Indianapolis, IN (My Sportsbook) - Indianapolis running back Edgerrin James, who is still suffering from a sprained right ankle injury suffered against Dallas on November 17, returned to practice Thursday morning and is expected to start against the Houston Texans on Sunday. James, the Colts' starting running back in nine of 11 games this season, aggravated the ankle injury and had to leave the game late in the fourth quarter of the Colts' overtime victory against the Denver Broncos last Sunday. He missed practice Wednesday, but decided to test the ankle on Thursday. "He did OK and didn't seem to have any ill-effects," head coach Tony Dungy said. "He made it through everything and made it through all the drills. We'll see how he is tomorrow, but that was encouraging." The 24-year-old James has rushed for 713 yards and two touchdowns on 204 carries this season. |
