INDIANAPOLIS -- ??? Maybe starting defensive tackle Henry Anderson will suit up Sunday.Perhaps Pro Bowl cornerback Vontae Davis will make it back this weekend, too.About the only clear thing heading into Sundays game against San Diego is this: The Indianapolis Colts injury-riddled defense needs some reinforcements.Were really banged up right now, waiting on guys to get back, said Anderson, who hasnt played since last November. I am eager to see how things shape out when were back to 100 percent.Dont expect that to be the case this weekend -- regardless of who returns from this rugged start.For the third straight season, Indy is attempting to stave off a 0-3 start -- largely because of poor tackling in a season-opening loss to Detroit and two turnovers that were returned for touchdowns last week at Denver.The offense has been inconsistent. Pat McAfee somehow managed to avoid having two punts blocked last weekend and the defense has been, well, decimated.Starting defensive tackle Art Jones will serve the third game of a four-game suspension for violating the leagues performance-enhancing substance policy on Sunday.Anderson said hes just waiting for final clearance from team doctors as he comes back from a torn ACL in his right knee and although starting defensive end Kendall Langford returned from arthroscopic knee surgery in early August, he hasnt been at his previous form.The secondary has been hit even harder. Last weekend, the Colts starting cornerbacks, Davis (ankle) and Patrick Robinson (concussion) and starting safety T.J. Green (sprained right knee) all sat out.Then, against the defending Super Bowl champs, the next two cornerbacks on the depth chart, recently signed Antonio Cromartie (shoulder) and Darius Butler (hamstring), both went down early in the game.Davis practiced Wednesday for the first time in almost a month, Robinson went through non-contact drills and Cromartie is expected to play.Butler, meanwhile, is expected to miss a few weeks, leaving the Colts in a potential predicament similar to the one they faced late against the Broncos.When we ran out of guys and we didnt have a guy to play the nickel positon and a guy like (Matthias) Farley, you look to him because he was the last guy standing at the time, coach Chuck Pagano said.It was third down and (defensive coordinator) Ted (Monachino) was asking if we had enough to go sub personnel. He looked at 41 (Farley) and asked if he knew what to do in nickel and he (Farley) said, Yes sir. So he runs in there and did a good job.Monachino said Thursday that Farley, a rookie from Notre Dame, hadnt even practiced at that spot but still made the tackle.Now, suddenly, things are starting to look more upbeat.Green and safety Clayton Geathers (sore foot) are both expected to play Sunday, possibly giving the Colts their top three safeties for the first time since June.Jones is eligible to return after Indys trip to London on Oct. 2. Davis recovered well enough from Wednesdays workout to do limited work again Thursday.If all goes according to plan, Sunday will be the first time since this summer that the Colts will have a starting defense even resembling what was anticipated.Players and fans are eager to see the results, even if it takes a few weeks to work it all out.When you have those guys start to come back, it opens up some other areas of the playbook, Monachino said Thursday. Its allowed us to game plan a little more this week. Im excited to see it.---Online: http://pro32.ap.org/poll and http://twitter.com/AP-NFLMichael Pineda Twins Jersey . The 18th player to shoot 60 on the tour, Jamieson settled for par on the final hole when his 15-foot birdie chip grazed the edge of the hole and stayed out. After opening with rounds of 66 and 73 to make the cut by a stroke, he had 11 birdies in the bogey-free round. Justin Morneau Twins Jersey . Down by seven with 90 seconds left in regulation, thats where they looked comfortable. http://www.twinssale.com/twins-martin-perez-jersey/ .Y. -- The Buffalo Sabres have recalled forward Kevin Porter and defenceman Chad Ruhwedel from the minors as part of a five-player roster shuffle made by the NHLs worst team. Jorge Polanco Jersey . It might not have mattered. While the Dodgers are preparing for the playoffs, the Padres showed their future has promise behind two rookies. Jake Odorizzi Twins Jersey . -- Damian Lillard and LaMarcus Alrdridge were again the go-to duo for the Trail Blazers against the Kings.Who: SK Telecom T1 (South Korea, 8-2) vs. ROX Tigers (South Korea, 8-3) When: Friday, Oct. 21 at 6:00 p.m. ET/3:00 p.m. PT Where: Madison Square Garden in New York City, New YorkWhats at stakeWould it be too hyperbolic to say this means everything (and maybe even more)? These two teams have been the center of the professional scene for two years now, and Fridays semifinal will be the most anticipated match in Worlds history. While 2014s semifinal match between sister teams Samsung Blue and Samsung White was an equally intriguing story (they were the two favorites to win the Summoners Cup), SKT and the Tigers have had an ongoing feud for more than 600 days at this point.Last year, SKT T1 defeated ROX -- then known as the KOO Tigers -- in the Summoners Cup Final to win its second title and define itself as the first international dynasty in League of Legends. Since then, KOO has upgraded its roster, won the most recent domestic league in South Korea and rolled through the quarterfinal stage, brushing aside the Chinese champion EDward Gaming. The only accomplishments left to cross off are to raise the Summoners Cup -- and maybe even more importantly -- defeat and eliminate the team that has haunted them for the past two years.SKT has a 3-0 record against ROX Tigers in best-of-five matchups, and this Sundays semifinal will be the first time the two arent meeting in a bracket final. The ROX Tigers mightve won South Koreas Champions league in the summer split of this year, but that was only after KT Rolster eliminated SKT T1 in the semifinals.Inside the hallowed halls of New Yorks Madison Square Garden, this could be the final chance for the Tigers to rewrite the wrongs of the past. Song Smeb Kyung-ho has made it clear that he wants the title of best in the world and the only way the ace top laner will ever fully receive that honor is if he defeats the games greatest player, SKT T1s two-time world champion, Lee Faker Sang-hyeok.A loss for SKT, wwhile prolific, would not break the organization.dddddddddddd It has two world titles, five domestic crowns and countless other accolades. A semifinal loss would just push Faker and the rest of the roster to grow stronger in the offseason.A loss for ROX, its fourth straight to SKT in a major best-of-five series and second-straight elimination from Worlds, could be the final blow that breaks apart the second-best team in the world. It has been given chance after chance to prove itself versus SKT; even when its been in better form, the Tigers havent been able to bring SKT to a fifth game. On Sunday, forcing them to a fifth game wont be enough -- there are no moral victories here for the Tigers.They have to win.Matchup to Watch: Kang Blank Sun-gu (SKT) vs. Han Peanut Wang-ho (ROX)A matchup between the newest members on each roster could be the deciding factor in this two-year feud. The two players, while similar in terms of mechanics, have almost inverse narratives going into the semifinal. Blank is a player that has lower lows than Peanut and has been a lot more inconsistent throughout the domestic campaign, and yet, hes constantly come up big when SKT has needed him the most. Peanut, on the other hand, is the exact opposite: Hes been the best jungler in matches where ROX is favored, but hes also had blunders in big matches.Blank and Peanut both had strong quarterfinal performances, but the loser of Fridays semifinal will have their run cut short. Blank has said throughout the tournament that the tough criticism thrown at him by the media throughout the year hasnt hurt him but actually made him stronger, and Peanut is as confident as they come.Faker and Smeb will be the two names you hear the most in this titanic clash of the worlds best; however, its the men in the jungle protecting them who might tip the scale.
