Miami Dolphins safety Yeremiah Bell says teams are copying the way Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning has used Dallas Clark and other tight ends. ``The easiest throw is over the middle where a quarterback doesn't have to make a lot of reads,'' Bell said. ``You're starting to see tight ends run crossing routes where the q |

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -The Indianapolis Colts defense may finally be getting healthy. On Wednesday, safety Bob Sanders had his most extensive practice time since training camp started and linebacker Gary Brackett returned to the practice field for the first time since spraining his left knee at Miami in Week 2. Coach Jim Caldwell wouldn't say definitively if either would play Sunday night at Tennessee, but the Colts clearly expect Brackett to return this week after releasing backup linebacker Jordan Senn.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -The Indianapolis Colts believe their real defense has arrived, one that shuts down running backs, chases down quarterbacks and one that forces turnovers. In the two games since the Colts escaped with a win in Miami, they have looked like a different team.
