#colts apparently have signed RB Deji Karim to active roster. Tells me either Donald Brown (ankle) or Delone Carter (ankle) not ready.

That news on Donald Brown is not good at all

[ar1888]

Yikes! I think he did a decent job this season coming off the bench in spot duty. Lets hope Vick Ballard can hold up the rest of the season.

[CR91]

is brown done with the colts?

[Smonroe]

Brown on IR hurts. I wonder if Addai still wants to play?

we already signed moore and karim

[ar1888]

I think he still has one year left on his rookie deal.

[shakedownstreet]

probably

[krunk]

And he's replaced by Deji Karim and Mwelde Moore. Arggghhhh! Talk about signing two players who don't equal 1 of Donald Brown. I also see that we've signed Dave Megetts son Davin Megett to the practice squad and released Alvester Alexander for the 100th time. It appears Megett was originally signed as an UFA this season by the Texans. I wonder are we trying to squeeze information out of him about their offense and their calls.

I hate all this bad running back news!

[Coltswarriors]

Ugh... We need some RBs BAD. Everyone is injured LOL.

I thought Sunday at one point we'd have no RB, Ballard went out for a play or two.

[Greeley]

Losing Brown hurts. Moore used to be good in blitz pickup and was a good receiver. Karim was ok in preseason and had some moments vs Jacksonville. This is about as good as the Colts could do but Brown was a big play threat and played his best football at times this year.

[throwing BBZ]

Gotta sign guys who know the playbook. Oh boy!

Andrew may need to Super-Size his Flack jacket.

[Smonroe]

we already signed moore and karim

They have to be stop gap at best. I hope Carter is okay, he and Ballard are going to be the main guys on Sunday.

While the immediate news about Brown is not good at all he is still signed for 1 more year

Hughes is signed till 2015

just depth most likely. moore could be the 3rd down back though.

[The Peytonator]

[CR91]

hes like 30 something lol

[Smonroe]

He was totally unimpressive both as a blocker and runner on his first stint. The hope is that he should know the plays well enough to not get Luck killed.

I see they signed Davin Meggett to the PS. He may have the most potential out of the new guys. Darn, I had a lot of hope for Hughes.

i doubt he sees much playing time. i think ballard has impressed enough to not need a rotation at RB.

He is ageless.

[CR91]

He is ageless.

barry sanders is only 42

[OJl]

At least Moore knows the offense and was still available. We got lucky.

[unitaswestand]

I have to think that we are one of the most injuried, if not THE most injured team in the NFL. It seems every two weeks we are putting another key player on IR.

[Malakai432]

Bummer for DB, lots of potential but I think we might have seen the last of him in a Colts uniform.

[OJl]

is brown done with the colts?

My guess is yes. Brown was not a Grigson guy. Neither was Carter. Vick Ballard is. I'd be surprised to see either Brown or Carter back next year. Ballard has shown enough that he can be a lead back in the NFL. If Grigson can improve the line, Ballard might even be a top tier back.

[The Fish]

DB is better than I initially gave him credit for. I think he get's his last season with the Colts, although I wouldn't be upset or surprised if he's let go. I do have to say if this is so long, then I salute him for providing us with the one of the most memorable Peyton moments..ever!

All true but getting rid of Carter and Brown sounds extreme, Why remove two players who have at least year left on there deal when neither are the problem only to have 2 unecessary holes to fill. I think both will be back next year and guys like Moore and Karim will be cut again, Both were brought in for depth

that honor goes to the steelers and cowboys

[RomanianColtsFan]

What about remembering him for this one?

compared to other years this year isnt bbad atall

[BrentMc11]

I disagree on Mewelde Moore. He had one bad game with the Colts this year with a fumble and a drop. He was called for holding twice on plays that McGlynn and Justice whiffed on blocks.....that Luck would have been killed spot on.

He is a veteran and has always been considered a reliable 3rd down back and pass blocker. He can also handle kickoffs when needed. Ballard, Carter, Karim, and Moore are fine. Not sure where the anti-Moore stuff is coming from.....why we EVER signed Alexander to the PS to begin with was a waste of time.

Like Donald Brown or not, he will be missed. Here is to hoping Ballard and Carter can hold up, and hold onto the ball!! GO Colts and good luck to DB in his recovery :colts: ...as well as Hughes. :coltslogo:

I don't know, he missed a lot of time.

[USAFHoosier]

This hurts a bit. I have been wanting Carter to get more carries. Now here is his chance. Karim looked good at times in the preseason also

[Colts20593]

Should of signed Addai, he's still got some gas left in the tank

[BrentMc11]

Yes BP was at $3.25 today. :shifty:

[TKnight24]

Try not to go Crazy with the Video Posting you guys. It slows some Forum Members Computers Down. Always remember that

[PrincetonTiger]

wow

[The Peytonator]

No way does Brown get cut in the offseason. He is our fastest back, he can juke guys out of their shoes, and his blocking is top notch. Re-signing him the following offseason is a different story, but he will be on the roster next year.
