FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - Coach Jim Caldwell says the Colts are preparing to play without defensive end Dwight Freeney in the Super Bowl, though he remains hopeful the All-Pro defensive end will suit up for the game.
Freeney's sprained right ankle kept him out of practice most of last week. He was already in Florida when the team held its final workout of the season in Indy on Sunday.
Caldwell says Freeney has healed quickly from injuries in the past. However, he said the team is working on a rotation that would be used if Freeney doesn't play.
