Colts statement released a short while ago: “Jonathan Taylor returned to Indianapolis to continue his rehab, however he had a personal matter arise. He is not currently with the team and his absence is excused.”

Despite the turmoil and repeated reports of Taylor wanting out of Indianapolis, this doesn't appear to be anything more than what it seems. Taylor will hopefully be able to return to the team later this week and we will see strides towards the answer of whether he will be taking Week 1 snaps with the team.

Colts RB Jonathan Taylor, who has been away from the team getting additional rehab on his ankle, is back today, source said.

Taylor remains on PUP and his stance has not changed, and he wants a trade out of Indy. But, he has returned to the team, according to the rest of Rapoport's post. With Taylor out and Moss dealing with an arm injury, Hull and Jackson look to be later-round targets, at least for now.

The Colts are signing RB Kenyan Drake, per his agency.

With Taylor sidelined for what feels like an indefinite amount of time as it stands, Zack Moss is also out for 1-2 months with a broken forearm. Drake adds depth and probably impacts rookie Evan Hull's ability to see the field early in the year more than anything.

As for the trade demand, Jim Irsay’s been adamant: It’s not happening. Not now and not before the deadline in October. The team owns every bit of leverage here and has the option of placing the franchise tag on Jonathan Taylor each of the next two offseasons — a last-ditch outcome that would surely not be either side’s preference.

As Chris Ballard said recently, “The market is what the market is.”

With Taylor sidelined for what feels like an indefinite amount of time as it stands, Zack Moss is also out for 1-2 months with a broken forearm. The relationship between Taylor and the team feels like it's bordering on abject disaster, but if the Colts franchise tag him and he sits out anyways, he will only be hurting his own bank account.

Through no fault of Taylor's, the team doesn't want to pay a running back while not in "win-now" mode, but they also don't want to trade him for assets. JT's first-round capital should be faded in fantasy drafts, even if we get confirmation that he is staying in Indianapolis.

After a conversation in his owner's bus, Jonathan Taylor is looking to motor out of Indy. The All-Pro running back requested a trade following a meeting with Jim Irsay on the team bus during Saturday's training camp session, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported. Taylor, who is currently on the physically unable to perform list, wants a contract extension that puts him in line with the league's highest-paid running backs, but the Colts have not yet made a contract offer, according to Rapoport.

"We're not trading Jonathan ... end of discussion," Jim Irsay texted Albert Breer. "Not now and not in October!"

It doesn't seem like a trade would pick up steam without another team absolutely overpaying for the services of the running back. Taylor is set up as a top-10 fantasy RB but his upside might be capped in an offense that may not be great.

After months of sidestepping the question of a contract extension with the Colts, RB Jonathan Taylor has changed his tone, remarking that "it's kind of on (the Colts) right now." Beat writer James Boyd believes that Anthony Richardson's need for some offensive stability and, of course, the quarterback's rookie contract should open the door for that extension.

Taylor just wants "to be treated fairly," but the negotiations are likely tough after missing so much time due to an ankle injury in 2022. Taylor and Richardson could turn into a very interesting 1-2 punch if the quarterback can get up to speed quickly, which makes him a top-5 RB for the foreseeable future in Indianapolis.

The Colts are expected to place Jonathan Taylor (ankle) on injured reserve Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Taylor's season is over after he suffered a right high-ankle sprain during Saturday's loss to the Vikings. As the story said, in a corresponding move, Indianapolis is promoting Wilkins to the 53-man roster, where he joins a backfield corps including Moss and Jackson. Jackson has carried the load before for the Colts when Taylor was out, but the team is likely in evaluation mode so all three backs could factor into the workload.

Colts star RB Jonathan Taylor was diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain sustained in Saturday’s game against the Vikings. He’s still meeting with doctors, but it’s considered highly unlikely that he’ll play again this season.

Bad timing for fantasy managers, but Taylor went down early in Week 15's embarrassing Colts loss. Jackson and Moss would end up splitting time, with each running a very similar amount of routes, while Moss ran 24 times for 81 yards while Jackson went 13-for-55. It won't be easy to trust either option in the fantasy semi-finals.

Colts RB Jonathan Taylor suffered an ankle injury during Saturday's game against the Vikings and is out for the remainder of the day.

Taylor went down in the first quarter and was originally ruled questionable to return. He went to the locker room and has since been ruled out. Deon Jackson has taken over in the Colts backfield and already has a receiving touchdown.

Good sign for Taylor he's possibly trending in the right direction for Week 10. Taylor should be in lineups if he plays, but the Colts offense is a mess with a new head coach and a new playcaller.
