Your daily Colts injury update is back for another installment, this time with a look at a banged-up backfield. Jonathan Taylor has missed each of the past two games for the Colts and has yet to take the practice field in any capacity since Week 4 with his high ankle sprain. It seems as though that sprain is likely to keep him off the field once again in Week 7, as he’s opened the week with two straight DNPs on the injury report and said that he’s ‘not sure’ if he’s going to practice this week. At this point, it would be a surprise to see Taylor take the field this weekend. As for his immediate replacement, Trey Sermon filled that role in Week 5 but lost ground to Tyler Goodson last week for the lead role. Sermon himself has been dealing with a knee injury early this week, and he was a DNP on Wednesday before getting a limited session in yesterday. Another limited session on Friday wouldn’t move the needle too far in favor of him suiting up this weekend, though it’s a possibility as long as he is taking the field. Regardless, it sounds like Sermon could be limited or miss the game entirely this weekend, which would make Goodson the preferred start in a very solid matchup against the Dolphins. He’d profile as a low-RB2 should Sermon miss.
