Good news hasn’t been a regular occurrence for the Colts this year, but they got some on Wednesday when tight end Dallas Clark practiced fully.

Philip Wilson of the Indianapolis Star shared the good news about Clark’s return. He hasn’t been able to take part in a full practice since injuring his fibula against the Falcons on November 6th. With the Colts offense showing some life with Dan Orlovsky at the controls in New England last Sunday, Clark’s return could bode well for their chances of winning a game before the end of the season.

The absence of Peyton Manning this season meant that Clark wasn’t putting up his normal numbers before the injury. He has 28 catches for 287 yards and two touchdowns on the year, but Orlovsky has shown more interest in throwing to the tight ends than Curtis Painter did when Clark was in the lineup.
