Freeney

The Colts defense could use a lift in 2008, and that lift would come big-time if Dwight Freeney is ready to go and be a force again in week one.  The good news on that front is that team insiders say that Freeney is well on his way to be back in playing condition by the Bears opener.  The DE has been trying to come back from a Lisfranc (foot) injury, and while he’s been working through the offseason on it, there was some thoughts about when he’d be 100 percent.  Team doctors have reportedly told him that he’s ahead of schedule with his return, which is great news for the Colts defense.
