Running back Zack Moss’ chances of suiting up for Indianapolis’ in Week 1 diminished over the weekend.<\/p>\n
The Colts downgraded Moss from questionable to doubtful on Saturday. Moss managed limited participation in practice all week as he works his way back from a broken forearm suffered on July 31, but the new designation suggests a likely absence when Indy takes the field against the Jacksonville Jaguars.<\/p>\n
Another indication that he will sit out took place when the Colts elevated fellow RB Jake Funk to the active roster shortly after announcing Moss’ designation.<\/p>\n
Listed as the team’s starting running back with Jonathan Taylor still on the physically unable to perform list, Moss missing Sunday would send the Indianapolis’ into further disarray.<\/p>\n
The Colts have three other RBs now on the active roster. Deon Jackson flashed in spurts relieving Taylor last year, turning 68 carries into 236 yards and a touchdown while collecting 30 receptions for 209 yards and another score. Evan Hull, a fifth-round rookie, rounds out the backfield options on the roster alongside the aforementioned Funk.<\/p>\n
The musical chairs to find a healthy runner unfortunately takes place against the backdrop of quarterback Anthony Richardson’s first NFL start.<\/p>\n
One positive for the Colts’ rushing prospects? The big-armed quarterback is plenty dangerous carrying the ball in his own right.<\/p>\n
