INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -Colts safety Bob Sanders, still recovering from a knee injury, practiced Tuesday and is expected to play in Indianapolis' playoff game at Baltimore on Saturday.
Running back Joseph Addai didn't practice because of a chest injury, but it appears he'll also play.
If Sanders, who made last season's Pro Bowl team, does play, it would mark the first time since mid-September he has been available in back-to-back games. He had arthroscopic surgery on the knee after a Sept. 17 victory over Houston.
``I feel good,'' Sanders said Tuesday. ``I came in (Monday) and it felt real good. That's the best I've felt since I got back out there.''
Coach Tony Dungy said he expected Sanders to start and added that the Colts sustained no significant injuries in Saturday's 23-8 victory over Kansas City when the defense - sparked by Sanders' return - delivered its best performance of the season.
As for Addai's chest injury, Dungy didn't even mention it.
Still, the Colts (13-4) added several players to their injury list.
The biggest concerns remain starting guard Ryan Lilja, who has missed the last two games with a strained right knee, and No. 3 receiver Ricky Proehl (hamstring).
Both missed at least part of practice Tuesday. Dungy closed practice to the media for the second straight week.
Other injured starters include linebacker Gary Brackett (ankle), right tackle Ryan Diem (shoulder), cornerback Nick Harper (ankle) and defensive end Robert Mathis (hip).
Dungy said several players have undergone MRIs since Saturday's game, but the results showed nothing significant.
Addai ran for 122 yards and a touchdown against the Chiefs, while Brackett, Harper, Mathis and Diem all played against Kansas City.
