The Indianapolis Colts continue to hold out hope that running back Ahmad Bradshaw's neck injury will heal itself with time. However, Mike Chappell of USA Today Sports spoke to a source with knowledge of Bradshaw's condition who said the Colts have "a level of concern" that season-ending surgery could be required.
USA Today Sports hasn't been able to confirm the report, as Colts general manager Ryan Grigson and Bradshaw's agent Drew Rosenhaus were not available for comment.
Colts head coach Chuck Pagano said yesterday that the team is still waiting on definitive word on Bradshaw's condition from the team's doctors and training staff. It's currently unknown how long Bradshaw will be sidelined.
Bradshaw suffered the injury during the team's Sept. 22 contest against the San Francisco 49ers. It's unclear when the injury specifically occurred, as Bradshaw exited the contest for some time before returning to the game. He was seen on the sidelines working his left shoulder, but he was able to accumulate 95 yards on 19 carries that game.
The Colts signed Bradshaw to a one-year deal this offseason after he spent the last several years as a member of the New York Giants. He's had injury issues in the past, but most of those were related to his legs and feet.
Earlier this season, the Colts acquired Trent Richardson from the Cleveland Browns. He figures to be the team's primary back in place of Bradshaw, but Donald Brown could also see carries moving forward. Indianapolis had already lost running back Vick Ballard to a season-ending knee injury earlier this year.

I was very impressed with Bradshaws running against the Niners. He ran so good, I think he consumed most of Trent Richardson's carries. Hope it turns out well for him.
