The Colts will likely be without star running back Jonathan Taylor against the Jaguars in Jacksonville on Sunday, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Taylor suffered an ankle injury late in Indianapolis’ Week 4 win over Pittsburgh, leading to his exit from the game after collecting 88 rushing yards and one touchdown.
“[Taylor] is dealing with a high-ankle sprain from that game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He has not practiced this week,” Rapoport explained.
“My understanding is it was a mild sprain but likely to miss some time. This would be the time. It would be a surprise if he was able get on the field for the Colts.”
Taylor has rushed 72 times for 349 yards and four touchdowns this season, averaging 4.8 yards per carry. He has added six receptions for 77 yards.
Jacksonville limited Taylor to 19 yards over eight rushes but allowed him five catches for 46 yards un Week 6 last season. He was not available for the Jaguars and Colts’ Week 1 matchup in 2023 amid a contract dispute.
Rapoport also shared a brief update on Colts starting quarterback Anthony Richardson, calling it a “good sign” he has practiced in a limited fashion daily this week after suffering a hip injury against the Steelers.
