INDIANAPOLIS - The Indianapolis Colts have claimed defensive end Simeon Rice off waivers, expecting him to fill in for injured Pro Bowler Dwight Freeney.

The announcement was made by team president Bill Polian on his weekly radio show Monday night and later posted on the team’s Web site.

Rice, released by Denver on Friday, played one season for Colts coach Tony Dungy in Tampa Bay. He has 121 career sacks, second among active players to Michael Strahan of the New York Giants.

The Colts (7-2) are uncertain how much time Freeney will miss. Dungy said earlier Monday he had not yet met with the doctors and he did not anticipate it to be season-ending.

But Polian said Freeney could miss four or more games because of a left foot injury that caused him to be carted into the locker room during Sunday night’s 23-21 loss at San Diego. The Colts have not yet released details of the injury.

“We anticipate that Dwight will miss some significant amount of time,” Polian said.
