TERRE HAUTE, Ind. -- Kicker Adam Vinatieri, the Indianapolis Colts` biggest offseason acquisition, missed Tuesday morning`s practice with a sprained ankle.
Coach Tony Dungy said Vinatieri hurt his ankle while running Monday, the same day the Colts cut Shane Andrus, the only other kicker on the roster.
``He did it in conditioning, and he`s day-to-day,`` Dungy said.
Indianapolis signed Vinatieri, considered the NFL`s best clutch kicker, to a five-year, $12 million contract in March to replace Mike Vanderjagt. Vinatieri had two Super Bowl-winning field goals with New England.
