INDIANAPOLIS — The NFL trade deadline has passed.
Veteran running back Marlon Mack is still a Colt.
Mack has been the subject of trade speculation since late September, when he went to the Colts’ decision-makers and requested a trade to land a more consistent role in another NFL offense.
The Colts understood why Mack was making the trade request and agreed to look for an opportunity. The veteran running back was not angry at the Indianapolis coaching staff or front office, but he’s worried about his opportunity to prove to the rest of the NFL that he can be a starting running back again after tearing his Achilles last season.
