Colts DE Dwight Freeney In For A Limited Role Against Packers?

Phillip Wilson of the Indianapolis Star reports that Colts DE Dwight Freeney, who suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 1, could be available for Sundayโ€™s game against the Packers, but figures to be limited to the role of a situational pass rusher.

โ€œWith those type of injuries, they kind of linger, having the high ankle,โ€ Freeney said  โ€œI hope to play but that doesnโ€™t mean itโ€™s going to happen, itโ€™s really a day-to-day deal.โ€

High-ankle sprains usually take four to six weeks to heal, so this is at least a good sign for status in the weeks to come. Indianapolis has been hit hard with injuries in recent, so even having Freeney on a limited basis could help against a very questionable Packers offensive line, who has allowed 36 sacks this season.
