Colts K Adam Vinatieri Out 4-8 Weeks After Knee Surgery

The Colts want Adam Vinatieri at full strength later this season, one to two months from now. Until then, they’re content using another veteran kicker, Matt Stover.

Indianapolis signed Stover on Wednesday, one day after Vinatieri had arthroscopic surgery to remove a piece of cartilage in his right knee. To clear a roster spot, the Colts made a surprise move by waiving starting defensive tackle Ed Johnson.

“Last week, Adam felt his knee was giving him a little bit of a problem, so he had an MRI,” coach Jim Caldwell said. “They saw some loose cartilage in there and we felt we wanted to get that done now with the bye week. In doing that, we had to look for someone to take his spot and we found Matt Stover.”
