Taylor's missed the last two weeks with a thumb injury and his status remains to be determined for Saturday against Pittsburgh, although reports say a Week 16 return is more likely.

Colts’ RB Jonathan Taylor has been ruled out for Sunday’s game at Cincinnati.

After Zack Moss handled 100% of the team's backfield carries last week, we should bank on him getting the full-workload nod once again. Consider him a locked-in RB1 ahead of a great matchup.

Colts RB Jonathan Taylor is having thumb surgery and will miss a few weeks, meaning Zack Moss is RB1 once again.

Moss will return into his huge early-season load, and should be considered a must-start in all formats until Taylor returns.

Colts owner Jim Irsay confirms the thumb injury and that Jonathan Taylor will have surgery tomorrow and miss a couple weeks.

We reported the possible missed time with the thumb injury earlier today, and that's now confirmed. Taylor injured the thumb last week but did come back to the game. Today, sources said they were further evaluating the injury. Rapoport added a source said no decision was made on Injured Reserve as of yet. But, it’s possible, and will be decided later this week. Obviously, if the Colts think Taylor will only miss the couple of weeks, he'll avoid the IR, but a trip to IR means he'll miss four games. Moss will be a must-add if he's on your waiver wire.

Colts running back Jonathan Taylor just recorded his first multi-touchdown game 2021 in Sunday’s victory over the Buccaneers. But now he may be sidelined as Indianapolis tries to make a playoff push.

Taylor suffered a thumb injury that requires further evaluation and puts his status in doubt going forward, according to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport.

The good news is, Taylor sustained the injury in the first half and was able to play through the second half. He finished the game with 15 carries for 91 yards with two TDs. Owners will want to monitor his status leading up to this week's game at the Titans, which is an early contest. If Taylor can't go, Moss would likely see a bulk of the work and has proven to be pretty good as the lead back. You may want to grab Moss if he fell back on your waiver wire.

On Monday, head coach Shane Steichen said that he is “always self-evaluating everything” and said there were “absolutely” chances to run the ball after watching the film of the loss but that the scoreboard helped dictate the move in the other direction.

“Sometimes the game, the flow of the game will kind of dictate how it’s called there,” Steichen said, via Joel A. Erickson of the Indianapolis Star. “You’re down two scores in the fourth quarter. Could I have popped a run in there? Absolutely, but I decided to throw it there towards the end.”

The story went on to say Taylor had 11 carries for 94 yards over the first two quarters, but he didn’t get much of an opportunity to build on it in the second half. Taylor ran once for a yard on the first play of the third quarter, but the Colts went with Moss as their back on the next possession and then went three-and-out with three passes to open the fourth quarter. The Saints would go up 15 points before the next Colts drive and running was off the table for the rest of the 38-27 loss.

The Colts officially activated RB Jonathan Taylor from the Physically Unable To Perform list Saturday.

Taylor will play Sunday against the Titans. He was a full go this week at practice and now has no injury designation for the game. He had originally been listed as questionable but now there are no concerns with him. The Titans have been quite good against the run so far (4th-best in the league). Taylor still makes for a nice RB2/Flex option this week.

In his first public comments since June, Colts’ RB Jonathan Taylor told reporters: “It feels really good to be healthy. The main goal was to be healthy and play football.” Taylor is physically ready to play.

We're still waiting to hear something concrete on his role in the offense for Week 5, but it sure seems like he will be out there. Expect a split backfield right out of the gate, but Taylor should have a majority role with Moss spelling him.

Colts’ RB Jonathan Taylor was listed today as a full participant in practice.

Welp, I guess that's that? If Taylor is fully healthy and back with the team in a full capacity, nothing is keeping him from retaking hold of the backfield. We'll keep an eye on the situation, but it seems like business as usual with the Colts and the former fantasy stud.

A report this weekend said that the Colts would open running back Jonathan Taylor’s window to return from the physically unable to perform list this week and head coach Shane Steichen confirmed it on Monday.

Steichen said that the process will begin on Wednesday and that the plan is for Taylor to practice with the team for the first time this year. Taylor also requested a trade this offseason because the team has not shown interest in giving him the long-term contract he wants, but Steichen said Taylor is excited about getting back to work with the team. Steichen also said that Taylor could play in Week 5 against the Titans and that how Taylor looks on the practice field will determine whether that happens, the story went on to say. What a strange situation this has turned into. Owners should monitor his progress this week. One would assume if Taylor is ready to go he could at least be a flex option in lineups, but there's a lot of information we'll need between now and then. The Colts host the Titans in an early game in Week 5.
