Colts’ RB Jonathan Taylor, who missed last week’s game due to an ankle injury, was spotted today participating in practice.

Good sign for Taylor he's possibly trending in the right direction for Week 10. Taylor should be in lineups if he plays, but the Colts offense is a mess with a new head coach and a new playcaller.

Jeff Saturday says Sam Ehlinger will remain the Colts' starting quarterback.

Based on Pelissero's tweets, it sounds like the QB situation could be at the bottom of Saturday's problems. Pelissero said Saturday was shocked to be offered the job because of having no experience. Saturday still has to find someone on his staff to call the plays for this week's game and going forward, and those interviews are ongoing. It seems to be a given Ryan won't be back under center based on his contract, and Foles is the current backup. At least from a fantasy angle, Ehlinger has been terrible to this point and the entire offense hasn't been much better as a result.

Per Keefer, no Jonathan Taylor at the start of the Colts’ final practice of the week. Doubt he plays Sunday.

Considering the Colts traded away Nyheim Hines this last week, it could be rough finding a fantasy replacement in Indianapolis if Taylor is a no-go for Sunday. The team could call up Phillip Lindsay from the practice squad since neither Deon Jackson nor newly acquired Zack Moss is known for their passing-game chops.

No Jonathan Taylor at Colts practice for the second straight day.

Colts’ RB Jonathan Taylor will not practice today due to an ankle injury.

Taylor injured his ankle again in Week 8 and it looks like he'll be a question mark heading into Week 9. If Taylor can't go, Jackson could be in store for a big workload, now that Nyheim Hines is out of the picture. Lindsay and Wilkins could also factor in but Jackson played well last time Taylor was out.

The Bills landed Nyheim Hines from the Indianapolis Colts for Zack Moss and a draft pick.

Moss has 17 carries for 91 yards in 2022 but wasn't getting a lot of time as of late behind Devin Singletary and James Cook. Moss will likely remain behind Taylor and Jackson in the RB pecking order in Indy at this point.

And another! Colts are trading Nyheim Hines to the Buffalo Bills, sources tell ESPN.

The Bills are adding one of the top pass catching backs to their offense. Hines signed a three-year deal last season so the Bills will have him under control for two more years. It's potentially bad news for Cook owners hoping to see an increase in touches after the Bills bye week. Singletary averaged 10 carries a game and three receptions a game, but Hines will surely cut into that production. Hines was averaging about 3.5 catches a game for the Colts. In Indy, Jackson should move up to the RB2 slot behind Taylor.

The Indianapolis Colts on Tuesday announced they have fired offensive coordinator Marcus Brady.

"This was an incredibly hard decision, but one I felt needed to be made in the best interest of the team," Colts head coach Frank Reich said in a statement. "I appreciate Marcus's commitment to the organization, and he made a significant contribution to our offensive success over the last five seasons. I wish him the best moving forward."

The Colts' offense has scored 17 or fewer points in five of their eight games this season. Indy (3-4-1) has also scored one touchdown or less in a game on four occasions this season, the story went on to say. Of course, the team just made a quarterback switch from Matt Ryan to Ehlinger last week.
