Andrew Luck is getting his blindside protector back.

Indianapolis Colts left tackle Anthony Castonzo says he'll be back for Sunday's game against Washington after missing time due to a hamstring injury. Castonzo left practice Aug. 3 during training camp after previously sustaining a hamstring injury in July while conditioning away from the team.

Castonzo was asked Wednesday if he would play against Washington and left no ambiguity.

" Absolutely," he said. "No question."




Castonzo returned to practice last week, but was not fully ready to go.

Joe Haeg started at left tackle in his place and will likely move back to the right side with Castonzo's return. J'Marcus Webb, who started at right tackle against the Bengals, was placed on injured reserve with a hamstring injury,


"I missed one and a half practices last week because I got sick, and that set me back," Castonzo said. That was an issue. Now that I’m full go, I’m feeling good. (The hamstring) is doing well. I don’t have to think about it, which is nice."

Castonzo nearly came back and played in Week 1.

"It was extremely close," Castonzo said. "I talked it over with coaches and doctors. It came down to me going out there having not put any load on it, which would’ve been a really high risk, that’s what we decided on."
