Kavell Conner will enter the season as the Colts' starting weak-side linebacker.
A seventh-round steal last season, Conner has already drawn comparisons to former Titans linebacker David Thornton. Thanks to an appendectomy that kept Ernie Sims out for much of August, Conner had little competition for the job. Sims will play on nickel downs once he gets back to full strength.

Kavell Conner - LB - Colts

Colts president Bill Polian believes that 2010 seventh-round pick Kavell Conner can be "the next David Thornton."

Thornton was a versatile linebacker for the Colts early in his career, coming up as a fourth-round pick and earning a starting job by his second season. Conner, 24, collected nine starts in his rookie campaign. He's in line to compete for a starting position on the strong side during the 2011 offseason.

Kavell Conner - LB - Colts

Colts LB Kavell Conner underwent surgery Tuesday to repair the fractured bone in his left foot.

The Colts are only saying that he's out this week, but it's certainly a multi-week procedure. Cody Glenn will start at weak-side linebacker against the Jags this Sunday if starter Clint Session (hamstring) isn't ready to return.

Kavell Conner - LB - Colts

Colts LB Kavell Conner has a fractured bone in his left foot, according to Fox 31's Josina Anderson.

It leaves the Colts wafer-thin at linebacker. The team is no doubt desperately hoping Clint Session (hamstring) will be ready for Week 4. If he isn't, Cody Glenn would start.

Kavell Conner - LB - Colts

Rookie Kavell Conner could make a second straight start at weak-side linebacker against the Broncos on Sunday.

Starter Clint Session missed last week's game with a hamstring injury, and he's yet to practice this week. Coach Jim Caldwell gave Kavell a mixed review in his starting debut, noting that he showed "some pop and ability" in addition to his inexperience.
