Indianapolis Colts running back Ahmad Bradshaw likely has a broken ankle, or at least that's what "initial indications" suggest, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Bradshaw will have to undergo testing on Monday to determine the severity and whether or not surgery will be required.
Ahmad Bradshaw could have broken ankle, per report; fantasy status unclear
Colts running back Ahmad Bradshaw could have a broken ankle, according to a report, which would mean plenty of missed time. We break down the fantasy implications.

Even if surgery isn't required, Bradshaw clearly has a long way to go if any kind of fracture is involved. He was on crutches and his foot was in a boot following Sunday's loss to the New England Patriots. It's far too early to speculate on precise time frames, but Bradshaw will certainly miss some time.
Fantasy Impact: Bradshaw has been very good for the Colts this year, as the primary running back in a rushing offense that ranks around the middle of the pack with 104.3 rushing yards per game. Bradshaw leads the way with 90 carries for 425 yards and two touchdowns, more yards than Trent Richardson despite fewer carries. Richardson will have to take on an increased role going forward, though he doesn't offer a ton of fantasy value.
