INDIANAPOLIS -- Running back Ahmad Bradshaw returned to Lucas Oil Field on Wednesday for the first time since he scored the winning touchdown for the New York Giants in the 2012 Super Bowl. The newest member of the Indianapolis Colts donned his familiar No. 44, but wore a grey walking boot on his right foot. Bradshaw, signed to a one-year deal Tuesday, is still rehabbing from January foot surgery with an eye on being healthy when players report to training camp July 27. "Its something that I have to go through. Its a process," Bradshaw said. "Were just taking it slow right now. I feel great. Im just happy to be here. I cant say its strange (to be back in this building). Its a great feeling. Hopefully, great things will happen in this building while Im here also." The Giants released the 27-year-old Bradshaw in February after six seasons with the team. He won two Super Bowls in New York and had two 1,000-yard rushing seasons, but injuries were a consistent issue. His last carry on the Lucas Oil Stadium turf was the 6-yard touchdown run in which he spun backward at 1 and sat down in the end zone with 57 seconds remaining against the Patriots. Bradshaw had been out of the walking boot, but the Colts asked him to put it back on when he signed. He tagged along with the running back group and closely followed the practice script on sheets of paper. Vick Ballard, who rushed for 814 yards as a rookie in 2012, and Donald Brown will be Bradshaws biggest competition for regular-season snaps. "Just to err on the side of caution, just to protect him from himself," Colts coach Chuck Pagano said. "The kid wants to go, but hes not ready. You get great competitors like that and you basically have to protect them from themselves. "Weve got one practice left. It wouldnt make any sense to throw him out here today or tomorrow and have him re-injure that foot and lose him for half the season. Hell be ready by training camp." The 10,000 fans were still thrilled to get autographs from Bradshaw and the rest of the Colts at the lone public workout of minicamp. Players well be free until training camp after Thursdays session. This was the first opportunity for fans to check out 37 new faces, including free-agent signings Gosder Cherilus, LaRon Landry, Erik Walden, Darrius Heyward-Bey and first-round draft pick Bjoern Werner. "Were standing there during warm-ups and you get a guy like Reggie Wayne comes up to you and he says, It doesnt matter what time of year it is, when the lights are on, it doesnt matter," Pagano said. "Great players like him and the rest of the guys out here, it makes the hair on the back of the neck stand up. Thats when you know you have the right guys." Quarterback Andrew Luck and Wayne drew the loudest applause, as usual, when they connected on a 68-yard touchdown pass with safety Antoine Bethea trailing. The duo also hooked up on a 48-yard flea-flicker. "A bunch of guys are playing well," Luck said. "Obviously, everybody knows what Reggie can do. Theres a bunch of guys fighting for sports, fighting to show coach what they can do. Its nice to see everybody putting in 100 per cent." Suns Jerseys China .

MANCHESTER, England -- Kelechi Iheanacho began his month-long stint as Sergio Agueros replacement by scoring Manchester Citys equalizer in a 1-1 draw against Celtic in a Champions League game carrying little significance on Tuesday.Iheanacho drove a rising shot into the roof of the net in the eighth minute to cancel out a fourth-minute goal by winger Patrick Roberts, who is four months into his second straight season-long loan at Celtic from City.The result mattered little since City was already sure of finishing in second place in Group C while Celtic had no chance of avoiding a last-place finish. The group ended with City on nine points -- six behind Barcelona -- and Celtic on three points from six games.The 20-year-old Iheanacho started in a young, makeshift City lineup and will likely stay up front for the English team this month. Aguero is suspended for the next four Premier League games following his red card against Chelsea on Saturday, his second sending-off of the season.The Nigeria striker proved a handy back-up for Aguero during the Argentines first ban this season, scoring three goals in three games, and came into this match with 12 goals in 17 starts for City.Make that 13 in 18 after he raced onto Nolitos ball behind the defense, took one touch and planted a shot high past Celtic goalkeeper Craig Gordon.I have the responsibility to be striker for the team now, Iheanacho said. I have to prove myself and get the goals for the team.ddddddddddddWith nothing on the line in terms of qualification, City included two 19-year-olds -- Pablo Maffeo and Tosin Adarabioyo -- in defense for their Champions League debuts alongside Bacary Sagna in the unusual position of center back.That defense endured a wobbly start and conceded a sloppy goal, even if it was well-taken by Roberts. Leroy Sane couldnt control City goalkeeper Willy Caballeros pass out from the back and Roberts picked the ball up on the right wing, jinked inside two defenders before placing a shot past Caballero into the corner.Iheanacho had a flicked shot saved, Nolito had a goal disallowed and Sane fired just wide from a free kick, but Celtic also troubled City at the other end in an open game at Etihad Stadium.Celtic had the better of the chances in the second half, and City was thankful for a save by Caballero from substitute Gary Mackay-Steven late on.City has qualified for the knockout stage for the fifth straight season and will discover its last-16 opponent on Monday. Asked how he felt after a group-stage campaign in which City won two of its six games, Guardiola said: Were in the (last 16) my friend. We will see in February how we are.Guardiola has never failed to reach the semifinals of the Champions League in past spells in charge of Barcelona and Bayern Munich. ' ' '
