Freeney should be ready: Colts coach Tony Dungy told ESPN that he expects DE Dwight Freeney (foot) to return in Week 1. "We've got, fortunately, one of the best foot doctors in the country, Dr. Dave Porter, who's working on this," Dungy said. "He tells us Dwight should make a complete recovery. But it's always kind of scary with a guy like that whose speed is his big asset. He needs to come back full strength, but everything right now indicates that he's going to do that." Freeney probably won't be ready at the start of training camp but the team's been told he should be good to go for the regular season opener against Chicago Sept. 7. (Updated 07/09/2008).
