The injury to Ahmad Bradshaw that landed him on IR will result in fellow Colts running back Dan Herron receiving increase playing time.
"It's time for Herron to step up, which everybody on the team has full confidence in," teammate Reggie Wayne told the team website. "He's really played well. It shows on special teams. This is an opportunity for him to go out there and show his worth."
Herron has just 22 attempts on this season and is averaging 3.4 YPC.
