INDIANAPOLIS -- The odds of Indianapolis Colts linebacker Jerrell Freeman returning to the lineup Sunday against the Tennessee Titans are not good.

Freeman's injured hamstring continues to keep him off the practice field. He worked out at the team's indoor facility while the rest of his teammates practiced outdoors Thursday. Freeman has missed the past two games. Josh McNary will continue to start with Freeman out.

The other noticeable player absent from practice was guard Hugh Thornton, because of an ankle. Thornton injured his ankle against the Jacksonville Jaguars last weekend. Joe Reitz could start if Thornton doesn't play.

Here's the rest of Thursday's practice report

Did not practice: Safety Colt Anderson (groin), linebacker Mario Harvey (hamstring), defensive lineman Art Jones (ankle), linebacker Andy Studebaker (hamstring), linebacker Erik Walden (knee).
