Reggie Wayne has been in New Orleans with his family since Sunday evening when he learned his brother, Rashad, had been killed in a traffic accident in Kenner, La.

The brother of Colts receiver Reggie Wayne was killed Sunday when the delivery truck he was driving crashed into a highway guardrail.

With kicker Adam Vinatieri nursing a groin injury that kept him out of practice all week, and his availability still uncertain, the Indianapolis Colts on Friday night signed veteran free agent Martin Gramatica, league sources here told ESPN.

The Indianapolis Colts likely will sign kicker Martin Gramatica for Sunday's game against Jacksonville as a possible replacement for Adam Vinatieri, who is nursing a groin injury and has not practiced all week.

The Colts auditioned several quarterbacks earlier this week, including Drew Henson.

The team might re-sign veteran Martin Gramatica if Adam Vinatieri is unable to kick against Jacksonville, or is limited by the groin injury.

Morten Andersen may be 46 years old, but he is still interested in kicking in the NFL.

Peyton Manning threw three touchdown passes, broke John Unitas' franchise record for completions and led the Colts to scores on six of their first seven possessions in a 43-24 rout over Houston that wasn't that close.

It has been easy for every armchair GM to be laughingly critical about the Texans' selection of Mario Williams, but Tony Dungy disagrees with the sentiment.

The opening weekend of the NFL season will have a brotherly feel.

Adam Vinatieri slipped a brace onto his non-kicking foot Monday and then calmly pronounced himself ready to play.
