According to The Athletic’s James Boyd, Indianapolis Colts star running back will undergo thumb surgery performed by Los Angeles based surgeon Steven S. Shin, and the hope is that he’ll be able to return after two to three weeks of recovery:
“Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor will undergo thumb surgery Wednesday in Los Angeles with the hope that he can return in 2-3 weeks, team owner Jim Irsay told The Athletic,” Boyd writes.
While losing Taylor will no doubt be a major blow during his short-term absence, as he remains the Colts’ best offensive weapon and is a true workhorse in the ground game, Indianapolis should be in pretty good hands during the interim period with top backup Zack Moss taking over starting duties again.
