Colts latest news and notes

Colts | Josh Chapman fully healthy

Indianapolis Colts DT Josh Chapman (knee) said his knee is completely healthy and will be able to participate in organized team activities next week.

Colts | RBs to be involved more in passing game

The Indianapolis Colts are expected to use their running backs more out of the backfield as receivers under new offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton than they did in 2012 with Bruce Arians calling plays. RB Vick Ballard led all Colts rushers with just 17 catches a year ago.

Colts | Vick Ballard favored as starting back

Indianapolis Colts RB Vick Ballard is expected to enter training camp as the team's No. 1 running back, but that doesn't mean RB Donald Brown will not also see playing time. Head coach Chuck Pagano sees Ballard as a player who gets stronger as the game wears on, while Brown is considered more of a home run hitter for the offense.

"Can Vick be an every-down guy? Yeah. Can Donnie be an every-down guy? Yeah. They are different types of runners and are more than capable on third down, knowing the protections and picking up blitzers and being effective once they get out to catch the football and doing those things out of the backfield," Pagano said. "Vick is a solid, solid guy; Donnie is a home run hitter," Pagano said. "If he gets the edge and hits a crease, he can take it the distance."

Colts | Allen Chapman signed

The Indianapolis Colts have signed undrafted free-agent CB Allen Chapman (Kansas State). Terms of the contract were not disclosed. In a corresponding move, the team waived CB Nigel Malone.

Colts | Hugh Thornton working RG

The Indianapolis Colts lined OG Hugh Thornton up at right guard during their rookie minicamp and will allow him to develop at the position.

Patriots latest news and notes

Patriots | Danny Amendola gets on same page with Tom Brady

New England Patriots WR Danny Amendola is working on getting on the same page with QB Tom Brady. The two worked out together earlier in the offseason in California and are now taking part in organized team activities. "I said it today; he darted me in the chest with one ball, and inside my head I was like, 'Wow, this guy can really wing it,'" Amendola said after Tuesday's practice. "That's why he's Tom Brady."

Patriots | Rob Gronkowski surgery went smoothly

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft said that the prognosis following arm surgery for TE Rob Gronkowski (forearm, back) was "as good a report as we could hope for."

Patriots | Rob Gronkowski to meet with doctor about back

New England Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski (forearm, back) plans to meet with a doctor in California in about three to four weeks to decide whether he will need to undergo back surgery.

Patriots | Doctors believe Rob Gronkowski's infection cleared

New England Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski (forearm, back) underwent surgery Monday, May 20, to replace the plate in his forearm. The doctors believe the infection in his forearm has cleared.

Patriots | Two UDFAs signed

The New England Patriots have signed undrafted free-agent WR Mark Harrison (Rutgers) and PK David Ruffer (Notre Dame). Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
