The Colts brought running back Ahmad Bradshaw in this offseason to add some competition and depth.

Now, he is the Colts running game.

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Colts running back Vick Ballard is out for the season after suffering a knee injury in practice Thursday.

Ballard was listed on the injury report yesterday as being limited, which apparently covers the part of practice before he suffered the season-ending injury.

He had 63 yards on 13 carries last week, and the Colts were hoping to split carries between him and Bradshaw throughout the year. Now, former first-rounder Donald Brown is back in the mix.
