Colts' Jonathan Taylor: Inefficient in Week 11 win
Jonathan Taylor rushed 24 times for 57 yards and caught one of two targets for three yards in Sunday's 28-27 win over the Jets.Taylor was surprisingly quiet in the victory, posting his third-lowest rushing yardage total of the season despite setting a season high in rushing attempts. Anthony Richardson scored two short rushing touchdowns in the quarterback's return to the starting role, while Taylor was kept out of the end zone for the third consecutive game after running in five touchdowns in his first five appearances of the season. Getting back on track won't be easy for Taylor in Week 12 against the stout Lions front, especially given the high probability of the Indianapolis Colts falling behind and having to go with a more pass-heavy approach.

Colts' Jonathan Taylor: Over 100 total yards in loss
Jonathan Taylor rushed 21 times for 114 yards and secured two of four targets for eight yards in the Indianapolis Colts' 30-20 loss to the Bills on Sunday.Taylor was the only Colts running back to log a carry and helped his final total significantly with a 58-yard run in the latter portion of the first quarter. Taylor exceeded 100 yards on the ground for the second time in the last three games and fourth time overall on the season, and he now has multiple receptions in three of the past four contests as well. Taylor should remain very busy in a Week 11 road matchup against an inconsistent Jets run defense.

Colts' Jonathan Taylor: Quiet in Flacco-led offense
Jonathan Taylor rushed 13 times for 48 yards while catching three of five targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 21-13 loss to the Vikings.Taylor had rushed for at least 88 yards in each of his previous four appearances, but this performance was more similar to his disappointing 48-yard Week 1 outing against the Texans, though he at least found the end zone in that one. It's a bit worrying that this subpar outing coincided with Taylor's first game started alongside Joe Flacco at quarterback. The threat of Anthony Richardson using his legs may have helped open up additional running lanes for Taylor, but Taylor's unlikely to go into a prolonged slump while Richardson is benched given the star running back's track record of success when healthy. Taylor will look to bounce back in Week 10 against a Bills defense that has struggled to defend running backs.

Colts' Jonathan Taylor: Over 100 yards in return
Jonathan Taylor (ankle) rushed 20 times for 105 yards and a touchdown and secured his only target for 12 yards in the Indianapolis Colts' 23-20 loss to the Texans on Sunday.Taylor looked no worse for wear after a three-game absence due to an ankle injury, with the star running back ripping off several solid gains on his way to his third 100-yard effort of the season. Taylor also found the end zone for the fifth time on the campaign via a one-yard run shortly before the halfway point of the fourth quarter, and he now has at least 88 rushing yards in four consecutive contests. Taylor will draw another tough-on-paper matchup when the Colts travel to face the Vikings next Sunday night.

Colts' Jonathan Taylor: Set to return Sunday
Jonathan Taylor (ankle) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at Houston, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.Taylor sustained a right high-ankle sprain Week 4 against the Steelers and has missed the last three games as a result, but his ability to handle a full allotment of practice reps both Thursday and Friday indicates he's ready to take on most, if not all, of his normal workload. Prior to the injury, he averaged 19.5 touches for 106.5 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring four rushing TDs in four contests. If Taylor cedes any work to other RBs, though, Trey Sermon and Tyler Goodson will be on hand to give him the occasional breather.

Colts' Jonathan Taylor: Logs full practice
Jonathan Taylor (ankle) practiced fully Thursday.Taylor, who hasn't seen game action since suffering a right high-ankle sprain Week 4, returned to a limited practice Wednesday, with his full participation a day later presumably setting the stage for the Indianapolis Colts' top running back to be available for Sunday's game against the Texans. Assuming no issues with his increased activity level during Thursday's session, Taylor will be in a position to head into the weekend minus an injury designation.

Colts' Jonathan Taylor: Limited in return to practice
Jonathan Taylor (ankle) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.Given that Taylor hadn't practiced or played since suffering a right high-ankle sprain Week 4, his return to the field Wednesday suggests that he has a chance to return to action Sunday against the Texans. The running back now has two more chances upgrade to full participation before the Indianapolis Colts' final Week 8 injury report is posted. If Taylor remains out for a fourth straight game this weekend, however, Trey Sermon and Tyler Goodson would continue to see added work in the team's backfield.

Colts' Jonathan Taylor: Returning to practice
Head coach Shane Steichen said that Jonathan Taylor (ankle) will practice Wednesday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.Taylor hasn't practiced or played since sustaining a right high-ankle sprain Week 4, so his looming return to the field Wednesday offers hope that the star running back could return to action Sunday against the Texans. The team's upcoming injury report will reveal the extent of Taylor's participation in Wednesday's session, but if he's available this weekend, he would be in line to reclaim the lead role in a Indianapolis Colts backfield that has been led by Trey Sermon and Tyler Goodson over the past three games.

Colts' Jonathan Taylor: Hopeful to practice this week
Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Monday he's "optimistic" that Jonathan Taylor (ankle) will resume practicing this week, with a divisional matchup against the Texans on deck Sunday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.Taylor hasn't practiced in any capacity since suffering a right high-ankle sprain that's forced him to sit out Indianapolis' last three games, so it would represent significant progress to see him handling even limited reps when the team gets back on the practice field Wednesday. Trey Sermon has averaged just 2.9 YPC with Taylor sidelined the last three weeks, though Tyler Goodson has managed more competent production and scored his first career touchdown Week 7 against Miami. The extent of Taylor's practice activity will need to be closely monitored, but his return would provide the Colts a much-needed boost against Houston if he's able to play.
