Indi­anapo­lis Colts head coach Chuck Pagano [[ puh-GAH-noh ]] could be one step closer to a return to the side­lines. The ail­ing coach fin­ished his third and final round of chemother­apy on Tues­day in his bat­tle with leukemia. Doc­tors say he could return to coach the Colts’ regular-season finale against the Hous­ton Tex­ans on Decem­ber 30th.
