There might not have been a more impressive player for the Colts in their 30-16 loss in the preseason opener to the Redskins than rookie RB Mike Hart, who rumbled for 53 yards on four carries. But team sources caution us to read too much into his production, saying that the hierarchy at running back has not changed. Hart, the University of Michigan’s all-time leading rusher, remains in a dogfight with Kenton Keith for the No. 3 job, and is only slightly ahead of Clifton Dawson and Chad Simpson, who we hear the club is high on, for the job. Joseph Addai and Dominic Rhodes, back for his second stint in Indy, are firmly entrenched at the top two spots on the depth chart. Word we’re hearing is that the team is likely to carry three backs on the active roster and keep one on the practice squad. At this point, the Colts are taking a wait-and-see approach as to who will get the third RB job.
