Harrison on track to play

Indianapolis Colts Coach Tony Dungy said he expected wide receiver Marvin Harrison to play Sunday against the New England Patriots.

Harrison, the franchise’s career receiving leader, has sat out two of the last three games because of a bruised left knee. He didn’t practice Wednesday but was expected to practice today, according to Dungy.

“I think he’ll play [Sunday], but we’ll have to see how it goes.” Dungy said.
