The Colts begin their three-day minicamp today, and it will mark the triumphant return of shoulda-been Super Bowl MVP Dominic Rhodes. Actually, Rhodes was recently dumped by the Raiders after one disappointing season, but regardless, he should pick up where he left off in 2006: serving as a nice change-of-pace to the workhorse back, in this case Joseph Addai.

Indianapolis will also go about replacing guard Jake Scott, a potentially big loss since the offense is predicated on Peyton Manning feeling comfortable in the pocket.

But perhaps the biggest issue heading into 2008 is the status of potential Hall of Famer Marvin Harrison. He's been busy this offseason, although how busy is still up in the air at this point. Harrison was questioned by Philadelphia police about an April 29 shooting, although he denies any involvement and the police don't consider him a suspect at this point.

As far as head coach Tony Dungy knows, Harrison will be at practice today, even though it sounds like he hasn't talked to his Pro Bowl wideout. Even before the legal run-in, Harrison had struggled with injuries last season, and at 35, there's reason to think he's finally slowing down.

And while it sounds ludicrous to say, the Colts should be able to manage in his absence; they did it in 2007 with Reggie Wayne, Dallas Clark and rookie Anthony Gonzalez. Now only difference is that Gonzalez has more experience and is fully recovered from a hand injury.
