If he plays, the Saints are dead.
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Indianapolis Colts All-Pro defensive end Dwight Freeney says the pain in his sprained right ankle is subsiding and he still hopes play in Sunday’s Super Bowl.
Freeney said Wednesday that in addition to using an oxygen tent, he has been walking barefoot and in the Florida sand to strengthen the ankle.
It appears to be working.
Though it’s been a slow progression, Freeney says the ankle feels a little better each day.
One other Colts starter, cornerback Jerraud Powers, also is questionable with a left foot injury. Coach Jim Caldwell said Powers is improving but he may not practice until later this week.
Powers told reporters he is cutting on the foot and expects to play against the Saints.
