The goal for Anderson is to be ready for Week One, which would place his recovery period right around 10 months post ACL surgery.

When Anderson went down against Denver, his name was being thrown around as a Defensive Rookie of the Year candidate.

It took about a week before he got over the initial shock of seeing his rookie season come to an end so suddenly.

"I was pretty disappointed because I felt like I was improving throughout the year and some of the stuff that I wasn't doing at the beginning of the year I was getting better at as time went on," Anderson says.

"Once I had my surgery, I kind of flipped a switch and was ready to attack it. If you feel sorry for yourself you are going to go into rehab kind of sad and not really get much done. But if you go in with the goal that you're going to get better, you are eventually going to get better."

When the Colts begin Training Camp in July, Anderson will be the injury to watch.

His disruption as a 3-4 defensive end carried from the college game to the professional level.
