MILWAUKEE - The Green Bay Packers expressed "legitimate interest" in trading for disgruntled Indianapolis Colts star and former Wisconsin Badgers standout Jonathan Taylor, according to an ESPN report Wednesday.
The Colts had a self-imposed Tuesday deadline to move Taylor, who requested a trade last month, the report said. For now, he has been placed on Indianapolis' physically unable to perform list, which means he will miss the first four games of the season.
The Packers' initial 53-man roster, announced Tuesday, included three running backs: Aaron Jones, AJ Dillon and undrafted rookie Emanuel Wilson.
