The Indianapolis Colts are in the market for a running back, and likely will do their shopping close to home. Dominic Rhodes was the only healthy running back on the active roster at Monday afternoon's brief practice. Starter Joseph Addai was dealing with a hamstring injury while rookie Mike Hart, according to coach Tony Dungy, was missing after suffering a "significant'' injury to his right knee in Sunday's win over the Baltimore Ravens. A leading candidate is Chad Simpson, who is on the practice squad. Whomever the Colts add to the roster for Sunday's game at Green Bay likely will have some familiarity with their offense. That might include Clifton Dawson, who saw action in 13 games a year ago but was waived Aug. 26, or Justin Forsett, who was waived last week.

Can anyone say Sean Alexander? Doubtful. They want a healthy RB.

Then why say it....? "It is what it is" as the most over-rated quote states these days.

If you don't mind his ridiculous contract, the Packers would probably listen to any offer for Gant....He has not started a full season yet, but he will be great. lol.

there is a HUGE storage of "good" running backs out there. Sean is out there, meeting with the Redskins today,

How about Cedric Benson! Tee hee hee!

Shaun Alexander is available. The 49ers season again is a waste, they should check the availability of Deshaun Foster.

does anyone know why the let forsett go. i thought that he was doing a decent job of returning kicks. i know the seahawks wish they still had forsett up there.

Alexander signs with the 'Skins today....

Why not get Tony Gonzalez (for a steal) and play him at running back. Then we'll see how eager he really is to get out of KC.

I'll trade you Lawrence maroney for a hot dog and a spot at the front of the rest room line.

Mike Hart is missing? Missing? ****???? Who does he think he is, Vince Young?
