The Saints and Colts finished their physical preparations for Super Bowl XLIV Saturday with walk-through practices at Sun Life Stadium and both teams showed spirits as bright and relaxed as the sunny, breezy and mild Florida weather.
Saints cornerback Randall Gay, who was absent from Friday's practice with an illness, was on the sideline during the 45-minute walk-through. Saints Coach Sean Payton said that Gay had had a cold, with congestion, but said he would be ready to go tonight. Reserve running back Lynell Hamilton, who missed practice the entire week, also watched from the sideline. When asked Hamilton's status, Payton said "we'll see how he does on Sunday."
The Colts, meanwhile, still were without the services of All-Pro defensive end Dwight Freeney at their 35-minute walkthrough; cornerback Jerraud Powers once again did light work, and wideout Reggie Wayne returned to his duties with the first-team offense, showing no effects of a minor fat pad injury to his right knee Friday."
