Indianapolis, IN (SportsNetwork.com) – The injury that knocked Indianapolis Colts running back Ahmad Bradshaw out of Sunday’s loss to New England has been determined to be a fractured fibula that is likely to sideline the team’s leading rusher for the remainder of the season.<\/p>\n
Colts head coach Chuck Pagano revealed the diagnosis during his Monday press conference, then stated that Bradshaw will visit a few more specialists before the team decides whether or not to place him on injured reserve.<\/p>\n
Bradshaw sustained the injury when being stopped just short of the goal line on a short run early in the fourth quarter of Indianapolis’ 42-20 home loss to the Patriots. The veteran back was later spotted on crutches with his left leg in a protective boot following the game, according to the Indianapolis Star.<\/p>\n
The two-time 1,000-yard rusher was limited to just three games last season — Bradshaw’s first with Indianapolis after a six-year tenure with the New York Giants — by a neck problem which required surgery. He was having a strong campaign for the AFC South-leading Colts this year, however, compiling a team- best 425 rushing yards with two touchdowns on 90 carries and adding 38 catches totaling 300 yards and six more scores.<\/p>\n
Of Bradshaw’s eight NFL seasons, he has been able to play in 16 games only once.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
