Colts punter Rigoberto Sanchez hopes to return to practice this week after undergoing surgery to remove a cancerous tumor, according to the Indianapolis Star's Joel Erickson.

Sanchez underwent surgery to remove his tumor on Dec. 1. Indianapolis' punter said the surgery "went well" adding he was "overwhelmed by all the love and support" sent his way.

The 26-year-old punter returned to the Colts' facility last week. Sanchez could return to the field at some point in the 2020 season, though he is unlikely to play against the Texans on Sunday, per Erickson.
