Jonathan Taylor says he’s ‘grateful’ for time in Indy after what could be his last game with Colts

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor expressed gratitude for his time in Indianapolis after what could be his final game at Lucas Oil Stadium. After a 27-23 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, the 2021 NFL rushing champion acknowledged that his six seasons in the city might be ending. The NFL trade deadline is Tuesday, and it's possible the Colts could move Taylor, quarterback Daniel Jones, or both.

Taylor acknowledged that every game feels like his last, but he particularly embraced the city and people of Indianapolis, where he grew up. The Colts emerged from the game with a 23-20 lead, but the Cowboys answered with a touchdown run, sealing the fifth straight loss for Indianapolis. Taylor had a disappointing performance, rushing for 46 yards and five receptions for 18 yards, while not finding the end zone.

The Colts have traded away multiple players to clear salary cap space for 2027, but Taylor has remained focused on the present. Quarterback Daniel Jones also faced a tough game, struggling with turnovers and ultimately being benched. Receiver Josh Downs requested a trade last week, but Taylor and Jones seem content to stay with the team.
