Colts RB Addai out for Packers game
Sports Network | October 18, 2008
Indianapolis, IN (Sports Network) - Indianapolis Colts running back Joseph Addai will miss Sunday's game against the Packers in Green Bay because of a hamstring injury.
The club announced Saturday that Addai, who was hurt in the first quarter of last Sunday's 31-3 rout of Baltimore, will sit out along with tight end Gijon Robinson, who has an ankle injury.
Dominic Rhodes, who in the Ravens game ran for 73 yards and a touchdown on 25 carries, is expected to start in Addai's place.
Earlier this week the NFL Network reported that Addai will miss two-to-four weeks, though Colts head coach Tony Dungy did not go into detail in his Wednesday press conference about the long-term picture for the running back's injury.
In five games this season, Addai has run for 216 yards and four touchdowns. Rhodes, who split time in the backfield with Addai in 2006, has 104 yards and a score on 32 carries this year.
