Overview
- The NFL announced the one‑game suspension on Friday, Aug. 7, for a violation of the league’s personal conduct policy.
- Taylor‑Britt will be barred from the Colts’ Sept. 13 season opener versus the Baltimore Ravens and will be eligible to return for Week 2 at Kansas City.
- The league allows him to practice and play in preseason games, but he cannot be with the team during the Week 1 regular‑season window.
- Taylor‑Britt was a 2022 second‑round pick who had strong 2023–24 seasons, suffered a 2025 Lisfranc injury, and signed a one‑year deal with Indianapolis this March to reunite with defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo.
- Indianapolis expects him to compete for depth behind starters Sauce Gardner and Charvarius Ward, and his absence for Week 1 slightly increases pressure on the Colts’ cornerback rotation early in the season.
