INDIANAPOLIS -- Colts rookie offensive linemen Mike Pollak and Jamey Richard missed practice Friday and are listed as questionable for Saturday night's game at San Diego.

Pollak, a starting guard, and Richard, a backup centre, have not practised all week because of ankle injuries they sustained in last week's 23-0 victory over Tennessee.

Coach Tony Dungy has said that if Pollak cannot play, Dan Federkeil would start in his place. Federkeil started the first three games this season at right guard when Pollak was out with a knee injury.

"(Dan) will do fine," Dungy said Thursday. "He's practised well, and he'll be fine."

Players and coaches were unavailable Friday because the team flew to San Diego after practice.

Linebacker Gary Brackett, the defensive captain, is the only player Dungy has ruled out. Brackett hasn't played since Nov. 30 after cracking a bone in his lower right leg.

Dungy said he would likely move outside linebacker Freddy Keiaho to Brackett's spot in the middle and put Tyjuan Hagler, last year's starter on the outside, in the starting lineup.

"The way we've practised, they look pretty comfortable," Dungy said. "Buster Davis will be the first substitute if we have any injuries, but that's probably the way we would start the game."

Defensive tackle Eric Foster (finger), cornerback Keiwan Ratliff (groin) and receiver Pierre Garcon (knee) all practised the last two days after sitting out Wednesday. All three are listed as questionable.

Safety Bob Sanders and cornerback Tim Jennings also practised Thursday and Friday after resting Wednesday. Sanders, Jennings and backup running back Chad Simpson were not listed with injuries on the team's practice report.
