Freeman (groin) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Texans, Kevin Bowen of Colts.com reports.

IDP owners who had been relying on Freeman, who recorded back-to-back 10-tackle efforts in Weeks 2 and 3, will thus need to find a replacement at the linebacker position for their lineups in Week 5.

Freeman left Sunday's game against the Jaguars with a groin injury, Kevin Bowen of Colts.com reports.

Freeman is coming off back-to-back 10-tackle games, so his status will be worth tracking by those in IDP formats, especially with the Colts on a short week in Week 5.

Freeman had ten total tackles, a sack and a tackle for a loss in Sunday's win over Tennessee.

Freeman had just 1.5 sacks last season and has had only one season of more than two sackes, so don't expect many more. However, Freeman remains a tackle machine again as he's averaging 8.6 tackles per game.

Freeman had six tackles in Sunday's loss at Buffalo.

A Week 1 hamstring injury nagged Freeman all season last year, limiting him to 12 games. He looks healthy after Week 1 this year and should return to his high tackle totals in an Indy defense that is vulnerable to the run.

Freeman has signed his one-year, $2.35 million restricted free agent tender with the Colts, the Indianapolis Star reports.

With Freeman under contract for the 2015 season, he's on track to reprise his starting inside linebacker role for the Colts. The 28-year-old helped out IDP owners last season, when he was healthy, by racking up 95 tackles and 1.5 sacks in 12 games played.

Freeman, a restricted free agent who remains unsigned, did not attend the Colts' offseason voluntary workouts that began Monday, the Indianapolis Star reports.

Freeman was given a tender offer by the Colts, but he hasn't signed the contract and appears to be skipping workouts in an effort to get a long-term contract. Freeman has until Friday to get an offer from another team, which the Colts could match. The Colts tendered Freeman a one-year, $2.35 million contract, which would require another team to give up a second-round draft pick to sigh him.

Freeman received a qualifying offer from the Colts on Thursday, the team's official website reports.

A restricted free agent, Freeman has seemingly done enough to warrant a second-round tender, and it's unlikely any team would be willing to part with such a high pick for his services. While somewhat limited by injuries in 2014, he's one of the more consistent starters for Indy's shaky defense. Freeman finished the 2014 regular season with 94 tackles in 12 games, serving in a three-down role when healthy.

Freeman (hamstring) is listed as active for Sunday's playoff game against the Bengals.

Freeman, who notched 94 tackles in 12 games this past season, returns to the Colts' inside linebacker mix after missing the team's regular season finale against the Titans.

Freeman (hamstring) practiced fully Wednesday, Kevin Bowen of the Colts' official site reports.

After sitting out the Colts' regular season finale, Freeman -- who notched 94 tackles in 12 games -- appears poised to rejoin the team's lineup for Sunday's wild card tilt against the Bengals.

Freeman (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against Tennessee, the ESPN reports.

Josh McNary will start at inside linebacker with Freeman out. It's thought Freeman will be ready for the playoffs.

Freeman is "day-to-day" with a hamstring injury, said head coach Chuck Pagano.

With the Colts set in their playoff position, it would seem likely Freeman will see reduced playing time or be inactive this week given this injury.

Freeman had nine total tackles and half a sack in Sunday's win over Jacksonville.

After dealing with hamstring and hip ailments during the season, he looks back to full speed.

Freeman suffered a hip pointer in Sunday's win over the Bengals and will have an MRI, the Indianapolis Star reports.

The injury isn't thought to be serious but the need for an MRI is a concern. Freeman had six tackles in Sunday's win and an average of 6.3 tackles per game since missing four games due to a hamstring injury.

Freeman (hamstring) is listed as active for Thursday's game against the Texans.

It remains to be seen how close to 100 percent Freeman is, given that he was the lone Colt to draw a questionable designation this week, but he'll give it a go Thursday after recording seven tackles in his return to action this past weekend.

Freeman (hamstring) was limited at practice Wednesday and is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Texans, the Colts' official site reports.

Freeman was able to return to action in Week 5 -- recording seven tackles in the process -- but those inclined to roll with him in IDP formats in Week 6 are advised to verify his status in advance of Thursday's 8:25 ET kickoff.

Freeman (hamstring) was a limited participant in practice Tuesday.

This is somewhat disconcerting, considering Freeman just returned Sunday after missing three games with a hamstring issue and was not on the injury report Monday. However, there's been nothing to suggest his setback is serious, and as long as he isn't downgraded to DNP Wednesday, he should be fine to play Thursday against Indianapolis. Freeman led the team in tackles against Baltimore with seven (five solo).

Freeman led the Colts with seven tackles (five solo) Sunday against the Ravens.

Freeman returned Sunday from a three-game absence and immediately helped the Colts' defensive front. The third-year inside linebacker has recorded seven tackles in both games he's played this season and totaled 271 stops over his first pair of NFL campaigns. Now healthy, Freeman is a great IDP option for fantasy owners moving forward.

Freeman, who recorded seven tackles and a forced fumble in Week 1, returns after a three-game absence and merits IDP consideration once he re-establishes his role in the Colts' defense. The linebacker racked up 126 tackles and 5.5 sacks in 16 starts contests last season.

Freeman (hamstring) was a full participant in Friday's practice and is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Ravens, the team's official site reports.

Freeman was a limited participant in practice both Wednesday and Thursday, so his full participation Friday indicates he is trending in the right direction for Sunday's game.

Freeman (hamstring) was limited at practice again on Thursday, the Colts' official site reports.

Freeman thus appears on track to garner an official questionable destination in advance of Sunday's game against the Ravens.
