For the first time since June, Colts running back Jonathan Taylor spoke to the media this Thursday.
Taylor provided an update on his health. It sounds like the All-Pro has made a nice recovery from a lingering ankle injury.
“It feels really good to be healthy,” Taylor told reporters. “The main goal was to be healthy and play football.”
NFL fans had various reactions to this comment from Taylor. For the most part though, the consensus is that he’ll return to the Colts’ starting lineup in the coming weeks.

Taylor started the 2023 season on the physically unable to perform list. His 21-day practice window officially opened up this Wednesday.
The Colts would love to have Taylor at their disposal, especially since he could form a nice rushing attack with rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson.
