"Joseph Addai's status for Sunday's game at Green Bay won't be decided until today at the earliest, but the Indianapolis Colts starting running back didn't sound like someone expecting to play.

"It's too early to say,'' Addai said Thursday. "The biggest thing is just trying to get back to where it was."

Addai left last Sunday's win over Baltimore in the first quarter after injuring a hamstring. He wouldn't confirm a report on nfl.com that he suffered a partially torn hamstring that could keep him out for two to four weeks.

"I just know in the game I felt it a little bit, so I didn't want to go," he said. "I can't really say what it really was. I know right now it's not feeling too good.

"The biggest thing is . . . just trying to get it back strong."

Coach Tony Dungy seemed surprised when asked to comment on the report of a partially torn hamstring.

"I hope not," he said. "I've had pulled muscles that kept me out a week or two. I would think a torn muscle would be a problem.

"But I hadn't heard that, other than reading it in the paper."

For however long Addai is out, Dominic Rhodes will start and be backed up by Chad Simpson and Clifton Dawson."
