RB Jonathan Taylor will come off the PUP list and could even play Sunday, said coach Shane Steichen. Should Colts fans get their hopes up?
this week, saying Monday that the star running back will be designated to return from the Physically Unable to Perform list. He will practice for the first time this season most likely on Thursday — Indianapolis will hold just a walk-thru Wednesday — and Steichen didn't rule him out for Sunday's divisional matchup against the"I had great conversations with him," the first-year coach said.
Since Week 2, Moss has rushed for eight first downs in second-and-short, third-and-short and fourth-down situations combined, third in the league per NGS — trailing only. Taylor and Moss could be one of the best running back tandems in the league. You add Richardson's scrambling and running ability to that picture, and it's possible Indianapolis could have one of the most dynamic rushing attacks in the league.
Taylor, who in 2021 had the most prolific rushing season in franchise history, missed six games last season due to a sprained ankle, which he had surgically repaired in January. He missed all on-field work during the offseason program and training camp. Taylor's true feelings amid his contract standoff with the Colts aren't known. The best insight we have into his thinking has been his agent Malki Kawa's spat over X, formerly known as Twitter, with Irsay over the summer. When general manager Chris Ballard spoke to local reporters at the end of August, the franchise's relationship with Taylor was in a bad place. It still might be. There's been no indication that he has rescinded his trade request.
It's not clear what the interest in Taylor is now, but that could pick up in the next few weeks ahead of the Oct. 31 trade deadline.
