• Colts' Trey Sermon: Sparse playing time in win

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Sermon had one reception for three yards on his only target and did not have a carry in Sunday's win at the Jets. He played just five snaps on offense as Jonathan Taylor played on 63 of the offense's 70 snaps. Sermon did play more snaps than Tyler Goodson (two snaps), but it may be Goodson that has more of a role as a pass catcher if the Colts fall far behind. Either way, neither Sermon nor Goodson currently has much of a role if Taylor is fully healthy.

• Colts' Trey Sermon: Plays just two snaps in loss

  11D ago • By RotoWire

  Sermon did not have a carry but recorded one reception for four yards in Sunday's loss to Buffalo. He played just two snaps on offense. Sermon has fallen behind Tyler Goodson in the competition for playing time behind Jonathan Taylor. However, Goodson played just nine snaps as Taylor played on 84 percent of the offense's snaps and was on the field late in the game despite the Colts falling far behind. Both trends don't bode well for Sermon's usage when all three backs are healthy.

• Colts' Trey Sermon: Limited role against Minnesota

  17D ago • By RotoWire

  Sermon rushed twice for four yards and caught one of two targets for nine yards in Sunday's 21-13 loss to the Vikings. Sermon played just 14 of the Colts' 54 offensive snaps Sunday, behind starter Jonathan Taylor (39) and Tyler Goodson (1). The 25-year-old operated in a minimal role as the Colts' No. 2 running back, and he should continue to see limited opportunities as long as Taylor can stay healthy. Sermon and the Colts will host the Bills in Week 10.

• Colts' Trey Sermon: Set to play Sunday

  10/18/2024 • By RotoWire

  Sermon (knee) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Dolphins. Sermon has benefited the last two contests with Jonathan Taylor (ankle) sidelined, at least in terms of touches (34 in all), but his efficiency has been lacking to the tune of 2.4 yards per carry and 4.2 yards per catch. Sermon also tended to first a collarbone injury during Week 6 prep and then a knee issue this week, but he was able to increase his activity level from none Wednesday to some Thursday before Friday's full practice. With Taylor out again Sunday, Sermon seems to be the top candidate to pace the Colts backfield, but Tyler Goodson has been far more productive during Taylor's absence, turning 20 touches into 122 yards from scrimmage. Indianapolis also has Evan Hull on the active roster and Salvon Ahmed and Trent Pennix on the practice squad, but the trio have combined for no snaps in any facet this season.

• Colts' Trey Sermon: Not practicing to start week

  10/16/2024 • By RotoWire

  Sermon (knee) isn't practicing Wednesday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports. Jonathan Taylor (ankle) was also sitting out practice to begin Week 7 prep, after his absence for the previous two games allowed Sermon to make consecutive starts while handling 16 and 18 touches out of the backfield. Sermon apparently came out of Sunday's 20-17 win over the Titans with a knee injury, although he was still getting carries up until the final minute of the game. He's averaging just 2.6 yards per carry as the starter and 2.5 for the season, with his poor efficiency perhaps opening the door for Tyler Goodson to get more work if Taylor is out for another week. Goodson could be busy if both Taylor and Sermon end up missing Sunday's game against Miami.
