Colts will not have Jonathan Taylor for the game against Patriots

Jonathan Taylor, once the NFL’s leading rusher, is going through a tough season plagued by injuries

INDIANAPOLIS — Indianapolis Colts All-Pro running back Jonathan Taylorwill miss his third game of the season on Sunday due to a lingering ankle injury.

The ankle injury worsened Jonathan Taylorsuffered on Sunday against the Washington Commanders, and will not play in the Week 9 road game of the Colts against the New England Patriots.

Given the repeated injury, the Colts might have to change things with taylor to “give him the rest he needs,” said the coach on Friday Frank Reich.

“I thought we had a chance, that I could progress a little bit more this week, but it wasn’t like that,” he reported. Reich. “So we have to be smart, do the right thing for the player and do the right thing for the team.”

It’s been a tough year health-wise for the leading rusher in the NFL in 2021, who had never missed a game due to injury prior to the 2022 season. First, he battled a toe injury that plagued him for the first few games of the season, then missed two weeks with the first irruption of this ankle injury.

Jonathan Taylor he had 10 100-yard carries last season, but hasn’t had one since Week 1 in 2022.

The lost of taylor comes just days after the Colts traded the backup running back Nyheim Hines to the Buffalo Bills. It is likely that Deon Jackson start on Sunday, and that the veteran Philip Lindsay be promoted from the practice squad.

It is yet to be determined, reported ReichYes Zack Mosswho was sent to Indianapolis in the Hines trade, can contribute the Colts.
