Wrist injury sends Colts RB Bradshaw to IR again

For the third straight year, Indianapolis Colts running back Ahmad Bradshaw's season has been cut short by injury.

 

On Monday, the team announced Bradshaw was being placed on season-end injured reserve after the veteran back hurt his wrist in Sunday's 25-12 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

 

In six games serving as Frank Gore's backup this season, Bradshaw caught three touchdown passes while running 31 times for 85 yards.

 

The 29-year old Bradshaw played just three games in 2013 before suffering a neck injury, while a broken leg last season limited him to 10 games.

 

Running back Zurlon Tipton, who was released last week, was re-signed to take Bradshaw's spot on the active roster. Tipton and the recently re-acquired Dan "Boom" Herron will provide depth at running back behind Gore.
