Colts' Jonathan Taylor to Undergo Thumb Surgery, Expected to Return in 2-3 Weeks

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

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.
Zack Moss, who ranks 10th in the NFL with 672 rushing yards on 141 carries with five TDs, will likely be relied on in Taylor's absence.
Taylor's injury comes as he is rounding into superstar form, having recently signed a three-year $42 million extension with $26.5 million guaranteed.
