While the Indianapolis Colts are 6-point favorites for Super Bowl XLIV, the line could change due to the fact that DE Dwight Freeney reportedly has a right ankle injury.
During a media day press conference, Freeney expressed optimism regarding his status for Sunday’s championship game.
“Hopefully, towards the end of the week it starts to get better,” Freeney said.
“The decision will come later on in the week. It’s kind of early now.”
ESPN reported that Freeney “has a torn ligament in his right ankle that will make it difficult for him to play against the New Orleans Saints in Super Bowl XLIV.”
Freeney is doing everything possible in order to be ready for Sunday’s game, even heading down to Miami, Florida early to receive treatment via a hyperbaric chamber, which uses oxygen to aid in healing.
“There’s some pain there definitely with throwing everything at it, all types of techniques to find the best thing to get this thing as good as possible,” explained Freeney.
“You name it, I’ve probably done it.”
During the regular season, the DE led the Colts with 13.5 sacks and was third in the league as well.
The Colts are favored by a field goal in First Half betting with the Total set at 28.
