The big news surrounding the Indianapolis Colts this week is that RB Jonathan Taylor's 21-day practice window to return from the team's PUP list.

The team elected to perform a walk-through on Wednesday instead of a practice following their last two games going into overtime. 

Jonathan Taylor was expected to practice today, but we will have to wait one more day to see him take the field after they changed their plans. They did share that he would take part in the walk-through today, which is an excellent step in the right direction towards him returning to action sooner rather than later. An interesting element is that NFL insider Ian Rapoport reported that Jonathan Taylor "is healthy," he even went so far as to say:

"He probably would have been healthy about two weeks ago, if there were none of these issues, he might have played in the opener, probably would have been able to play week 2 at least."

Wednesday Injury Report: 

Full Participant: 

  • Jonathan Taylor 
  • Ryan Kelly

Not only is Jonathan Taylor finally back, but he is listed as a full participant. This means if there was a practice, this is the estimate that the team would have given him. This is big news for his chances of making his debut this Sunday against the Titans. 

Ryan Kelly remains in the league's concussion protocol but got a full practice in today, which sounds like he is progressing towards finally clearing protocol this week. Signs are good he returns to the field this week after missing the last two weeks with a concussion he suffered in Week 2. 

Did Not Practice: 

  • Mo Alie-Cox
  • Deforest Buckner
  • Shaquille Leonard
  • Tyquan Lewis
  • Quenton Nelson
  • Kwity Paye
  • Bernhard Raimann
  • Ryan Kelly

This is the longest list of players not participating in practice for the Colts this season. Newcomers this week include TE Mo Alie-Cox, DE Tyquan Lewis, and DE Kwity Paye. A new injury for Shaquille Leonard, his designation today, was because of a groin injury. With today just being a walk-through, there should be more info on this group tomorrow when the team practices for the first time this week.
