Colts’ RB Jonathan Taylor ruled out, making it ‘next man up’ again in the Indy backfield

Indianapolis Colts (2-2) running back Jonathan Taylor, who’s battling a high-ankle sprain suffered during last weekend’s win, was officially ruled out ahead of Sunday’s road game against the Jacksonville Jaguars (0-4) (-3).

This doesn’t necessarily come as a surprise, as while Taylor was publicly hopeful post-game on Sunday, it typically takes at least a few weeks for a high-ankle sprain to fully heal.

The Colts likely want to be cautious with Taylor’s injury too, given it’s the same bothersome right ankle that cost him 6 games in 2022 due to a Grade 2-3 ankle sprain, as well as the first 4 games of the 2023 campaign—as he initially began it on PUP, still recovering.
