The Indianapolis Colts will be without two running backs for Sunday's important game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Taylor will miss his second game in a row with an ankle injury. In his first two seasons, he only missed one game because he was considered a close contact during the COVID-19 epidemic.
The concussion protocol was put in place after he fell off the field in the Denver game.
After Indy promoted Lindsay from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Deon Jackson and Phillip Lindsay likely will carry the load again.
Consistency in performance is what we want. Frank Reich said Friday that Deon could provide that if necessary. Deon took a big step against Denver. He did not surprise us. I believe he has that in him.
Reich said Friday that Leonard would be out after having surgery on his broken nose. Leonard suffered a concussion when he ran into his teammate's face mask while making his season debut.
The Colts have lost four of six to the Jags, including a 24-0 loss in Week 2. The Colts have a half-game lead over Tennessee in the division race, but are winless against their rivals from the south.
