While the injury front hasn’t been kind to the Indianapolis Colts, they did get some encouraging news in running back Marlon Mack returning to practice on Wednesday.
As the Colts look to shake off their divisional loss against the Tennessee Titans, Mack appears to have a chance to make his return against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 14, but it remains to be seen if that will happen.
Marlon Mack will practice today. “There’s a chance” he could play Sunday, per Reich. #Colts

Mack suffered a broken hand in the Week 12 win against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He had already rushed 14 times for 106 yards and a touchdown in that game before leaving midway through the third quarter.
Mack is enjoying a career year and likely would have been heavily involved in the Pro Bowl voting had it not been for the broken hand. On the season, he has 192 carries for 862 yards and four touchdowns while averaging 4.5 yards per carry.
The Colts have been running the ball well this season, much in part due to the offensive line and Mack running behind them. If all goes well this week, Indy could see the return of their starting running back.
