Dungy not expecting injured stars to play


Both Joseph Addai and Marvin Harrison will be held out of Wednesday's practice, and Colts coach Tony Dungy indicated the team is prepared to play without them. "I'm not expecting any of them to play," Dungy told the Indianapolis Star of the quintet of injured Colts, including Addai and Harrison. "If they practice by Friday or Saturday and can go [we'll see]. What we've got to do is get our backup guys ready to play." Dungy added that if the injured players were available it would be "a bonus." Better get Kenton Keith and Aaron Moorehead warming up in the bullpen. We'll know more on Friday if either Addai or Harrison—or Ben Utecht or Bob Sanders, for that matter; Rob Morris is already done for the year—return to practice. Indy has a bye in week six, so the decision may be to give Joe and Marv an extra week off to rest up for the playoff push.
