IndyStar.com is reporting that the Indianapolis Colts picked up veteran DE Simeon Rice off waivers from the Denver Broncos. Rice is expected to fill in for the injured Dwight Freeney over the course of the next few weeks. Freeney injured his ankle late in the Colt's Sunday night loss to the Chargers, and is expected to miss at least 3-4 games.
This is a smart pickup for the Colts. Rice obviously knows the Cover 2 from his days in Tampa with Dungy, and will be a nice fill-in until Freeney returns. Though it is unknown what his role will then be or what the Colts did to free up a roster spot for Rice.
