The Indianapolis Star reports that Edgerrin James should be back for the MNF match-up with Tampa Bay this week,
Running back Edgerrin James, who missed Sunday's game at New Orleans with a sore back, was at practice Thursday and should take his normal place in the backfield against the Bucs."Edge is doing well," coach Tony Dungy said. "It looks like he's going to be able to play if he doesn't have any setbacks. He moved around and did fine. Now we'll see how it is (today) after having some activity."
The Colts utilized the varied talents of Ricky Williams, Dominic Rhodes and James Mungro with James out of the lineup. James is the complete package.
"He can do a lot of things," Dungy said. "We can flank him out of the backfield. We can run inside, run outside. He's a good pass protector."
In other news, Peyton Manning was named AFC Offensive Player of the Week and AFC Offensive Player of the Month for September. Boy, did he ever deserve it. His stats so far this season? 82-of-122 passing (67.2 percent) for 914 yards with nine touchdowns and three interceptions
