Jonathan Taylor's absence looms large as Colts' run game struggles

INDIANAPOLIS – While the Indianapolis Colts' running backs were averaging a mere 1.6 yards on 16 carries Sunday, the team's best running back was not even on the premises.

Jonathan Taylor, who remains on the physically unable to perform list and continues to hold out hope of being traded, was not in attendance at Lucas Oil Stadium for the season-opening loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

That’s a continuation of how things have played out the past couple of weeks, when Taylor’s time around the team has been minimized, according to sources, at the request of the team.
