No catches for Hinkel in Colts' second preseason game (Sports)

August 21, 2006, 1:22 pm

After catching one pass for 16 yards in Indianapolis' preseason opener, Cathedral Prep graduate Ed Hinkel didn't have a reception against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night.

Hinkel, a rookie free agent from Iowa, is competing with 10 other receivers for a roster spot. He said last week that he hoped his versatility, including a willingness to play on special teams, would help him make the team.

Another rookie wideout, Northern Illinois' Dan Sheldon, might have made a move Sunday by catching four passes for 35 yards and returning a punt 36 yards. Sheldon also returned four kickoffs, averaging 18 yards.

Cathedral Prep graduate Bob Sanders, a Pro Bowl safety, did not play. Sanders returned to practice last week after missing the first two weeks of camp following offseason shoulder and biceps surgery.

-- Mercyhurst Prep graduate Eric Hicks did not register any stats in the Chiefs' 17-0 preseason loss to the New York Giants on Thursday.

-- Merychurst Prep graduate Jovon Johnson (Iowa) remains with the New York Jets as a rookie free agent cornerback.

-- John Dudley
