheeler in Week 8.

"I thought he did a pretty good job for us the first time at that position," coach Jim Caldwell said of Angerer. "Made some mistakes, but he's the kind of guy that gets better every week. He played steady." Angerer is traditionally a middle linebacker, so he figures to improve with experience.

The Colts are considering benching SLB Philip Wheeler in favor of second-round rookie Pat Angerer.

Angerer racked up a game-high 11 tackles, broke up two passes, and sacked Donovan McNabb in a spot start for MLB Gary Brackett in Week 6, so the Colts are thinking about rewarding him with a starting job on the strong side. Wheeler, a third-round pick in the 2008 draft, has struggled against the run.
