Freeney questionable; Sanders still sidelined for Colts Indianapolis, IN (Sports Network) - Indianapolis Colts defensive end Dwight
Freeney was back at practice Friday after sitting the past two days with a
hamstring injury.
Freeney is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Baltimore.
Safety Bob Sanders will again sit because of ankle and knee injuries. The
reigning Defensive Player of the Year hasn't played since the second game of
the season when he sustained a high ankle sprain against Minnesota. He then
underwent an arthroscopic procedure for his knee in late September.
Left tackle Tony Ugoh has been struggling as he recovers from a groin injury, and the Colts plan to wait until he is 100 percent before putting him back in the lineup, Pro Football Weekly reports. Charlie Johnson has been working in his place.
Our View:Ugoh is a solid left tackle, but the Colts obviously don't want to expose Peyton Manning by having him struggle on the blindside. Hopefully Ugoh can get back to 100 percent soon because the Colts (and fantasy owners) need him.
Colts defensive end Dwight Freeney should be able to play Week 6 when the team takes on the Baltimore Ravens, according to the Indianapolis Star. "All those guys we think should be available," Colts coach Tony Dungy said.
Our View:Freeney, who is dealing with a hamstring injury, practiced on Friday, raising expectations. He has had a very good season, and though he has only 10 tackles, he also has three sacks and forced two fumbles.
