Entering Week 4 of the National Football League (NFL), the Indianapolis Colts look to be getting their roster back intact.

Hopefully, this will help the Colts steer the season back on track as they are only at 1–2 after their first three games. Now, they are getting a big boost with their secondary as many players are slated for a return.

The Colts lost their first two games of the season and finally won one in Week 3 when they beat the San Diego Chargers 26–22. During that time, defensive coordinator Ted Monachino was constantly tinkering around with the defence as he lacked the reliable names that made up most of the roster in the initial assessment.

At a certain time, the Colts had Antonio Cromartie, Darryl Morris and Rashaan Melvin as their top three cornerbacks. Those three players are great on their own right but have only been in the team for a few months.

Now, it appears that cornerback Patrick Robinson may be making his way back, and talks say that he can be available in Week 4 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

This is great news for the team as they are also welcoming back safeties TJ Green and Clayton Geathers, cornerback Vontae Davis, and defensive lineman Henry Anderson to the line-up.

Safety Mike Adams expressed his delight in the return of key players, saying: "Finally. We're slowly but surely getting our guys back," ESPN reports. 

Among all the names, Robinson is the one most are excited about.

After suffering a concussion against the Denver Broncos, Robinson had to go through rigorous procedures to pass the concussion protocol. Now cleared for full participation, Robinson is eyeing a comeback and he can't hide his excitement.

"It's no fun going through the process like this, especially when you want to be out there on the field," he said, adding, "But I'm clear now, and I'm ready."

This is certainly good news for the Colts and they are now looking to take the season head on.
