Marlon Mack tore his Achilles during Sunday’s loss to the Jaguars, which leaves Jonathan Taylor set to take sole possession of that spot.

“Jonathan’s ready. He’ll step up and do a good job,” Colts head coach Frank Reich said on Monday, via George Bremer of the Anderson Herald Bulletin.

Taylor ran nine times for 22 yards and caught six passes for 67 yards on Sunday. Hines rushed seven times for 28 yards, caught eight passes for 45 yards and scored a touchdown each way. Wilkins is also on hand as well the story said, but it looks like Taylor could claim the a lot of the touches lost with Mack's injury.

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack has a torn Achilles, a source tells ESPN's Mike Wells.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Sunday that the Colts feared Mack suffered the torn Achilles in their season-opening loss to the Jaguars.

Mack suffered the injury after catching an underneath pass in the second quarter Sunday. He immediately grabbed his ankle, got up and took off his helmet before waving for assistance from the Colts' sideline. Taylor and Hines should continue to to split up most of the workload, each had 15 touches in Week 1. Hines stole the show a bit, though, collecting a rushing and receiving TD. Hines is expected to at least continue to have a role in the passing game.

Marlon Mack's promising 2020 might already be over.

Mack is feared to have suffered a torn Achilles during Sunday's 27-20 season-opening loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero and Mike Garafolo reported.

Colts coach Frank Reich confirmed Mack had an Achilles injury and would get an MRI on Monday. Mack played just 11 snaps, gaining 26 yards on four carries before exiting with the injury. He was carted to the locker room after making a three-yard catch during the second quarter. The injury really clears the way for Taylor to take on a major role in the running game. However it was Hines who ran for 7-28-1 and also caught eight balls for 45 yards and a TD. Taylor was equally involved with with a 9-22-0 rushing line and added six catches for 67 yards.

Jonathan Taylor’s not going anywhere.

The only question is how many touches he will get. Marlon Mack is still alive and kicking and the Colts still see him as the starting tailback. But it will be a shared workload, and Taylor can increase his opportunities based on his performance.

The writer said Taylor has shown to be more physical than advertised, and also could be a help in the passing game. He added Taylor is off to a fast start so far. Mack will still be a factor and Hines will likely get his share of passes, but Taylor is a guy to grab in fantasy drafts.

According to The Athletic, Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines is tracking to be a major part of the offense.

Nyheim Hines is showing tremendous rapport with Philip Rivers, so much so that the Athletic suggests that the 75 reception total that was bandied about earlier in camp may not be overly optimistic. “I've never seen Hines this active in the offense. Maybe all that talk of him having 75 catches isn’t that insane”. Philip Rivers is known to pepper his running backs with targets, though those expecting Hines to see a lot of playing time after the team drafted Jonathan Taylor may be disappointed. It's possible that he'll be on the field with Taylor (or Marlon Mack) but he only played 32% snaps last season, and that was before the Colts traded up to draft Taylor.

It won’t just be Nyheim Hines. It will be a lot of Nyheim Hines. Maybe even primarily Nyheim Hines. But the rest of the Indianapolis Colts running back room is going to get heavily involved in the passing game with Philip Rivers at the helm. That much was made clear Monday at Lucas Oil Stadium during the first of two dress rehearsals the Colts planned in lieu of a traditional preseason.

The story said it wasn't just check-down passes either, there were wheel routes. Hines led the way among backs with seven receptions Monday. But Taylor added five (with a drop), while incumbent starter Mack added a pair of his own. The Colt RBs have all stood out in camp so far. Taylor could end up passing Mack for the lead back, but Mack has done nothing so far to lose the job it seems.

Prized Colts rookie Jonathan Taylor has been an impressive specimen in training camp and Nyheim Hines has been incredibly active in the passing game.

But forgetting about the returning 1,000-yard rusher in Indianapolis would be a mistake.

Marlon Mack put an exclamation mark on a strong training camp so far by taking over for a brief stretch at the team’s Lucas Oil Stadium practice, the longest and heaviest practice of camp.

Mack took advantage of some huge holes, the story said, but either way, we still have Taylor as the back to own. We rank Taylor 21st with Mack coming in at 46th. Mack may start out as the main back, but we think the writing is on the wall when it comes to Taylor, who the team traded up to get this past spring.

Colts running back Marlon Mack had hand surgery last week and he’s not going to be ready to return to the lineup this week.

Head coach Frank Reich said on Monday that Mack will not play against the Titans in Week 13. It will be the second game that Mack has missed since suffering the injury in a Week 11 win over the Jaguars.

Looks like Williams and Hines will carry the load again in Week 13. Williams had 26 carries for 104 yards and a TD last week while Hines was a nice change of pace running nine times for 51 yards.

Jordan Wilkins started last week assuming he’d be out. Ankle progressed faster than expected. He said the ankle “feels great” and “I feel like I’ll be ready to go” Thursday.

Mack had hand surgery Monday, but with Wilkins now in the picture the backfield situation is a bit more cloudy. Bremer went on to tweet all three backs will split carries, but at this point it seems like Williams may be a safer play. Hines will continue to be the change of pace back.
