Freeman (ribs) did not practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Freeman recorded nine tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's game against the Falcons, so it remains to be seen when the 29-year-old may have injured his ribs. While his lack of availability at practice Wednesday is a bit alarming, his game-time status likely won't be decided until the end of the week.

Freeman (groin) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints, Stephen Holder of the Indianapolis Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

Freeman was able to participate in practice on a limited basis Thursday and Friday to guarantee his availability for Sunday's contest. The middle linebacker has racked up 36 tackles and a sack across five games this season.

Freeman is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Saints.

EDGE Analysis

When Freeman has been able to play, he's been a consistent tackling machine -- he's recorded tackle totals of 6, 10, 10 and 9 when playing 50+ snaps in a game. With the high-flying Saints offense set to take the field against the Colts on Sunday, Freeman could be in line for more gaudy tackle numbers this week.

Freeman (groin) was a limited participant in practice Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Freeman appears to be on track to suit against the Saints in Week 7, but that designation likely won't come until after Friday's practice. The middle linebacker recorded nine tackles (six solo) against the Patriots last Sunday even though he was listed on the team's injury report all week.

Freeman (groin) didn't practice Wednesday, Kevin Bowen of Colts.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Freeman was able to play in Sunday's matchup against the Patriots despite an injury to his groin, so his practice status Wednesday doesn't necessarily indicate his availability this week against the Saints. That determination will likely arrive later in the week.

EDGE Analysis

Freeman suffered the injury in Week 4 and missed Week 5, but he'll be back for Sunday's marquee matchup with the Patriots. He had 26 tackles in the Colts' first three games, and he should return to an every-down role Sunday night.

Freeman (groin) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Kevin Bowen of Colts.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Freeman injured his groin in Week 4's win over the Jaguars, which caused him to miss last weeks game against the Texans. He was limited at practice on Thursday, so a decision on whether or not to play may come down to game-time on Sunday.

Freeman (groin) was a limited participant at practice Thursday, Kevin Bowen of Colts.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's a good sign for Freeman, who wasn't able to play against the Texans last week with a mysterious groin injury. His status for this Sunday likely won't be determined until the weekend, but his practice status Friday could give IDP owners an indication of his availability against the Patriots.

Freeman (groin) did not practice Wednesday, Kevin Bowen of colts.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Freeman missed most of Week 3 and all of Week 4 with a nagging groin injury, and it appears as if that same injury could affect his chance at playing against the Patriots this Sunday as well. His practice status should be worth monitoring in the coming days, but if he is unable to go Nate Irving could see additional time at inside linebacker.

Freeman (groin) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Texans, Kevin Bowen of Colts.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

IDP owners who had been relying on Freeman, who recorded back-to-back 10-tackle efforts in Weeks 2 and 3, will thus need to find a replacement at the linebacker position for their lineups in Week 5.
