BREAKING NEWS: Indianapolis Colts DE, Dwight Freeney, injured his foot Sunday Night against San Diego. He was put on IR earlier today. He was diagnosed with a Lisfranc injury, and it may require surgery. Even if he doesnt't undergo surgery, it will still take him months to recover. Most of the time when people suffer from Lisfranc injuries, they have to rehabilitate for months before going back to their normal lifestyle.
He was carted off the field to the locker room during the game on Sunday, and he left Qualcomm Stadium wearing a boot. Freeney believes he suffered the injury, when a Chargers blocker stepped on his foot when he was making a spin move. Indy also placed backup LB Victor Worsley on the IR today. Indy claimed former Cards, Bucs, and Broncos DE, Simeon Rice, off waivers on Monday and he practiced with the team today.
Michael Strahan suffered a similar injury last year, which also ended his season, but is healthy this year.
Why is ESPN asking the question: "Will the Colts make the playoffs?" Of course they will, just because they lost Freeney, and Peyton had one (actually two) bad games, they want to ask if the Colts will make the playoffs? Don't worry, they will be there in January, but I am not sure about February.
