"Defensive end Dwight Freeney completed a second consecutive week without practicing because of a Grade III sprain to his right ankle. Freeney spent the practice session on a golf cart.

Coach Jim Caldwell said after practice that Freeney continued to improve. Freeney's availability against the New Orleans Saints likely won't be determined until pregame warm-ups. If Freeney plays, he probably will be limited to pass-rush situations."
