Months after finishing the 2009 season earlier than most other players wearing the Cleveland Browns jerseys because of the foot injuries that put him on injured reserve, quarterback Brady Quinn, now in the Denver Broncos jersey, says he has been fully recovered from the injury and will be healthy enough for the new season.
The former Notre Dame star passed a physical Tuesday that finalized the trade that sent him to Denver, and he said his left foot injury, a severe Lisfranc sprain that forced him to be in a walking boot for two months, is no longer an issue.
Quinn also had to finish the 2008 season on injured reserve because of a broken finger. Without having a surgery on the injured foot, Quinn hopes he could avoid serious injuries that could cause him to end the third consecutive season on injured reserve.

Colts have plan of playing Super Bowl without DE Freeney
As many fans are still wondering whether the Indianapolis Colts defensive end Dwight Freeney will put on his Colts jersey to play this Sunday’s Super Bowl game against the New Orleans Saints, the Colts have already been preparing for a playoff without Freeney.
According to Colts Coach Jim Caldwell, the Colts remain hopeful that the All-Pro defensive end will be fine enough to play the game in time, but they are already working on a rotation in case Freeney cannot play. After all the sprained right ankle has kept him out of practice for most of last week and it is really questionable for him to recover fully from the injury by game time. Even if he is able to play, there are still concerns about how effective he could be.
They remain hopeful because Freeney has history of healing fast- he returned seven days after hurting his quadriceps in late September, and the Colts really need his incredible speed, remarkable spin moves and leverage to attack opponents.

Steelers’ safety Polamalu has been ruled out for Sunday game
After missing all week’s practice with a left knee injury, the Pittsburgh Steelers safety Troy Polamalu has been ruled out for this Sunday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Polamalu missed four of Steelers’ past five games because of a ligament tear and injured the same knee again on his first returning game: last Sunday’s 18-12 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. And it is very likely that he will miss more than one game after being injured again, but perhaps less than four because the latest injury to a different ligament seems less serious than the previous one.
Along with Polamalu, defensive end Travis Kirscheke has also been rule out of this Sunday’s game and it will be the third consecutive he will miss since tearing his left calf muscle. Originally filling in for Aaron Smith who is out for season with a torn right rotator cuff, Kirschke will be replaced by Nick Eason this Sunday. And Tyrone Carter will put on his Steelers jersey and start in replacing Polamalu.

Cowboys safety Sensabaugh will miss a month to repair broken plate in thumb
The Dallas Cowboys safety Gerald Sensabaugh will be out up to a month to have a surgery on his right thumb, which was broken while he was still in college. A broken plate needs to be repaired through the surgery.
After breaking the thumb in college, Sensabaugh had a plate implanted, but unfortunately, he cracked the plate Sunday during the game against the Broncos at Denver. Patrick Watkins will replace him during the time he is out.
Sensabaugh played the week after his operation in college, but Coach Wade Phillips said Monday that he doesn’t expect such a quick turnaround this time. They also did not expect running back Marion Barber to be injured in thigh and receiver Roy Williams to injure three ribs during the Denver game. Williams will be re-evaluated this week.
