The Jim Caldwell era as head coach will begin as the Colts host the Jaguars. Peyton Manning is healthy and will find his weapons back on offense. The team won 9 straight to close the regular season, as Peyton Manning was getting healthy and his timing back recovering from his injury. Running back Joseph Adadai looked good in the preseason after going through off-season knee surgery. The team’s first round pick was running back Donald Brown out of Connecticut and has impressed Colts coaches. On the defensive side safety Bob Sanders status is questionable following off-season knee surgery. Saunders missed the entire preseason. On the Jacksonville Jaguar side head coach Jack Del Rio is on the hot seat as the team is coming off a disappointing 5-11 record a year ago. The team suffered injuries in 2008 to key personnel on their offensive line. The team drafted offensive tackles 1-2 in the 2009 draft to improve protection for quarterback David Garrard. Garrard was unable to match his outstanding 2007 numbers as he was hurried in the pocket due to lack of pass protection. Garrard will have veteran Torry Holt at wide receiver for the Jaguars this season. The Jaguars are hoping that Maurice Jones-Drew can play on Sunday after injuring his shin in the final preseason game.
