The Indianapolis Colts defensive end Dwight Freeney has been confirmed to have a torn ligament in his right ankle and he was still unable to take part in any practice, but the All-Pro player remains hopeful that he would put on his Colts jersey to play in the Super Bowl game this Sunday.
“Hopefully, towards the end of the week it starts to get better,” Freeney said at Tuesday’s media day, wearing a pair of flip-flops with the injured ankle unwrapped. “The decision will come later on in the week. It’s kind of early now.”
Injuring the ankle in the AFC championship game against the New York Jets, Freeney admitted that the chances of working out later this week weren’t good. In order to get on the field in time, he has enlisted the help of chiropractors, slept in an oxygen chamber, used ice, regular therapy and anything else team doctors prescribed that may help to heal the ankle. If all the efforts fail, Freeney will be the only starter on either Super Bowl team to miss the game because of injury.
