INDIANAPOLIS --- Frank Gore is the starter in the backfield for the Indianapolis Colts, but after roster cutdowns over the weekend, the depth behind him at running back include a couple names some may not have expected entering week one.
“We feel great about our running back group, great,” said General Manager Ryan Grigson Monday.
Behind Gore, the depth chart includes three other running backs - Vick Ballard as the back-up, with 6th round rookie Josh Robinson (Mississippi State) and undrafted rookie Tyler Varga (Yale).
Dan “Boom” Herron entered training camp as the primary back-up to Gore but suffered a shoulder injury on a kickoff return in the 4th preseason game.
