Freeney misses third straight Colts practice

Indianapolis Colts' defensive end Dwight Freeney (93) celebrates his sack of St. Louis Rams' quarterback Marc Bulger in the second quarter of their NFL game in St. Louis, Missouri October 25, 2009.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Indianapolis Colts defensive end Dwight Freeney missed his third practice in as many days with an ankle injury, the team said on Friday with just over a week to go before the Super Bowl.

Freeney, one of seven Indianapolis Colts elected to this weekend's Pro Bowl, injured his right ankle during his team's 30-17 win over the New York Jets in the AFC Championship game last weekend.

Indianapolis will play the New Orleans Saints in the Super Bowl, the NFL's championship game, on February 7 in Miami.

The NFL released an official injury report late on Friday listing Freeney as questionable for next week's game.
