The Indianapolis Colts ruled out star running back Jonathan Taylor, defensive end Kwity Paye and cornerback Kenny Moore II for Sunday’s game against the host Jacksonville Jaguars.
Head coach Shane Steichen, however, did not rule out quarterback Anthony Richardson as the Colts (2-2) prepare to face the Jaguars (0-4). The latter was limited in practice this week while dealing with an oblique injury.
“We’ll see,” Steichen said of Richardson, who was injured during Indianapolis’ 27-24 home win against the Pittsburgh Steelers last Sunday. Veteran Joe Flacco replaced Richardson and completed 16 of 26 passes for 166 yards and two touchdowns to preserve the victory.
Taylor did not participate in practice this week after sustaining an ankle injury against the Steelers. Taylor had 108 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown before exiting during the fourth quarter.
Taylor leads the Colts in carries (72), rushing yards (349) and rushing touchdowns (four). Richardson is second on the team in carries (21) and rushing yards (141). Richardson and Trey Sermon each have one rushing score.
“It’ll be running back by committee this week,” Steichen said.
Paye and Moore did not participate in practice this week after sustaining their respective injuries in the Colts’ 21-16 win over the Chicago Bears on Sept. 22.
