INDIANAPOLIS -- Colts owner Jim Irsay, who has been out of public view for months, said he is gearing up for the NFL draft even while recovering from what authorities described as a suspected overdose and other health issues.

Irsay said in a phone interview with ESPN that his current challenge is rehabilitating from major surgery on his lower back area that has severely limited his mobility and will keep him from being in the Colts' draft room later this week. But he said he'll still have a presence, adding that the team's affairs are running per usual despite his physical absence.
