FOXBORO, Mass. -- Defensive end Richard Seymour was listed
Wednesday by the New England Patriots as questionable for Sunday's
playoff game against the Indianapolis Colts. Seymour, a three-time Pro Bowl defensive lineman, missed at
least part of practice with a knee injury that kept him out of the
final regular-season game. He is a key player in the Patriots'
attempt to stop Peyton Manning, especially with their top two
cornerbacks, Ty Law and Tyrone Poole, on injured reserve. The questionable designation means there's a 50-50 chance
Seymour will play Sunday. The report will be updated Thursday. He missed the Patriots' last game, against San Francisco, after
being hurt the previous week in the third quarter of a 23-7 win
over the New York Jets. "It'll be a little different not having the big guy over
there" if Seymour can't play, Ty Warren, the other starting
defensive end, said Wednesday. "We have to have some guys fill in
the void for him and just play like we would if he was in there." Seymour is tied for third on the team with five sacks and tied
for fifth with 67 tackles. The only other New England players on the injury report --
running back Kevin Faulk and linebackers Matt Chatham and Eric
Alexander -- were listed as questionable after missing at least part
of Wednesday's practice.
