Sounds now like #Colts RB Donald Brown will go Monday night: "If the game were today, I'd play," Brown said a few minutes ago.

Where does it say he'll practice fully?

 

Not that it much matters. He's going to play. The question becomes what's the workload....and nobody is gonna know that exactly until MNF.

Donald Brown expects to play Monday night

Brown

Colts RB Donald Brown (hamstring) expects to play Monday night against the Texans.

"If the game were today, I'd play," Brown assured Friday morning. He expects to push his nagging right hamstring by returning to practice Friday afternoon, and the Colts will practice again Saturday. With Joseph Addai (shoulder) expected to be held out, Brown stands a good chance of starting and splitting the workload with Mike Hart. Oct. 29 - 12:37 pm et

Looks like this maybe a complete mess but i like it anyway. Addai owner now needs both guys

[kmbryant09 1]

And most of the dam Colts fans want to b!tch and cry about the Patriots and how they handle injuries Looks to me the Colts may have figured out it might actually help if they only disclose the minimum info nothing more nothing less

I've never had a problem with the injury reports - if it's legal/mostly ethical, then it's fair game.

 

But I thought it was funny as f*#% what happened with Brady. What, like 4 straight years listed as probable with a shoulder injury? Then Week 1, 2008...his first time not showing up on the injury report, torn ACL.

 

Karma, it's a funny thing. (I think I have that story right).

Actually you maybe onto something......you say its Karma. Maybe the Colts have been doing the same thing for years but i never really noticed it but about the time i noticed that like to be vague about injuries half their studs go down

 

Clark-done

Collie-out for weeks

Wayne-hurt hammy

Brown-hasnt played in years

It doesn't. I said he was expected to practice in full.

No, you are missing my point. The Colts report everything accurately - but just very vague, and make no conclusions until they absolutely have to. Wayne was limited in practice with a hammy - that's fact. They never DECEIVE - they never said anything wrong/contradictory about Clark's injury or Collie's surgery.

 

With Brady & the Pats - they were simply reporting that Tom Brady was "probable" because he was limited in practice with a shoulder injury...for 5 years??

are you serious?? Who the hell cares if Brady had a sore shoulder and they listed him as probable And how do you or anyone else know they were lying?

Never said I had a problem with it...follow my logic:

1. Pats made it a tradition to put Brady on the injury report EVERY WEEK FOR 3-5 YEARS with a sore shoulder, listed him as probable...No problem, but still makes you say, "uhh why".

2. Week 1 of 2008, it's the first week they DON'T have him on the injury list for 3-5 years.

3. First quarter - he tears his ACL.

 

That's funny stuff.

Watch it your favorite son Manning is next anyway back to the subject of the thread

 

 

* Brown to practice, should play

 

Following up a previous report, the Indianapolis Star

reports that Colts RB Donald Brown will practice Friday and

test his hamstring. Assuming he suffers no setbacks, he will

play Monday vs. the Texans. Brown has missed the last three

game since he was hurt Sept. 26 against Denver.

 

We expect Brown to be listed as questionable for the game

against the Texans, but that could be a cautious approach.

With Joseph Addai unlikely to play and Mike Hart a healthy

but inexperienced choice, Brown could see around 12 to 15

touches against a Houston run defense that's allowed over

100 yards per game on average and six rushing touchdowns

this year. Brown's never had a big game against the Texans,

but he's never had an opportunity like this. Consider him a

No. 3 RB or flex option if it appears as if he'll play on

Monday -- practicing on Friday and Saturday is a good enough

sign.

if brown plays...do u think he is a better option than shonne green vs gb?

[Jarvis Basnight 119]

Donald Brown (hamstring) returned to a limited practice on Friday.

 

This is a positive sign after Brown was held out of Thursday's practice drills altogether. The 2009 first-round pick plans to play on Monday night, and we consider him a superior fantasy start in comparison to Mike Hart.

Huh. I was hoping to hear he was a full participant but all signs are leading toward him playing. And the Colts will have practice tomorrow as well.

[Jarvis Basnight 119]

I don't personally. Greene plays on a very good running team and the Packers defense is being held together with dental floss. I don't feel very good about this game as a Packer fan.

 

Brown could be good but Indy typically runs much less than the Jets and they're not as good at it either.

[ricanrockers 39]

If both Brown and Hart split carries, who gets goal line duties?

Does Indy have goal line carries??? Manning will throw

[itsbigmoni 1]

Alright the hell with Donald 'freakin piece of garbage' Brown

 

My new main man is Jonathan Stewart but i only have him in one league vs Brown in 4

 

Exact same situation for me. What makes it harder is dwill is doubtful. But the panthers suck. It'll come down to the wire for me.

[PATSSOX 22]

Brown looks good at practice

 

 

from CBS:

 

* Brown looks good in practice

 

Colts RB Donald Brown [hamstring] came through Friday's

practice in relatively good shape, according to coach Jim

Caldwell. Brown has missed the last three games. "He did

well. He came through [the practice] and he feels good

today," Caldwell said. "He feels really good." Brown is

questionable for the Monday night game against the Texans,

which are ranked 14th against the run and have allowed an

average of 20 Fantasy points to opposing RBs on the season.

 

Brown sounds like he could get on the field on Monday night

for the first time in three weeks. With Joseph Addai

unlikely to play and Mike Hart a healthy but inexperienced

choice, Brown could see around 12 to 15 touches against a

Houston run defense that's allowed over 100 yards per game

on average and six rushing touchdowns this year. Brown's

never had a big game against the Texans, but he's never had

an opportunity like this. Consider him a No. 3 RB or flex

option as it appears as if he'll play on Monday.

Addai doubtful while Brown practices fully

 

 

Addai

Joseph Addai (shoulder) missed Colts practice Saturday and is listed as doubtful for Monday's Week 8 game against Houston.

Addai will not be active for Monday Night Football in Week 8, and is week to week. Donald Brown fully practiced Saturday and is listed as questionable, though he's fully expected to play. Oct. 30 - 2:42 pm et

It might be funny if it were true. Brady was probable in Week 1 of 2008 (foot) with limited participation all week (foot, shoulder).

 

I won't waste time in explaining why Brady is always listed as probable, but you could listen to Belichick pressers this week for some insight into the injury reports.

 

BTW - Brown is probably a slightly better option, but I don't expect him to get more than 15 touches. That could be enough for 75 and a TD, though, so he could be a decent flex option or as a reach for those who have bye/injury problems.
