We have our one billionth update on the injured Indianapolis trio of stars -- Bob Sanders, Dwight Freeney, and Peyton Manning:Sanders told reporters on Monday that he felt good and was ready to start practicing on Tuesday. Coach Tony Dungy says he expects both Sanders and Freeney to return to action by Wednesday at the latest.Of course, we were told they "should" be ready by the time the team broke camp on August 15th as well. A few days is not a big deal, and you have to believe the guys were pushed back a bit just because there was a pre-season game Saturday night and there was no reason to push things. They are planning, however, on seeing the field Sunday night in Indy:
"If they don't have any setbacks in practice I think they both will play and have a limited pitch count,'' Dungy said.Also of note in this piece is that Peyton Manning could be back practicing next week. If that's truly the case, there's no way he'll miss the start of the season ... as opposed to a little something that came out earlier today.
We'll let you know again next week when Manning's going to "wait another week."
