Good. Just like all my players, Id rather they sit then make it worse.
Eyes on the playoffs. Keep him around for money time.

It seems to be in the NFL if you are remotely dinged up and your bye week is the week after your game than you sit out. Due to this I'd say if Addai is not 100% he'll sit out since his buy is next week. Due to this I'd not count on Hines, Calvin Johnson, or Javon Walker suiting up this weekend either.

Dungy said on Sirius NFL radio today that Addai was ready to come back in and he told him that if Denver scored he'd put him back in and that never happened. He indicated he'd be ready to go next week. Just FYI, I guess we'll know for sure based on practice/reports this week.

Guess your 4-0 then. Since you thinking of making the playoffs with Addai on bench a week or 2. Having your 1st round pick hurt is not good news unless you had a great draft and have his backup too.

FWIW, they have the exact same quote about Dungy awaiting medical reports and all the guys who were hurt have a chance to be out, etc. up there for Marvin Harrison too and its exactly the same word for word but with Harrison's name in place of Addai so I don't know that Dungy specifically said that Addai might not play.I think CBSSportsline just took that quote that some of the guys might not be available and applied it to ALL of the Colts that got hurt yesterday and I'm not certain it applies as much to Addai as it does to Harrison since I thought I read Dungy had said if necessary Addai could have come back in the game.

Dont think theres anything to see here. From AOL via the Rocky Mountain News:
Joseph Addai exited Sunday's game with a bruised shoulder and did not return. The Colts had the game under control at the time, and coach Tony Dungy said Addai would have come back in had the Broncos scored again, according to the Rocky Mountain News.

Same here if Addai is out (which doesn't appear to be the case). Hopefully, it won't be one of those "touch and go" situations as to whether Addai plays - either he's clearly out or in.

Really? With the amount of guys sitting at the last minute, nothing would surprise me. The indicator will be if he practices. No full practice on Friday and I would get ready to insert Keith into my lineup.

All, local sports talk radio is saying Addai is fine and will play this week. The same can't be said for Harrison.
I was at the game last week and Addai was ready to go back in to the game if needed. You can tell the difference between someone who's 'return is questionable' and someone who will be going back in.
Take it for what it's worth, but mu money is easily on he will be playing.

I believe he meant Kenton Keith, not you.

Barry Sanders defies all logic. He's in a league of his own.

What a profound statement! You almost had me until I went and did some research...Addai- 5'11" 214lbs. 2 yearsRudi Johnson- 5'10" 214lbs. 7 yearsLadanian Thomlinson- 5'10" 221 7 seasonsEmmitt Smith- 5'9" 207lbs. 10 seasons.My takeaway is that you might want to actually have a basis for a strong statement like that.Thanks.Da Guru said:

I agree, my "research" took all of 5 minutes to compile. Hell, I'm wondering what "build" is the one that lasts in the NFL if it is not something like what is listed above?

"Upright running style" Plus has never carried the load..now he is injured. Case closed.

I'm sorry, I thought this was the Addai thread...I must have wandered into the Brandon Jacobs thread...
Settle down. Guy has yet to miss a game with injury as a pro. Bruised his shoulder and was pulled because the game was over. He'll be probable this week and will get another 20 carries against Tampa. Case closed.

I have Addai in two leagues..I don`t feel real secure right now.

Marvin Harrison (knee), Joseph Addai (shoulder), and Bob Sanders (ribs) all missed Colts practice on Wednesday.
"We hope to have them ready by the end of the week," coach Tony Dungy said. "But my thought to the team, what I told them is we have to assume none of them are going to play." Kenton Keith would start if Addai misses Sunday's game versus Tampa, and Dallas Clark could see more targets if Harrison sits out. Matt Giordano is Sanders' top backup at free safety.

I think Keith will get over 100 carries this week if Addai and Harrison don't play... okay slight exaggeration, but still
I don't know what you base this on but I'm not seeing a tough player in Addai. Productive but not tough. He's been the starting RB in 4 games and in 3 of those games he has taken a shot that caused him to roll around on the ground in pain and be removed from the game. Two of those times he had the wind knocked out of him and the last time was his shoulder. How often do you see LT rolling around in pain after a tackle or leaving the game for a brief period because he got the wind knocked out of him? I don't see this happening with players like LT, LJ, Alexander, FWP, Rudi, or Tiki when he was around. Once is nothing, twice I'm starting to worry but 3 different times in 4 games? As much as I need him my belief is Addai will NOT play this week. I know Dungy said he could have come back in the game but if that's the case why is he not practicing 3 days later? I said it earlier in this thread but I'll say it again. When a player is dinged up and his bye week is next week they usually won't play. With the Colts bye coming next week I expect Addai to sit along with Marvin, Hines Ward, and Javon Walker and maybe Calvin Johnson as well.

You are kidding, right????You said his build doesn't last. I showed you several other RBs with the same build who have lasted. Hell, you could make an argument that some of my examples could be considered among the best ever!And now you change it to his running style? Then say case closed? I owned you with my response.Please explain to me in you expret medical opinion how Addai's running style leads to a bruised shoulder? Are "upright runners" more apt to get bruised shoulders?And, how many games has Addai missed to injury?Case re-opened!

1) What does "build" have to do with "running style"? Are people making stuff up as they go here when they get caught with their hand in the cookie jar?
2) If you are an Addai owner and have not yet picked up Keith, what in gods name are you doing in the Shark Pool?
3) Addai is not an upright runner
4) You don't tend to get shoulder bruises as an upright runner. You get them when you lead with your shoulder.

Look, even if Addai sits out this week, this doesn't make him injury prone.
If he lays on the ground for a minute after a tough hit, that doesn't make him soft. The dude has gotten back up EVERY time!
I just want people to call it what it is, not what they think it might be because someone else thinks so.
His "build" is typical for a RB. His running style is as well.
Hate on if you choose. Maybe he misses and you can come back in and proclaim you are spot on with your assessment!

I don't see how you don't view it as a concern when 3 out of 4 games he's played he's had to leave the game after taking a hard shot. He's not got enough history to examine but 3 out of 4 games is horrible. Again I ask who often do you see players like LT, LJ, Alexander, FWP and several others do this? Next to never is the answer so I do think it's worth noting when you see him keep going down. And to say he got up each time is great but when he got up last week he could not go back into the game and please don't trot out the quote about he could have went back in if he had to because he's not practicing 3 days later and is unsure if he'll be able to play-which as I've already said I think he won't play.

What advantage is there for the Colts to proclaim Addai either out of fit to return to action right now?Sure he is dinged up. Sure it is alarming to see the starting RB for my favorite team laying on the turf.And Addai was ready to come back in, that point is not really debateable.Alexander has missed games to injury. He is injured right now!Would you feel better if I said the sky is falling?The question at hand is is Addai's build or running style going to send him out of the league? I think not, others disagree and that is okay.

Actually, LT leaves almost every game for a few plays. Bad bad example. LT over the first few seasons played regularly with injury concerns. Bad example again. Same with FWP.Either you don't really pay attention to these players, or you are looking for things in Addai that you aren't bothering to look at in other players.

so basically he is like 75% of the starting backs in the NFL at this point in the season....
Your entire post is not to the point. LT leaves every game for a breather, not because he took a shot that forced him out. Thats a huge difference and if you can't see that I can't help you. LT plays and does not miss games and Addai is likely to miss his 5th game as a starting RB. How is that a bad example? How many games has FWP missed or had to had to leave? Again, the only thing bad about this is you saying it's a bad example.I watch every game in the NFL every single week and have done so for the past few years so don't tell me I don't pay attention to other players. I'm not looking for negatives in Addai but it's apparent from this post and some others you have left about Addai that you won't accept any criticism of Addai.I drafted Addai in my biggest league which is the WCOFF main event were I took him third. This means that after I spent $1800 for a team, a few thousand in travel costs, and months of research I liked Addai enough to select him third. Since that time he has produced. I have ZERO reason to be down on Addai or his performance but from what I've seen of him so far I'm extremely concerned he is injury prone. I'd love to be wrong but I think he misses this week and it won't be the last game he misses this season.
