NFL forces Colts to activate RB Ahmad Bradshaw
By: Mike Chappell, Indy Star
The news of the day on Tuesday revolved around Ahmad Bradshaw being activated from the Colts PUP list.
“We had discussions with the league about Ahmad’s status and agreed it was the best thing to bring him off PUP,” Chuck Pagano said at Tuesday’s press conference. “If it was left up to (Bradshaw) he’d go today but we’re going to protect him from himself. We’ll err on the side of caution.”
Bradshaw, 27, signed a one-year contract with the Colts in June after a six-year career with the New York Giants. He underwent surgery on his right foot in January and opened training camp on PUP while continuing his rehab work.
Bradshaw was expected to be activated either this week or next before the NFL intervened.
“I feel great,” he said. “I’m ready to get out there with the guys. We’ll take it slow and make it last all season.”

With the announcement of Ahmad Bradshaw coming off the Colts PUP list, you can’t blame the new Colts running back for being a bit excited.
“I feel great right now,” Bradshaw said. “I feel I’m ready to go. It’s just a process I have to go through to be ready for the pounding and practices every day.”
Colts fans in general should be thrilled as well.
It would appear the Colts have a pair of top backs and returning starter Vick Ballard is ready for whatever role.
“I’ve always been that lead back,” Ballard said. “It really doesn’t matter to me. We have one team goal, that’s winning the Super Bowl. Whatever we have to do to win the Super Bowl I’m down for it.”
