The Indianapolis Colts have put their tag-team runners -- Joseph Addai and Dominic Rhodes -- back together.

The tandem that helped Indianapolis win its first Super Bowl title has been reunited after Rhodes agreed on a one-year deal to return to the Colts. Rhodes' agent, Mike McCartney, confirmed the signing Wednesday in an e-mail to the Associated Press, although he did not disclose financial details.

As they split carries in 2006, Addai and Rhodes combined for 190 yards rushing in a 23-8 victory over Kansas City, closed out a 15-6 victory in Baltimore when Indy settled for five field goals and then helped wear down New England's defense in the AFC championship game. Addai scored on a 3-yard run with a minute left to give Indy a 38-34 victory over the Patriots.

In the Super Bowl, Addai ran 19 times for 77 yards and Rhodes finished with 113 yards rushing and one touchdown in a 29-17 victory over Chicago.

Rhodes spent his first six NFL seasons with the Colts, rushing for 2,274 yards.

Last spring, Rhodes became a free agent and signed a two-year deal with the Raiders. He was hoping for a chance to start, but after serving a four-game suspension for violating the league's substance abuse policy, his opportunities dwindled. He finished with 75 carries, 302 yards and one TD.

Shortly after the NFL draft, the Raiders released him.
