As a devoted fan who has witnessed the Colts’ rollercoaster journey over the years, I can’t help but feel a mix of emotions watching Jonathan Taylor yet again deal with an injury. The man is a beast on the field, and his resilience is unparalleled. But, his history with ankle injuries is as long as my arm!
The Indianapolis Colts are climbing higher in the AFC South Division, securing their second consecutive win following a two-game losing streak. Under Shane Steichen’s leadership, they clinched their fourth league victory against the Chicago Bears and added another close win against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. However, their ascent has come with a cost: Jonathan Taylor suffered an injury. But let’s explore what transpired with this NFL player.
Here’s the lowdown on the running back’s recent injury, along with an approximation of when he might be back.
How did Jonathan Taylor get injured playing football?
Jonathan Taylor sustained an ankle injury during his side’s 27-24 win over the Steelers.
With just over 8 minutes left, Taylor made a 1-yard dash to support his team. Unfortunately, during play, the 25-year-old football player injured his ankle. Despite his condition looking worrisome, Taylor tried to come back onto the field with his ankle wrapped up. However, the Colts chose not to risk his long-term health by keeping him off the field. According to Joel Erickson from the Indianapolis Star, the running back spoke about his injured state, saying he felt “quite good.
It’s worth noting that Jonathan Taylor has a significant past of ankle issues. In 2022, he suffered a sprain in his ankle, which later turned out to be a recurring injury. This setback led to surgery for him, unfortunately resulting in his 2023 season being impacted negatively.
When will Jonathan Taylor return to play NFL?
As of now, the severity of Jonathan Taylor’s injury hasn’t been fully determined yet. But according to Ian Rapoport from NFL Media, it appears to be a relatively minor sprain. (as reported by NBC Sports)
Coach Steichen has verified that Taylor indeed suffered an ankle sprain, but hasn’t given a specific timeframe for his recovery yet. Based on Rapoport’s evaluation and Taylor’s assurance about his health, this injury might just turn out to be a minor scare. However, until Taylor undergoes the scheduled medical tests, it’s too early to predict anything with certainty.
In the upcoming games during the current NFL season, the Indianapolis Colts will take on the Jacksonville Jaguars for their sixth contest.
