Colts' Diem, Simon Return to Practice After Injuries
Both Players Are Listed as Probable to Face Steelers
INDIANAPOLIS (Jan. 11) - Indianapolis Colts right tackle Ryan Diem and defensive tackle Corey Simon both returned to practice Wednesday.
Diem, a starter, had been out since spraining a ligament in his left knee Dec. 18 against San Diego. It was the first time he'd practiced since the injury and is listed as probable for Sunday's divisional playoff game against Pittsburgh.
Simon, a former Pro Bowl player, also practiced after recovering from a sprained left foot. Simon was hurt Dec. 11 against Jacksonville and sat out the final three games. He, too, is probable.
"I feel good, I feel 100 percent," said Simon, the Colts' run-stuffer. "It's playoff time, and I'm ready to go."
The Colts (14-2) had 14 players on the injury report - all listed probable.
Backup tight end Ben Utecht went home early Wednesday because of the flu, and backup defensive back Kelvin Hayden missed the last part of practice after injuring his right ankle.
Colts officials were not available afterward to discuss the severity of Hayden's injury. He is expected to be added to the injury report Thursday.
