TERRE HAUTE, Ind. -- It was only Day 2 of training camp and already the Indianapolis Colts are dealing with injuries.\nThree defensive starters and two other projected contributors all watched Monday morning's practice from the sideline. The most prominent name on the new list -- defensive tackle Montae Reagor, who had an MRI on his sore knee Monday night.\nCoach Tony Dungy said the Colts were still waiting for a diagnosis but expected Reagor to rest for the next few days.\n"We're not sure if he did it yesterday or not, but it was sore last night," Dungy said Tuesday.\nThe Colts also were without their starting safeties -- Mike Doss and Pro Bowler Bob Sanders.\nSanders' absence was expected after having offseason surgery on his left shoulder. He was placed on the physically unable to perform list Monday, and Sanders said it could be a couple of weeks before he practices.\nDoss was a new addition, though. He left Monday afternoon's practice early, walking into the locker room with a large ice pack on his left calf and showed up Tuesday morning in a walking boot. Dungy called it a strain and said Doss would likely miss three or four days.\nAlso missing were cornerbacks Tim Jennings and Kelvin Hayden. Both were second round picks -- Hayden in 2005 and Jennings in 2006.\nJennings, who had ankle surgery in the spring, also was put on the PUP list Monday. Hayden was out because of a heat-related illness that forced him to miss the end of Monday afternoon's workout.\nQuarterback Jim Sorgi, Peyton Manning's backup, also sat out. Sorgi has had a sore throwing during the offseason.\n"We're just making sure he doesn't overwork it," Dungy said.\nDungy said he did not believe any of the injuries were serious\nSIMON SAYS \nCorey Simon grew weary of answering questions about his weight last season. This year, Simon is more eager to respond.\nSimon is listed at 300 pounds on this year's roster, seven pounds heavier than the Colts listed him last year.\nBut when Simon arrived Sunday, he looked trimmer and said Monday that he's lost about 20 to 25 pounds -- a move he hopes will make the former Pro Bowl defensive tackle more productive this season.\nHow much does he really weigh?\n"I'm not going to give out guys' height or weight," Dungy said. "I think that's something Corey can do. ... But I think it (the weight loss) will be a good thing for him."\nSEEING CLEARER \nWide receiver Reggie Wayne returned to practice Tuesday, one day after cornerback Jason David poked him in the eye.\nWayne threw his helmet after the play, and sat out briefly before returning.\nDungy said the team wanted to make sure there wasn't any lingering damage to the eye.\n"I saw the play and Jason David put his hand in the face mask and poked him," Dungy said. "We just hope his vision clears up."\nSTILL MISSING \nLinebacker Freddie Keiaho, the Colts' third-round pick, still has not signed his contract.\nTeam president Bill Polian said Sunday that the Colts and Keiaho's agent, Frank Bauer, were still trying to work out a deal that would get him into camp. Polian blamed the NFL's rookie salary cap system for the holdup.\nA message was left at Bauer's office Monday, and Dungy has not said when he expects Keiaho to be in Terre Haute.\nSCRIMMAGE RETURNS \nSaturday will mark the return of the Colts' intrasquad scrimmage game at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology.\nThe game, which pits the starters against the backups with a little mixing, had become an annual tradition under Dungy. But last season the game was canceled because of the Colts' preseason game in Japan.\nWhen it returns Saturday at 8:30 a.m., Dungy will be coaching the younger group with offensive coordinator Tom Moore and defensive coordinator Ron Meeks coaching the starters. Who's favored?\n"I've not seen the line on it, but we should be favored by one or two points," Dungy joked. "They say the home team gets three points."\nALONE AT CAMP \nDungy's son, Eric, has been almost as much a part of training camp as his father since he came to Indianapolis.\nBut this year, Eric is absent. Dungy said his son started high school football practice Monday and couldn't come to Terre Haute.\n"You know it hit me last night as I was driving in here," Dungy said Monday. "This is the first time in 11 years that I haven't had someone with me here."\nDungy's oldest son, 18-year-old James, hanged himself in December. The Dungys have four other children.
