Head coach Shane Steichen noted Friday that Taylor (ankle) won't play Sunday against the Titans, JJ Stankevitz of the Colts' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Taylor set to miss his second straight contest, Trey Sermon and Tyler Goodson are in line to handle the Colts' backfield duties versus Tennessee on Sunday, with Evan Hull and Trent Pennix candidates to be elevated from the practice squad ahead of Week 6 action. Taylor's next chance to suit up for a game will occur Sunday, Oct. 20 against the Dolphins.

Taylor (ankle) wasn't present at the start of Friday's practice, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, so unless he makes an appearance as the session progresses, his status for Sunday's game against the Titans will remain cloudy. If Taylor is unable to play this weekend, Trey Sermon and Tyler Goodson would be in line to handle the Colts' backfield duties Week 6.

Taylor (ankle) didn't practice Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Per James Boyd of The Athletic, Taylor -- who missed this past Sunday's 37-34 loss to the Jaguars -- is feeling "way better" relative to last week. After having missed back-to-back practices, though, what (if anything) he's able to do Friday will be telling with regard to his chances of suiting up this weekend against the Titans. Meanwhile, top backup Trey Sermon (collarbone) returned to a full practice Thursday.

Meanwhile, Taylor's top backup Trey Sermon (collarbone) didn't practice Wednesday but was present for Thursday's session.

Taylor (ankle) won't practice Wednesday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor, who missed this past Sunday's 37-34 loss to the Jaguars, has two more chances to return to practice ahead of this weekend's game against the Titans. If the running back is forced to miss a second straight game, Trey Sermon and Tyler Goodson would be in line to share backfield duties for the Colts in Week 6.

Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Friday that Taylor (ankle) is ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor will miss at least one contest due to the right ankle sprain he sustained during Indianapolis' win over the Steelers in Week 4. The star running back didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, and he wasn't spotted at the portion of Friday's practice open to the media. Trey Sermon and Tyler Goodson will be positioned to lead the Colts backfield until Taylor is healthy, with his next opportunity to retake the field coming Week 6 on the road against Tennessee.

Taylor (ankle) wasn't spotted during the initial portion of Friday's practice, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor, who is dealing with an ankle sprain, didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, so his apparent absence early on Friday clouds his status for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. The Colts' upcoming injury report is slated to confirm both Taylor's official participation level Friday as well as his Week 5 game status.

Taylor (ankle) didn't practice Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor, who has missed two straight practices, noted Thursday that he's taking it "day by day" as Sunday's game against the Jaguars approaches, James Boyd of The Athletic reports. The running back now has one more chance to practice before the Colts issue their final Week 5 injury report, but if Taylor is limited or out this weekend, Trey Sermon and Tyler Goodson are next up for backfield work.

Taylor, who continues to deal with an ankle sprain, isn't likely to practice Thursday, Stephen Holder of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Colts' upcoming injury report will reveal whether Taylor-- who also didn't practice Wednesday -- indeed is deemed a non-participant for the second day in a row. If that ends up being the case, he'll have one more opportunity to practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Per Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star, Taylor relayed Thursday that his current ankle issue is not as severe as the one that he contended with during the 2022 season.

Colts head coach Shane Steichen said that Taylor (ankle) won't practice Wednesday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor thus has two more chances to return to practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars, but for now, his Week 5 status is cloudy. If he's unavailable this weekend, Trey Sermon and Tyler Goodson are next up for snaps out of the backfield, with Evan Hull and Trent Pennix being candidates to be elevated from the practice squad.
