Jonathan Taylor is back. On the practice field, at least. The Indianapolis Colts running back is scheduled to return to practice Wednesday, the first time he'll be back on the practice field since he suffered a right high ankle sprain late in the team's win over the Steelers.

Indianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor will return to practice on Wednesday ahead of the team’s Week 8 matchup with Houston.

Taylor went on injured reserve with his high ankle sprain in 2022, though only after he played through it and reinjured it late in the season. He said that experience, plus starting last season on the Physically Unable to Perform List while in a contract dispute with the team, weighed into the decision of whether to go to injured reserve this year.
