NFL Network’s Jason La Canfora reports that Colts defensive end Dwight Freeney (ankle) will play Sunday against the Saints.
Colts president Bill Polian leaked the news to La Canfora.
However, Gregg Rosenthal reports live from Sun Life Stadium that Freeney is not on the field for warmups yet. Roughly half of the Colts’ roster is.
Each team’s inactives for Super Bowl XLIV will be posted shortly.
UPDATE: Freeney is officially active and starting for the Colts. The inactives for Indianapolis are TE Colin Cloherty, OT Michael Toudouze, DL John Gill, G/C Mike Pollack, DE Ervin Baldwin, WR Sam Giguere, K Adam Vinatieri, and DT Fili Moala.

And did we think he was just going to sit out in the biggest game of the year? Of course Freeney was going to play, or at least attempt to play.
OMG really? He’s going to play in the SUPER BOWL despite lingering injuries? Is there any precedent for this?
