Colts coach Tony Dungy appeared on "NFL Live" Tuesday to chat and promote his new children's book, "You Can Do It!"
Among the things he touched on was the status of two injured Indianapolis stars.
Dungy said Marvin Harrison, who's coming off knee surgery, "is doing really well" and reiterated the receiver is not a suspect in an April 29 Philadelphia shooting about which he was questioned.
"Right before we closed out our OTAs he was there and he was running," Dungy said. "For the first time in a long time I saw a smile on his face because he was running pain-free. So we feel good about where he's going to be physically opening up this year. Everything we've heard and communicated from the Philadelphia police department, he's not a suspect in what's going on there. So again, we feel pretty good about where he's going to be."
Dungy is hopeful that defensive end Dwight Freeney (foot) will be back on track soon, too.
"We've got, fortunately, one of the best foot doctors in the country, Dr. Dave Porter, who's working on this," he said. "He tells us Dwight should make a complete recovery. But it's always kind of scary with a guy like that whose speed is his big asset. He needs to come back full strength, but everything right now indicates that he's going to do that."
Harrison and Freeney probably won't be ready at the start of training camp, but the team has been told both should be good to go for the regular season opener against Chicago Sept. 7.
"We're going to ease them into things gradually as we go," Dungy said, "and probably get them going really strong those last two weeks of camp."
