Hart

“We didn’t discuss it. Tony [Dungy] didn’t mention it. I think we’re pretty full at the position to be truthful with you,” Polian said. Positive news for those early drafting dynasty leaguers who have already selected Mike Hart.

Hart was a standout collegiate, but shouldn’t be more than a third-down back in the pros. He’ll likely be chosen in rounds four through six this April.

Hart got hurt on a screen play last October. He’s fallen down the depth chart after Donald Brown was drafted and will be on the roster bubble in camp.

The Colts will likely take it easy with Hart until training camp. His chances of making the Week 1 roster took a severe blow when the Colts drafted Donald Brown in the first round.

They still have two spots left. Hart has been banged up since the Colts made him a sixth-round pick in 2008. He is a better runner than No. 3 back Chad Simpson, though, and could get another shot with the big club later on.

The former Michigan standout suffered an ankle injury in camp that sealed the deal. He was already dealing with ACL surgery from last October.

Hart, the Colts sixth-round pick last year, is now healthy after missing last season with an ACL injury. He’ll take over No. 3 back duties.

Any fantasy potential Hart might have had took a massive hit when the Colts took Donald Brown in the first round. Hart is squarely on the roster bubble.

Hart was already coming back from ACL surgery when he injured the ankle in Thursday’s game. The latest injury could leave him on the outside looking in on cut-down day.

Brown is almost certainly going to miss this week’s game against the Niners, and it’s not looking good for next week either. Mike Hart will be active this week and is expected to handle backup duties over Chad Simpson. Joseph Addai could see a slight increase in carries as well.
