Bradshaw (rest) practiced fully Thursday, the Colts' official site reports.
Bradshaw could well be removed from the Colts' Week 5 injury report Friday, but in any case, he's on track to continue to rotate with fellow RB Trent Richardson this weekend. While Richardson is seeing more carries (61) than Bradshaw (34) thus far, Bradshaw has been a key factor in the Colts' passing game through four contests, catching 14 passes for 134 yards and four TDs.

Bradshaw (rest) sat out Wednesday's practice, the Colts' official site reports.
Though Bradshaw tweaked his ankle this past Sunday, it's evidently not an injury concern for him at this time, based on the Colts' current practice participation/injury report. Look for Bradshaw to either be listed as probable or be altogether removed from the Colts' injury report in advance of Sunday's game against the Ravens
Sun Sep 28 201421:17Ahmad Bradshaw: (Ankle) Seen with Walking Boot
Bradshaw left Sunday's game against the Titans with an ankle injury, and while he was able to return, he was wearing a walking boot after the game as a precaution, ESPN reports.
Bradshaw was solid yet again Sunday, rushing nine times for 32 yards and catching two passes on two targets for 20 receiving yards and a touchdown. Never known as a great pass-catcher, Bradshaw has now scored four receiving touchdowns in his last three games. With Trent Richardson continuing to get a bigger share of the carries, Bradshaw has maintained his fantasy value through a passing game led by Andrew Luck, who leads the league in passing yards and passing touchdowns this season.

Bradshaw had nine carries for 65 rushing yards and two catches on three targets for 18 receiving yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Jaguars.
Trent Richardson finished with five more carries than Bradshaw, though he turned them into eight fewer yards. The Colts seem comfortable playing both backs roughly equally, which is a tough situation from a fantasy perspective. Bradshaw has been particularly good in the passing game, as he now has three receiving touchdowns in the last two games. While Richardson will continue to limit Bradshaw's fantasy upside, the latter appears to be the higher-upside play heading into Week 4 against the Titans, who are much better against the pass than the run this season.

Bradshaw had five receptions for 26 yards and two touchdowns, adding 13 carries for 70 yards, in Monday's 30-27 loss to the Eagles.
The encouraging performance comes on the heels of Colts coach Chuck Pagano admitting that Bradshaw and Trent Richardson will split snaps based on game flow. Bradshaw proceeded to outplay his counterpart for a second straight week, though Richardson played above the incredibly low bar that he's set. Bradshaw still looks like the far better player, and while it's fair to consider him injury prone, he looks both healthy and explosive through two games. According to Pro Football Focus' Nathan Jahnke, Bradshaw took 46 snaps in Monday's game, compared to 31 for Richardson. Though the game situation was quite different from last week's, the snap split was almost exactly the same. Bradshaw is the more valuable fantasy commodity, even though Richardson had 21 carries Monday.

Bradshaw is thus on track to suit up for Monday night's game against the Eagles, with a Week 2 time-share between him and Trent Richardson likely to materialize in that contest.

Bradshaw's status for Monday night's game against the Eagles is thus in no real danger, with a Week 2 time-share between Bradshaw and Trent Richardson likely on tap in the contest.

Trent Richardson and Bradshaw will split running back duties based on game flow, according to head coach Chuck Pagano. "From game to game, it'll be different depending on the score and how we're using different personnel groups," he told the Indianapolis Star. Bradshaw was limited in practice Thursday due to general soreness.
Bradshaw got more playing time in Week 1 with 44 snaps on offense to Richardson's 29 snaps. The Colts fell behind early and Bradshaw has a larger role in the passing game, so the split of work could change if the Colts run the ball more. Still, the Colts said Richardson would be the primary back during the offseason with Bradshaw having a secondary role, but the workload split and Pagano's comments indicate Bradshaw will have a much larger role. However, Bradshaw's upside may be limited as the Colts will likely try to limit his workload given his injury history, including returning from offseason neck surgery. He was limited in practice Thursday, but he should be able to play Monday.

Bradshaw (rest) was limited at Thursday's practice, the Colts' official site reports.
We'll revisit Bradshaw's status Friday, but at this stage, there doesn't appear to be any sort of injury in play here that might affect his status for Monday's game against the Eagles.

Bradshaw (unspecified reason) was sporting a non-contact jersey Thursday, Stephen Holder of the Indianapolis Star reports.
We'll have to see how the Colts list him on their Thursday practice participation/injury report, but it looks like Bradshaw's status is now worth monitoring in advance of Monday's game against the Eagles.

Bradshaw had 15 yards on three carries and 70 yards on five receptions (six targets) in Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Colts.
With the Colts falling behind 24-0 in the first half, the game situation was favorable for Bradshaw, who has long been an excellent receiving back. Trent Richardson was also active in the passing game, finishing his night with three receptions for 31 yards on four targets, in addition to his six carries for 20 yards. Bradshaw looked like the better of the two players, even though Richardson ran hard. Bradshaw's quicker, far more decisive, and generally seems to have a better idea of what he should do on the field. The Colts seemingly want Richardson to prove that he should be the lead back, but we could see more and more of Bradshaw, if the veteran continues to outplay the youngster. Of course, Bradshaw's durability issues will likely be a factor in any discussion. For now, you can still expect Richardson to handle most of the snaps, with Bradshaw frequently coming in for passing downs, and sometimes spelling Richardson in other situations.

Making his 2014 preseason debut, Bradshaw (neck) had three carries for two yards and one reception for 11 yards in Saturday's exhibition contest against the Saints.
Trent Richardson handled most of the first-team work, but Bradshaw was also mixed in. Neither player had much success on the ground, which could be a theme this season for a team with major questions on the offensive line. While he can't be counted on to stay healthy, Bradshaw is the clear No. 2 running back behind a starter with plenty to prove.

Bradshaw (neck) is expected to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Saints, the Indianapolis Star reports.
Bradshaw has missed the Colts' opening two exhibition outings following last year's neck surgery. Given the running back's injury history, Bradshaw has mixed practice days with rest periods throughout the preseason thus far. However, with Saturday marking the typically most important third tune-up contest, Bradshaw is expected to suit up and play second-string to starter Trent Richardson.

Bradshaw (neck) did not play in Saturday's preseason game against the Giants, Newsday's Tom Rock reports.
Bradshaw seems to be on track to play before the end of the preseason, as he's expected to open the year as Trent Richardson's top backup. Given Richardson's track record and continued struggles this preseason, Bradshaw may have the chance to seize a major role in the offense.

Bradshaw could make his preseason debut this weekend and says he's back to full speed after last year's neck surgery. "There are not a lot of guys who have been through neck surgeries and a year later they're playing football again, especially in my position," he told ESPN. "Right now as we speak, I'm confident. I don't think about my neck at all."
Bradshaw wore a red non-contact jersey in practice this week, but said it was just a precautionary move. If Bradshaw is healthy, he'll begin the season as the backup Trent Richardson and has a shot to win a significant role in the offense.

Bradshaw is among the Colts who will not play in Thursday's preseason opener against the Jets, Kevin Bowen of Colts.com reports.
There's no reported injury in play here, but given Bradshaw's history on that front, the Colts appear to be playing it safe with the veteran back on Thursday.

Bradshaw (rest) will not practice Tuesday, the Indianapolis Star reports.
Bradshaw will simply be handed the day off as the Colts prepare for Thursday's preseason opener against the Jets. Following October neck surgery, Bradshaw was cleared to practice at the beginning of training camp, where he's competing with Trent Richardson for touches at running back. While Richardson figures to receive a slightly heavier workload, Bradshaw's short-yardage ability should come in handy around the goal-line.

Ahmad Bradshaw (neck surgery) has been cleared for practice.
It's worth noting that Bradshaw averaged 4.53 YPC and scored two rushing touchdowns last year before sustaining his season-ending neck injury in Week 3. Trent Richardson averaged 2.91 YPC and scored three rushing touchdowns in 14 games as a Colt. Bradshaw enters camp with a leg up on Vick Ballard for No. 2 duties.

Wed Jun 4 201414:43Ahmad Bradshaw (neck) gets medical clearance
Ahmad Bradshaw (neck surgery) was medically cleared on Friday and is participating in OTAs.
Bradshaw didn't take part in the non-contact practices last week but was back out on the field Monday for the first time since Week 3. He anticipates having to go through another battery of tests before training camp when contact is allowed, so he's yet to be 100 percent cleared. But it's a step in the right direction. Bradshaw and Vick Ballard will compete for No. 2 duties behind Trent Richardson.
