Jonathan Taylor

Colts RB Jonathan Taylor showed no ill effects from his high-ankle sprain in his return on Sunday. He carried 20 times for 105 yards (5.3 YPC) and a TD against a Texans defense that entered allowing just 4.0 yards per carry to RBs. Taylor had four runs of 10+ yards, including a long of 28. He also had a 12-yarder called back by a holding penalty. Taylor handled all 20 RB carries in this one, although he was targeted on just one of QB Anthony Richardson's 32 passes.

Taylor (ankle) rushed 20 times for 105 yards and a touchdown and secured his only target for 12 yards in the Colts' 23-20 loss to the Texans on Sunday.

Taylor looked spry and healthy in his first game back from a high-ankle sprain. His 28-yard run in the third quarter set the Colts up with a first-and-goal, and Taylor had six separate carries of more than seven yards. He was put in a difficult position by the struggles of the passing game, but thankfully found a goal-line touchdown after Josh Downs was ruled down at the 1. Taylor will have good volume against the Vikings, though it's a tough enough matchup that Taylor is more of a low-end RB1 for Week 8.

He landed awkwardly on a tackle against Jonathan Taylor and left the game shortly thereafter. M.J. Stewart is set for more defensive snaps in his absence. The rookie third-rounder Bullock had three interceptions in four starts.

He was one of two Colts named questionable on the final report, but it never sounded like there was much of a chance that Buckner would miss a must-win game for the Colts against the only other AFC South contender. Josh Downs, Michael Pittman, and Jonathan Taylor all came off the injury report Friday and are active. Inactive for the Colts are: DE Genard Avery, QB Sam Ehlinger, WR Anthony Gould, DE Isaiah Land, CB David Long Jr., and C Danny Pinter. Avery is the only non-healthy scratch of the group as he deals with a foot injury.
