The Colts have re-signed RB-Brian Allen as they face a slew of injuries in the backfield
Ricky Williams suffered a sprained left ankle in Sunday's loss to Carolina that might keep him out of action when the team returns from its bye week and hosts Houston in the RCA Dome Oct. 26. Also, Dominic Rhodes still is dealing with soreness in his right knee and James Mungro might need arthroscopic surgery on his right knee.The good news: Edgerrin James, who has missed the past three games with damage to his transverse process (lower back), is expected to return against the Texans.
"Edge, we think, is going to be 100 percent," coach Tony Dungy said Wednesday.
Mungro might require a scope to feel as chipper. He has been experiencing irritation in his right knee since damaging it at Tampa. Team doctors, Dungy noted, are trying to determine "whether to go in and scope it now during the off week or fight our way through it."
With so many concerns, the Colts opted to re-sign Allen.
"It's been a journey," he said after Wednesday's practice, "but I'm just thankful to God to be back. I know I can play in the NFL."
