The Indianapolis Colts have ruled out former Wisconsin running back Jonathan Taylor for Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
After missing practice on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday with a high ankle injury, Colts head coach Shane Steichen confirmed Taylor’s absence from this weekend’s divisional showdown vs. the reeling Jaguars.
The injury occurred during the Colts’ Week 4 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Indianapolis. After being tackled near the line of scrimmage, Taylor came down hard on his right ankle and exited the game. Running back Trey Sermon figures to take on a bulk of Taylor’s workload while he remains sidelined.
The two-time Doak Walker Award winner was off to a thundering start to his 2024 campaign. In four games, he totaled 72 carries for 349 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns. He also reeled in six receptions for 77 yards in games against the Houston Texans, Green Bay Packers, Chicago Bears and Pittsburgh Steelers.
