Jim Caldwell Talks Dwight Freeney’s Health, In Coach Speak

We’re sitting in Jim Caldwell’s press conference at the moment. He’s not done speaking as this is published but I wanted to update the status of Dwight Freeney’s ankle sprain.

Here’s the update: There is no update.

In typical coach speak, Caldwell didn’t give up much.

“If he can’t go – it’s the old mantra that we’ve set time and time again – the next guy’s up,” he said.

However, Caldwell did say that Freeney has been good about getting back on the field sooner than expected.

“He’s been a quick healer,” Caldwell said.

“If he’s not practicing,” he continued, “we’re preparing as if he’s not going to play. If we get him an opportunity to get him to play, then obviously we’ll get him in there.”

After Freeney, popular topics included the South Florida rain (it rained three years ago when the Colts played the Bears) and his relationship with Tony Dungy.
