Wayne had previously said he wasn't sure whether he would be able to play in any of the Colts' preseason games, but doesn't "want (his) first tackle to be in a regular season game."

Wayne is currently listed as the starter on the Colts' depth chart, ahead of Hakeem Nick and Da'Rick Rogers.

From IndyStar.com on Sunday:

"There's a possibility," he said of Wayne playing against New Orleans. "We're managing that thing and keeping a close eye on him. From a physical standpoint, make sure there's not too much wear and tear on that knee early on and coming back and all those things.
