Report: Taylor likely to miss rest of season with high ankle sprain

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor is expected to miss the remainder of the season due to a high ankle sprain suffered in Saturday’s loss to the Minnesota Vikings, sources told NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

While Taylor is still meeting with doctors, the Colts are likely to shut him down for the year with their playoff hopes all but over, Rapoport added.

Indianapolis fell to 4-9-1 after the Vikings engineered the largest comeback in NFL history, erasing a 33-point deficit to win in overtime.

Taylor, who missed three games earlier in the year with an ankle injury, hasn’t been able to replicate his All-Pro form from 2021 amid major struggles for Indianapolis’ offense.

He has rushed for 861 yards and four touchdowns in 11 appearances after leading the NFL with 1,811 yards and 18 rushing scores last season.

Zack Moss and Deon Jackson will likely lead the Colts’ backfield for the rest of the year.
