After injury

Raimann back in training with the Indianapolis Colts

Austrian NFL export Bernhard Raimann has returned to training with the Indianapolis Colts after recovering from a concussion. 

This was announced by head coach Shane Steichen. Raimann has reached the final stage of the league's "concussion protocol," which all players with concussion symptoms must complete, and has returned to full-contact drills. The left tackle could be fit in time for Sunday's home game against Buffalo.

Austrian as a regular
Raimann showed signs of a concussion after the loss to the Houston Texans at the end of October and subsequently missed all practices last week as well as the match against the Minnesota Vikings. On Wednesday, however, the Viennese was able to train fully again. If he gets the green light from the doctors, Raimann should be back on the field against the Bills on Sunday (7 p.m.).

The 27-year-old has developed into a regular in the Colts' offensive line. "He's done a great job there," Steichen said of Raimann. "He's a really smart player. It will be good to get him back." The return to the starting eleven around quarterback Joe Flacco would come just in time, as Steichen has two painful absences in the O-line with center Ryan Kelly (knee, calf) and guard Will Fries (fractured tibia).
