ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Indianapolis Colts defensive end Dwight Freeney has a torn ligament in right ankle that has him listed as "questionable" for Super Bowl XLIV, and could even keep him out of the game entirely.
Freeney injured his ankle while pressuring New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez during the AFC Championship game.
Schefter adds that the torn ligament has caused significant swelling and pain this week, which has affected the stability of his ankle and caused Freeney a hard time even walking during the bye week.
Freeney does have a history of being a quick healer, an example of which came in Week 4 of the 2009 regular season. After injuring his quadriceps in Week 3, Freeney was thought to be sidelined for several weeks. Freeney not only started the following week against the Seattle Seahawks, he had a pair of tackles, including a quarterback sack, and pressured Seahawks quarterback Seneca Wallace on multiple occasions.
