According to head coach Shane Steichen, the Indianapolis Colts are ‘ramping up’ running back Jonathan Taylor’s practice reps—with the team being in pads on Wednesday (via ESPN’s Stephen Holder):
Regarding RB Jonathan Taylor, Colts coach Shane Steichen says they are going to "ramp him up" in practice this week and sounds like his workload could increase on Sunday in Jacksonville.

The Colts didn’t just make Taylor one of the highest paid running backs in football to see him get 6 carries per game going forward, so there was no question he was going to assume a greater workload once he continues to get his conditioning back to full form.
