WR Wayne is expected to play Sunday despite knee injury

All-Pro defensive end Dwight Freeney is still questionable for Sunday’s Super Bowl game against the New Orleans Saints; another Colts starter got a scaring injury during Friday’s practice. It was wide receiver Reggie Wayne who had to leave practice 20 minutes early after hurting his right knee.

Coach Jim Caldwell said Wayne hurt the soft tissue below his kneecap. Wayne is listed as probable and Caldwell plans on him playing against the Saints in his No. 7 Colts jersey. Wayne got through the injury most of the season, and Friday’s hurt aggravated the injury.

Freeney continued missing practice and the Colts remain uncertain whether he would play the game. As Freeney said he would test the ankle Friday, Caldwell said Freeney might do some running or participate in a simulated practice later in the day. It’s likely that Freeney could work out Saturday.
