Joseph Addai (knee) is listed as questionable for Week 9 after missing Friday's practice. Note that Addai is no longer listed on the injury report with the hamstring ailment that sidelined him for all of Week 8. The knee has been an issue in the past. Addai practiced fully on both Wednesday and Thursday, so just going off the injury report this either indicates a rest day or a setback. The Colts' injury reports have been difficult to read this season. We won't know Addai's status for sure until Sunday morning.

Joseph Addai (hamstring) returned to a full practice on Wednesday. Addai also practiced in "full" last Friday, but only served as the Colts' emergency back against the Titans with Delone Carter and Donald Brown splitting the backfield by halves. If Addai is healthy, he will likely resume his role as Indy's starting tailback, but share time with Carter and Brown.

Joseph Addai (hamstring) confirmed he was only going to play in Sunday's game against the Titans if Delone Carter or Donald Brown got injured. Addai did not play a single snap and spent most of the day on a stationary bike. The fact he was active does suggest he could be available to actually play in next week's game against the Falcons. The Colts' bye isn't until Week 11.

Joseph Addai (hamstring) was active for Sunday's game against the Titans, but did not play a single snap. It appears he was only active as an "emergency" back behind Delone Carter and Donald Brown, similar to Rashard Mendenhall earlier in the season. Addai will likely miss more practice time leading up to next week's game against the Falcons. He's a low-upside RB3 in a committee backfield going forward.

Joseph Addai is active for Week 8 against the Titans, but Delone Carter is listed as the Colts' starting tailback. Carter is the best fantasy bet in Indianapolis' backfield this week; Addai may be available for only blitz-pickup situations and a limited number of carries. Donald Brown will likely be third string. The Colts' inactives are WR Anthony Gonzalez, QB Peyton Manning, CB Jacob Lacey, OL Ryan Diem, OT Anthony Castonzo, OG Joe Reitz, and rookie DT Drake Nevis.

Joseph Addai (hamstring) returned to a full practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Week 8. This is the same routine Addai went through last week. It's surprising the Colts haven't given him at least one week off to get the hamstring right. After missing Wednesday and Thursday's practices leading up to Week 7, Addai returned fully on Friday only to aggravate the hamstring in the first quarter and miss the rest of the game. Consider him a game-time decision for Week 8. He won't be a fantasy option regardless of his availability.

Coach Jim Caldwell is still awaiting word from team doctors on Joseph Addai's (hamstring) availability for Week 8. "He is at this point really coming along," said Caldwell, "but doctors will give us the clear go-ahead here shortly at some point in time." Expect Addai to be held out again on Thursday. Beat writer Phillip Wilson believes Delone Carter has earned more carries regardless of Addai's status for Sunday's game.

Joseph Addai (hamstring) was held out of Colts practice Wednesday. A bad sign after Addai aggravated his hamstring injury in Sunday's blowout loss to the Saints. Unless he's able to turn in a full practice by Friday, the odds are high he'll be unavailable against the Titans' bottom-10 run defense this weekend, again leaving the Colts with a backfield of Donald Brown and Delone Carter. If you're an owner, you need to be making other plans for Week 8.

The Colts have not updated the status of Joseph Addai's hamstring. All we have to go on for now is speculation. Addai was forced out of Sunday night's blowout loss early due to an aggravation and the Colts re-signed Darren Evans to their practice squad Tuesday. With the team at 0-7, it wouldn't make much sense for Addai to play at less than 100 percent. The Colts' bye isn't until Week 11.

Joseph Addai left Sunday's game in the first quarter after aggravating his hamstring and is questionable to return. He told Michele Tafoya that he probably would have been fully ready by Tuesday, not tonight. With the score 28-0 in favor of the Saints, there's little to no chance that he returns.
