Colts rookie LT Anthony Castonzo has unofficially given up six sacks in nine games played this year.

Castonzo missed four games due to an ankle injury. The six sacks allowed aren't unruly, but it's not what the Colts expected after using the No. 22 overall pick on Castonzo in April. "He's making progress, but part of that in this league is you're going to have some tough days," coach Jim Caldwell said.

Colts LT Anthony Castonzo (ankle) has had no setbacks in his return to practice this week.

Castonzo expects to return Sunday against the Falcons after missing three games. Jeff Linkenbach will swing back to right tackle, and RG Ryan Diem is also expected to play for the first time in a month. It's a boost for Curtis Painter and the passing game.

Colts LT Anthony Castonzo (ankle) returned to a light workout Monday.

It's Castonzo's first practice of any kind since he suffered a high-ankle sprain on Oct. 3. His potential return for Sunday's home game against the Falcons would be a little boost for Curtis Painter and the passing game.

Colts LT Anthony Castonzo (ankle) has been downgraded to out for Week 8.

Castonzo has now missed four straight games, but is considered a good bet to return in Week 9. The Colts will also be without RT Ryan Diem and LG Joe Reitz against the Titans, once again leaving them extremely thin along their offensive line.

Colts LT Anthony Castonzo says he will return from his sprained left ankle "sooner rather than later."

Castonzo has missed three games with the injury. The Indianapolis Star suspects he will return next week or the week after. The Colts offensive line is a train wreck heading into Sunday's game with the Titans.

Anthony Castonzo - T - Colts

Colts LT Anthony Castonzo (ankle) is expected to miss "at least a few weeks," according to the Indianapolis Star.

Yikes. Castonzo wasn't dominating, but losing the No. 22 overall pick is going to turn this Colts' offensive line into an unmitigated disaster. Backup left tackle Ben Ijalana (ACL) is already on injured reserve, leaving Curtis Painter's blind side extremely vulnerable. The plan for now is to get Ryan Diem (ankle) back healthy and starting at right guard and kick Jeff Linkenbach to left tackle. A street free agent or third-stringer will end up starting on the right side.

Anthony Castonzo - T - Colts

According to the Associated Press, Colts LT Anthony Castonzo (ankle) is "likely to miss" Week 5 against Kansas City.

It's a major concern for Curtis Painter, particularly after backup LT Ben Ijalana went on I.R. Wednesday with a torn ACL. Castonzo may have a high ankle sprain. Look for the Colts to start Jeff Linkenbach at left tackle, where he'll square off with a red-hot Tamba Hali. Mike Tepper, Michael Toudouze, and Quinn Ojinnaka would all be candidates to step in on the right side.

No. 22 overall pick LT Anthony Castonzo was seen on crutches after Monday's game, and his injured left ankle was in a walking boot.

The seriousness of backup Ben Ijalana's back injury is unknown, and with all the mayhem we saw RT Jeff Linkenbach kicked over to LT and Mike Tepper go from the practice squad to RT in the same day. Aside from having a quarterback with too many problems to name here, Colts skill position players are working with one of the league's worst lines.

Rookie LT Anthony Castonzo left Monday's game with an ankle injury and did not return.

We'll update you as we learn more, but losing Castonzo for any length of time would be a decent-sized blow to the Colts. Backup G/T Ben Ijalana left the game due to a knee injury, forcing first-year practice squad call-up Mike Tepper to play RT with Jeff Linkenbach kicking over to the blindside. With RG Ryan Diem (ankle) also out, the Colts' line is a hot mess.

No. 22 overall pick LT Anthony Castonzo "held his own" in the Colts' preseason opener on Saturday.

Most of Castonzo's playing time came against the Rams' second team, but he did show quick instincts and good strength. That's great news for the Colts, who were all but forced to name Castonzo their starting blindside protector when Charlie Johnson bolted for Minnesota.

Anthony Castonzo - T - Colts

Colts agreed to terms with No. 22 overall pick LT Anthony Castonzo on a four-year contract.

One mid-July report suggested the Colts were no longer confident in Castonzo as the Week 1 blindside starter after missing offseason workouts. With Charlie Johnson now in Minnesota, they don't have much of a choice. A 54-game starter at Boston College, Castonzo was considered the most pro-ready lineman in the draft. He should be an upgrade on Johnson regardless.

Anthony Castonzo - T - Colts

According to the National Football Post, the lockout has "dimmed the hopes of the Colts’ coaching staff" for first-round pick Anthony Castonzo.

The Colts believed Castonzo would be able to immediately step in as their starting left tackle when he was taken at No. 22 overall in April, but no longer think so after an offseason without OTAs. The Colts' 2010 left tackle Charlie Johnson is an unrestricted free agent, but could be brought back to man the blindside early before being shifted to guard.

Colts GM Chris Polian confirmed that Anthony Castonzo will be expected to step right in as the starting left tackle.

"He's played it successfully," said Polian, "and we feel confident about him being able to come in and help us at that position." The Colts' brass has the look of the cat that ate the canary after Castonzo fell in their laps. "We never even considered he would be there (at No. 22)," team president Bill Polian said. Added coach Jim Caldwell, "This was a surprising opportunity."

Anthony Castonzo - T - Colts

Colts selected Boston College OT Anthony Castonzo with the No. 22 overall pick in the NFL draft.

A no-brainer for a Colts team that struggled to protect Peyton Manning and open holes in the running game last year. LT Charlie Johnson, a potential free agent, and RT Ryan Diem both graded out well below average in pass protection and run blocking. At 6'7/313 with ideal arm length, Castonzo started an impressive 54 games at Boston College. Considered by many evaluators the top offensive lineman in the draft, Castonzo projects as Manning's blindside protector starting from day one.
