Joseph Addai Fantasy News

Monday, December 12, 2011, 10:08am

Colts running back Joseph Addai opened the game with a stocking cap on his head. He had little use for his helmet.

Addai ran twice for 16 yards and caught one pass for no gain. He was very much a situational specialist.

"Going into the game, coach (Jim Caldwell) wanted me to rest and kind of take a little bit of (a break for) the hamstring and if we'd get in big third-down situations, that's when I'd go in," Addai said. "That was the game plan."

Addai has missed four of the past eight games with a hamstring injury.

Colts beat writer Phillip B. Wilson on RB Joseph Addai: "Because the Colts shipped RB Darren Evans back to practice squad means they at least think Addai could be an emergency third back. I don’t think they go into the game with just two healthy RBs. While Addai was a full go in practice all week, he has said the right hammy is still sore. The hunch is he dresses, but I tend to doubt a full workload, if much. Expected to play."

Joseph Addai still iffy for Week 12

Joseph Addai remains hopeful of playing Sunday against Carolina.

“My leg is feeling better,” he said after Thursday’s practice. “Before, it just felt like a big knot in [his right thigh]. Now it just feels a little sore. So we’re going to wait and see how I feel [today] and then decide what we’re going to do on Sunday.

“I want to play. I don’t care what our record is or anything like that. I just want to get back out there playing again. I love to play and I’d like to be out there. I’ll do whatever they [the Colts coaches] tell me to do.”

Colts coach Jim Caldwell said running back Joseph Addai's possible return after missing four of five games with a hamstring injury is "a possibility." But the coach had yet to speak to the Colts' third-leading rusher today. Players were to report for a team meeting by 2 p.m.

"Haven't seen him yet today but I'm sure they'll get their hands on him and we'll get an assessment a little later on," Caldwell said.

Colts RB Joseph Addai will stick around during the team's bye week to get treatment on his hamstring.

The decision by the Indianapolis Colts to promote running back Darren Evans from the practice squad means Joseph Addai (hamstring), who didn't practice all week, isn't likely to play Sunday.

Ordinarily the news that a player missed practice on Friday is not good, but Indianapolis Colts running back Joseph Addai went full go two days in a row before that. The hunch is they just wanted to give the hamstring a rest, and he's expected to play tomorrow against Atlanta.
