Doss out for the season

Colts safety Mike Doss will undergo knee surgery in the next few days for an ACL tear and will be lost for the rest of the season, coach Tony Dungy confirmed on Monday. Doss was hurt in the Colts' 36-22 win over the Redskins on Sunday.

"It's tough because you just don't expect it. You're playing great and all of a sudden one play. That's life. But the big thing about it is that you can bounce back. You can come back. But the finality of being out for the year is tough," Dungy said after Monday's practice."He had played well for us. And when we needed it. When Bob (Sanders) was out. He had gotten two game balls in five games. He'll be back. But not being able to play is the worst part of it."
Sanders is listed as questionable for this Sunday's game at Denver, but Colts officials are hopeful he will play. Defensive tackle Montae Reagor, who suffered a head injury in an automobile accident before the Redskins game, is not expected to play this week.

The loss of Doss is a tough one. After losing his starting job to Antoine Bethea, Doss worked hard for playing time and made the most of his time filling in for Sanders.
