The Indianapolis Star reported Saturday that Marvin Harrison was back on the practice field Friday after missing Thursday with an undisclosed injury to his right wrist. The Star reported that Harrison is expected to start Sunday against Cleveland. The team doesn't expect him to be limited by the injury and also won't restrict his playing time. "I think he'll be fine," coach Tony Dungy told the Star after Friday's practice. "His gut feeling is he's going to be OK and my sense is he will be, too. I think we're planning on playing him."

The Indianapolis Colts signed coach Tony Dungy to a three-year extension valued at an estimated $15 million. "It's something that was pretty easy to do," Irsay said Monday. "He knew how much I wanted him to be here for an extended period of time, and I didn't have any problem with making him paid with the top coaches in his profession, which he deserves."

The Colts want Tony Dungy to coach their team for the forseeable future. Before Sunday night's game against the Ravens, owner Jim Irsay announced that he had extended Dungy's contract for another three years, taking him to the 2009 season, The Indianapolis Star reported. In three seasons with the Colts, Dungy has guided the team to a 35-14 record and led the Colts to the AFC Championship Game in 2003.

The Tennessee Titans sent linebacker to the Indianapolis Colts in exchange for an undisclosed draft choice in next year?s draft. He didn't doubt that his address might change on NFL cut-down day, "but when I heard the Colts were a possibility ? I kept thinking in the back of my mind, 'They would never let me go to the Colts, a division rival,' '' Calmus said. "It was a very difficult situation from the standpoint of letting go a great person and a fine player of starter caliber like Rocky, but with Brad (Kassell's) emergence and the emergence of the younger players behind him we took advantage of need,'' Titans Coach Jeff Fisher said.

After violating the NFL?s substance abuse policy repeated times, linebacker Kendyll Pope was handed down the stiffest penalty allowed, a one-year suspension without pay. The team announced the disciplinary action Tuesday, and the league Wednesday spelled out the length of the suspension and the reason it was assessed. In a statement, the league noted Pope "has been suspended for a minimum of one calendar year for violating the NFL substance abuse policy. The suspension begins immediately."

There remain a few incidental elements to be addressed, but ESPN.com confirmed Wednesday night through sources close to the negotiations that the Indianapolis Colts have agreed in principle with defensive tackle Corey Simon on virtually all the major financial components of a contract, and that an agreement could be officially struck as early as Thursday morning. In fact, two Colts players told ESPN.com on Wednesday night that they were apprised by a member of the coaching staff earlier in the evening that the acquisition of Simon was imminent. At least two other franchises, the Cincinnati Bengals and Seattle Seahawks, until Wednesday night had remained in the hunt for Simon, who became a free agent on Sunday night when the Philadelphia Eagles rescinded the "franchise" designation placed on him six months ago.
