Dwight Freeney's Ankle Good Enough for Colts Star To Play in Super Bowl XLIV

The Super Bowl XLIV mystery surrounding Indianapolis Colts defensive end Dwight Freeney's ankle has now been solved.

He will play.

Seen in this picture testing out his infamous ankle for approximately 10 straight minutes without any issues Freeney look good to those closely observing him.

"Freeney looked quick jumping out of his three point stance, but mostly just ran straight ahead.  He didn't appear to aggressively test his ankle until his last simulated snap before he headed back out to the locker room."

On that snap, Freeney took a series of short, choppy steps and looked to come out of it well.  We'll see in about 90 minutes how close to 100% he truly is," as reported by profootballtalk.com at 4:58pm EST.

Profootballtalk.com reported earlier today, that Freeney was walking around without a limb and this news verifies their earlier reports.

Whether or not Freeney is 100% will quickly be realized once the big game begins at 6:30pm EST.

Freeney will face Saints' left tackle Jermon Bushrod as long as his ankle holds up.
