Colts coach Shane Steichen said he’s “optimistic” that Jonathan Taylor (ankle) will practice this week.

21 October 2024

Taylor has not played since Indianapolis’ Week 4 win over the Steelers, and has not practiced since. It’s possible there’s more in-building motivation than normal for Taylor’s return given just how important this game is to the Colts, as a win over the Texans would tie them for first place in the AFC South. Taylor’s practice status will be a hot Wednesday topic, with our last real update from Taylor himself, before Week 7, hinting to the media that his ankle wasn’t able to move in the ways he’d need it to.
