The Indianapolis Colts have plenty of positional needs entering free agency in 2024 and even though the running back position isn’t at the top of the list, some depth could be added.
With Jonathan Taylor returning in the first year of his new contract extension, the Colts know who the leader in the backfield is and should be.
