| (MySportsbook) - The Indianapolis Colts will attempt to move one step closer to securing a first-round playoff bye this Sunday at Reliant Stadium, where the AFC powerhouses visit a Houston Texans team they have owned in recent years. The Colts earned a playoff spot when division-rival Jacksonville lost to Tennessee last Sunday, giving Indy the AFC South championship for the fourth consecutive year. Still, the Colts were hardly building up steam for a postseason run heading into Monday's matchup with the red-ho |

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -Indianapolis Colts rookie runner Joseph Addai practiced Friday and has been cleared to play Sunday against the Texans in his hometown of Houston. Addai had sat out two days of workouts this week to rest a sprained right ankle that he hurt in the third quarter of Monday night's 34-16 win over Cincinnati. Initial reports had Addai sidelined indefinitely with a high ankle sprain, but Colts coach Tony Dungy was adamant the injury wasn't serious and that Addai might be ready to play at Housto |

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -Reggie Wayne may always get overlooked playing next to Marvin Harrison. At least now, he knows he's part of the Pro Bowl club. Wayne, Harrison and two-time MVP Peyton Manning were among five Indianapolis Colts named to the AFC squad Tuesday, four fewer than conference-leading San Diego and two fewer than the NFC's best team, Chicago. The Bears and Chargers are both 12-2. The Colts thought Wayne had Pro Bowl-worthy stats each of the last two years, though he was bypassed in the voting by |

Harrison, in line for his eighth straight Pro Bowl selection Tuesday, hasn't let team doctors examine the hand nor has he missed any practice time, although coach Tony Dungy acknowledged it has bothered th |
