The Facts: The Indianapolis Colts have waived running back Dawson. He appeared in two games in 2008 before being placed on the season-ending injured reserve list with what the team described as a head injury.
Diehards Line:Dawson's departure leaves the Colts with four running backs: Joseph Addai, Mike Hart, Lance Ball and Chad Simpson. They might re-sign veteran backup Dominic Rhodes, who became an unrestricted free agent after last season.
