The Indianapolis Colts upgraded their running back position when Frank Gore signed during the offseason, but head coach Chuck Pagano isn’t rushing the veteran into action.
According to Kevin Bowen of the team’s official site, Pagano said the Colts must be smart with Gore’s touches on Sunday.
Pagano on watching Frank Gore’s pitch count: “Very close. We’ve got to be smart with the amount of carries."

Gore, who logged just four carries during the preseason, will be eased into action. Josh Robinson and Tyler Varga are the favorites to split the remainder of time, since Vick Ballard has been sidelined due to a hamstring injury.
