But to put on the pads and go play with his teammates, put a helmet back on and go do all those things again, again, we&#8217;ll have those conversations myself and him and see where he&#8217;s at at the end of the week to make that decision.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Getting Taylor back at practice is Step 1 after a drama-filled offseason that included a trade request from the running back. Rapoport and Pelissero reported on Sunday that there have been no recent trade talks between the Colts and other teams.<\/p>\n<p>Taylor is due roughly $4.3 million in the final year of his rookie contract, but at this stage, the focus is getting the 2021 NFL rushing champ back on the field.<\/p>\n<p>In the thick of the AFC South race, where all four clubs are 2-2, the Colts could use the boost Taylor can provide when healthy. Zack Moss has carried the load out of Indy&#8217;s backfield since missing Week 1 due to injury. In Sunday&#8217;s overtime loss to the Rams, Moss carried 18 times for 70 yards (3.9 average).<\/p>\n<p>With rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson shining early in the season, getting Taylor back, despite the surrounding drama, will be a boost to the young signal-caller.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/news\/colts-announce-rb-jonathan-taylor-ankle-to-return-to-practice-on-wednesday\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor will return to practice on Wednesday, head coach Shane Steichen told reporters on Monday.
