MIAMI, Feb. 2 (UPI) -- Indianapolis defensive end Dwight Freeney said Tuesday he is unsure whether his right ankle injury will allow him to play in Sunday's Super Bowl.

The Colts officially have Freeney listed as "questionable" for Super Bowl XLIV, in which Indianapolis goes against the New Orleans Saints, as he receives daily treatment for a "low, third-degree ankle injury."

Freeney will probably miss each of the Colts' practice sessions this week.

"I'm doing everything, trying to find the best thing to get (my ankle) feeling as good as possible," Freeney said during Tuesday's media day interviews in Miami. "There's pain there. I'm just dealing with it."

Freeney, a five-time Pro Bowl selection over his eight-year NFL career, injured his ankle in the fourth quarter of the AFC Championship Game. He had 13 1/2 sacks in 14 regular-season games this past season. He was selected to the NFL All-Decade Team, which was announced Sunday.
