ANDERSON, Ind. -- Ahmad Bradshaw is finally eligible to practice. He still may not play for a while. On Tuesday, coach Chuck Pagano said Indianapolis had activated the former Giants running back and linebacker Pat Angerer from the physically unable to perform list. The Colts wasted no time in putting Angerer on the field, sending him in halfway through the morning walkthrough. The timing of Bradshaws actual return isnt as clear. "He feels great, and if it was left up to him, he would go today," Pagano said. "But were going to protect him from himself. Hes going to be day-to-day." The Colts had about a dozen players sit out of Tuesdays practice in pads, including the latest addition -- Coby Fleener, who has a concussion. Bradshaw has not practiced since opening training camp on the PUP list, barring him from practice. After he participated in a walkthrough last week, the Colts and league officials began talking about whether Bradshaw, who is recovering from off-season surgery on his right foot, should be activated. "We had discussions with the league concerning Ahmads status and decided it was time to bring him off the list," Pagano said. Bradshaw is now eligible to play in Sunday nights preseason game against his former team, but that isnt going to happen. The former New York star told reporters he did not expect to play. Bradshaw was cut by the Giants on Feb. 6 and didnt sign with Indy until June 11. In six seasons in New York, Bradshaw had 921 carries for 4,232 yards, 32 TDs and three 1,000-yard seasons. He also won two Super Bowl rings and will be best remembered for scoring the go-ahead touchdown against New England in the 2012 Super Bowl, which was played in Indianapolis. Its the only time a Super Bowl was won with a rushing touchdown in the final minute. He left New York ranked sixth all-time in yards rushing, seventh all-time in carries and ninth all-time in TD runs. When fully healthy, Bradshaw is expected to compete with Vick Ballard and Donald Brown for the Colts starting job. "Were going to take it slow. I feel great right now, but its a process," Bradshaw said. "The most exciting part is that I see a lot of potential for this offence." Angerer also has been recovering from off-season surgery on his right foot. Indy took Angerer in the second round of the 2010 draft, and he wound up starting 11 games and making 50 tackles as a rookie. In 2011, Angerer led the Colts and finished fourth in the NFL in tackles (146). Last season, though, Angerer was slowed by a foot injury and finished with 57 tackles, started only three times and missed five games. The absence of Fleener leaves Indy thin at tight end. Dwayne Allen, who was expected to work with Fleener in double tight-end formations, is already out with an injured right foot. Allen was on crutches for practice. The only other tight ends on the roster are Dominique Jones, who caught one pass last season, and Justice Cunningham, the last overall pick in this years draft. Pagano said Fleener was going through the concussion protocol but it means he will probably be out at least a couple of days. Indy also signed cornerback Johnny Adams and linebacker Monte Simmons, and waived injured linebackers Justin Hickman (foot) and Quinton Spears (hamstring). If Hickman and Spears clear waivers, they will go on injured reserve. Chris Paul Jersey .

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Two players having career years look to continue to produce in near anonymity Saturday night when the Texas Rangers host Oakland in the second contest of the three-game series.Texas shortstop Elvis Andrus recovered from a disastrous playoff game against Toronto last year to have the best season of his career. Oakland third baseman Ryon Healy got a late start to his rookie season, but is one of the best rookies in the second half of the season.Both will have their work cut out for them Saturday as Andrus faces a rookie pitcher hes never seen before in right-hander Raul Alcantara (0-1) while Healy and the Athletics try to solve right-hander Yu Darvish (5-4).Andrus had two key errors in Game 5 of the American League Division Series against Toronto last year, but rebounded with his best season average-wise (.295) and is four RBI shy of his career high of 67. Hes also been one of the best clutch hitters in baseball as hes hitting .444 with runners in scoring position since June 24.Im trying to do the same thing I do every single day, same routine, same mentality, Andrus said. Dont try to do too much. This year its actually paying off the way I want it to. I dont think Ill be changing any time soon.That approach certainly wont change as the Rangers close in on their defense of the American League West title. Fridays 7-6 victory ovver Oakland knocked the Texas magic number down to seven.ddddddddddddAndrus, who had an RBI single Friday, doesnt expect the Rangers to change their approach if and when they clinch the division.Having a lot of fun every single day, I think thats a big key for us, Andrus said. Knowing were close to making it to the postseason but at the same time theres still a lot of baseball ahead. Trying to stay focused every single day and just continue to win series, thats our approach.Having to face Healy and the As five more times this season will make that difficult. Healy, who went 2-for-4 on Friday to extend his hitting streak to seven games, has hit 10 home runs since the All-Star break. Thats the third-most among AL rookies in that span. Hes also batting .382 over the last 30 games.The influx of energy Healy and fellow rookie Joey Wendle (.319 average) have added to the offense have been tangible.I think these guys rub off on them, Oakland manager Bob Melvin said. Were down and things arent going well and all of the sudden an injection of energy and it rubs off on you. I think they enjoy having these guys around. It looks like the energy level is better. It looks like the effort level seems to be better across the board. ' ' '
