So much for getting healthy

I just heard the injury report on the radio. Still no Diem, Marvin, Tim Jennings, Charlie Johnson (is that good or bad?), and many others in practice today. Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeez. Let's just hope that the situation improves throughout the week. I didn't hear about whether Ugoh practiced or not, so I would hope that means that he did.

Injury report

From Colts.com:

"Also on Wednesday, the Colts released their first injury report of the week, with offensive tackle Ryan Diem (ankle), offensive tackle Dan Federkeil (concussion), wide receiver Marvin Harrison (knee), cornerback Dante Hughes (shoulder), cornerback Tim Jennings (upper leg), offensive tackle Charlie Johnson (hamstring), safety Bob Sanders (team decision) and tight end Ben Utecht (groin) listed as not participating in practice.

"We'll take it as we go," Dungy said. "We'll see how guys do. The thing you have to worry about with guys who haven't been there in a while is how they respond to practice and what happens in the next couple of days. We'll probably know a little bit more on Friday." "

I heard on a little snipet on the radio this morning that Marvin did actually practice in limited participation yesterday. Who knows.

Also, did anyone else catch Manning's post game, on field interview after the Falcons game? He said something to the effect of "It's no real secret to us who's playing and who's not playing - we know that on Monday." That's similar to what Keith said earlier in the year when Addai sat out. When asked by reporters when he found out that he was going to play, he said something like "I knew all week. We just didn't tell you all."

I'm sure there is a good, gamesmanship-type reason that teams are so shady about injuries these days, but it sure drives me batty.

So if Manning said that after the game....

and said this on indystar (http://www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071129/SPORTS03/711290446):

"Asked whether he was looking forward to getting the eight-time Pro Bowl player back for Sunday's game with Jacksonville, quarterback Peyton Manning replied, 'Yeah. I wouldn't count on it.'"

Sounds like a little "gamesmanship" going on here as well......Maybe this does in fact mean that Marvin will play, and that Peyton is just trying to cast some doubt about it.

Or maybe I'm just thinking about this way too hard ;)
