The Indianapolis Colts will be without a number of key players for their regular season finale in the frigid cold of Buffalo on Sunday.

Linebacker Clint Session will miss his second straight start, while stud defensive end Dwight Freeney will join him on the bench.

Also inactive for the Colts are kicker Adam Vinatieri, defensive tackle Antonio Johnson, running back Chad Simpson, tackle Ryan Diem, cornerback Jerraud Powers and fullback Gijon Robinson.

Peyton Manning will start at quarterback, but it is unclear how long he will stay in the game.

Matt Stover returns as the Colts kicker after Vinatieri’s injured knee flared up, causing him to skip the trip to Buffalo.

For the Bills quarterback Trent Edwards, wide receiver Steve Johnson, tackle Andre Ramsey, linebacker Bryan Scott, linebacker Ashlee Palmer, tackle Jonathan Scott and wide receiver Josh Reed will all miss the season finale.
