Indianapolis Colts running back Donald Brown didn't seem too concerned about the shoulder injury he suffered in week seven, but in a conversation on NFL Network Tuesday, Colts president Bill Polian indicated that Brown could miss 2-3 weeks with a shoulder contusion. Brown said after the game against the St. Louis Rams that he would be fine and that he knew how to deal with the injury because he had a similar ailment in college.

From Fort Wayne Gazette

With Donald Brown banged up (listed as doubtful with shoulder injury), Joseph Addai will get the bulk of the carries for the Colts – against star linebacker Patrick Willis and the sixth-ranked 49ers run defense.

Who will take over for Brown? Simpson or Hart?

It sounded like Addai would take up most of the carries.

I actually have to go with one of these 2 guys...going with Simpson.

Mike Hart will back up Addai, according to NFL.com.

It's a tough call, but I recall Polian being the one who said Hart would be activated and playing a role.

Yeah, and they just said on ESPN 2 on whatever the show is called, that Mike Hart is the guy to play instead of Brown.My starting RBs today;Michael BushMike Hart

Here's a quote from Caldwell yesterday:

If Brown doesn't play, second-year running back Chad Simpson will split time with starter Joseph Addai. Mike Hart, another second-year running back, could also play.

"What we do with them is let Joe take as many of (rushing attempts) as he wants, and when he wants to come out of there, we relieve him at that time," coach Jim Caldwell said. "(Hart) is a possibility. He's been working in practice, and he's certainly ready to go."
