Shane Steichen, the Colts’ first-year head coach, has a 7-6 record. Despite losing starting quarterback Anthony Richardson to season-ending shoulder surgery in October, they remain on the verge of making the playoffs.
‘Optimism’: Colts RB returns in Week 16 after thumb surgery
The Colts’ top running back is officially out for Saturday’s game against the Steelers, but he could return shortly.
The Indianapolis Colts running back is still out for today’s game against the Colts. Still, he could participate in the team’s Week 16 game against the Atlanta Falcons next weekend.
During an interview on NFL Game Day Kickoff, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport provided an update on Taylor. Look it up here.
“The Indianapolis Colts are getting help. According to Rapoport, “there is optimism that Jonathan Taylor would potentially be out there next week after missing three weeks, and this was the hope as soon as he had surgery — this is why they did not put him on Injured Reserve, and he could be back within that four-week span.” His participation versus the Falcons next week is described to me as’realistic.'”
Taylor injured his thumb on November 26th after rushing for 91 yards and two touchdowns in the team’s 27-20 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Dr. Steven Shin inserted an internal brace in Taylor’s thumb two weeks ago, according to Rapoport.
Taylor began the season in a contract dispute with the Colts, eventually settling to a three-year, $42 million extension in early October that included $26.5 million in guaranteed money.
