The Pro Bowl running back's absence could significantly impact the Colts' postseason chances, with backup Zack Moss expected to step up.

Overview

  • Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor will undergo thumb surgery with a possible return in 2-3 weeks.
  • Taylor sustained the injury during the Colts’ win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, finishing with 15 carries for 91 yards and a season-high two touchdowns.
  • Taylor's absence could significantly impact the Colts’ chance to remain in the postseason picture, as they currently hold the last AFC playoff spot at 6-5.
