Freeman gets the start for the Colts
Josh Freeman is starting for Indianapolis against Tennessee with the Colts clinging to slim playoff hopes.
Freeman gets the start at quarterback over Ryan Lindley because Andrew Luck and Matt Hasselbeck are inactive and Charlie Whitehurst is on injured reserve. It's Freeman's first start Oct. 21, 2013, with Minnesota. He started 59 games for Tampa Bay and one for the Vikings.
The Colts must beat the Titans and need eight other teams to win to secure the AFC South title.
Here are the inactives:
TENNESSEE AT INDIANAPOLIS
TITANS: QB Marcus Mariota, WR Kendall Wright, WR Damaris Johnson, CB Blidi Wreh-Wilson, S Josh Aubrey, OT Taylor Lewan and DE Ropati Pitoitua
COLTS: QB Stephen Morris, QB Matt Hasselbeck, QB Andrew Luck, S Winston Guy, LB Sio Moore, LB Trent Cole, DT Kelcy Quarles.
