The buzz from Colts media day was Dwight Freeney and his ankle. More media were with Freeney than Peyton Manning. The questions came fast and furious, but Freeney gave us some insight on the process he is going through and how likely he is going to play on Sunday.
Here is what he had to say:
“The ankle is pretty much day-to-day. Every morning I wake up hoping [it will be better]. It’s all right, I don’t know if I can stretch it way out here [lifts leg]. It’s just day-to-day. Hopefully toward the end of the week it starts to get better. It still has a little bit of swelling left, trying to get it out.”
“There is some pain there. As you guys know, it’s a torn ligament, so there’s definitely going to be pain there. I’m just going to deal with it, just trying to get the swelling down, and just trying to get back to what I do.”
“I’m doing a little, bit of everything. You name it, I’ve probably done it. Chiropractic, from oxygen cambers, to regular therapy, to ice, to everything, everything.”
So Freeney did confirm with the Colts had been refuting that he has a torn ligament in his ankle. It appears he will give it a shot and play, but how effective he will be is anyone’s guess.
