The usually boisterous locker room noise was replaced by emotional, thoughtful reflection as Colts players offered support to their grieving receiver, Reggie Wayne.

Wayne's older brother, Rashad, was killed in an automobile accident Sunday -- something Colts players didn't learn until well after Sunday's game ended. After hearing the news, Wayne flew back to his home state of Louisiana so he could help the family make funeral arrangements.

"I was at dinner and I was in a big state of shock, I almost started crying," said Aaron Moorehead, another Indy receiver and one of Wayne's closest friends. "I'm really almost in tears right now. He said he wanted us to pray for him and that's what we're going to do."

Sunday's 21-14 victory over Jacksonville gave Indy the early edge in its quest to win a fourth consecutive AFC South title. But almost before the Colts could savor their 11th straight win over a division foe came word about Wayne's brother.

Rashad Wayne, 32, was killed when the delivery truck he was driving crashed into a highway guardrail in Kenner, La. James Gallagher, a spokesman for the Kenner police

"I'm definitely here for him when he gets back here because I personally know what he's going through," Brackett said. "There's a lot of memories and good times you have with a loved one. Knowing they're gone, I think the best way you can honor the dead is by the way you live."
Dungy said the team was still awaiting details about Rashad Wayne's funeral, and that the Colts hoped to send team members to Louisiana for the service.

Reggie Wayne played well in Sunday's 21-14 victory over Jacksonville, catching four passes for 82 yards despite having a spectacular diving 51-yard catch ruled incomplete after Jacksonville coach Jack Del Rio challenged the call.

It wasn't until after the game that he -- and his teammates -- knew of the accident.

At Monday's light workout, it was clear his teammates were thinking about him.

"The guys in this locker room, we're like brothers," Stokley said. "We're all playing for Reggie and we're keeping him in our prayers."
When Wayne might return isn't clear
