With training camp drawing closer, we will be highlighting the one big question that faces each Indianapolis Colts' position group.
Up next are the running backs. While we could focus on the battle for RB2, our attention will instead be on Jonathan Taylor and how Daniel Jones' return could provide the run game with a jolt.
A big part of the Colts' red-hot start to the season in 2025 was the play of Taylor. As ESPN's Ben Solak noted recently, through 10 games, Taylor had rushed for 1,139 yards -- or 114 yards per game -- and he was on pace for nearly 2,000 yards. He also rushed for 15 touchdowns.
But during the two games that Jones played with a fibula injury and then after his season ended with the Achilles injury, the Colts' run game didn't have the same juice.
From Weeks 12 through 18, Taylor didn't eclipse the 100-yard mark once. He also averaged below 4.0 yards per carry in six of those seven games, per PFF.
