A healthy Jonathan Taylor explained Thursday how happy he is to be practicing again with the Indianapolis Colts. He wouldn’t talk about the ugly contract dispute that popped up while he was out. In his first public comments since June, the All-Pro running back and 2021 NFL rushing champion stood at the podium, smiled and mostly sidestepped questions about his relationship with the Colts and his future with the team. Instead, he's focused on practicing the next two days to find out if he can play Sunday against AFC South rival Tennessee.

Irsay met with Taylor for one hour on his bus during a training camp practice with a capacity crowd. Taylor made a subsequent trade request and finally the Colts gave Taylor permission to find a trade partner.The former Wisconsin Badgers star wouldn’t discuss any of those things.
“I fully expect it,” Titans defensive coordinator Shane Bowen said when asked about Taylor playing. “If he doesn’t, he doesn’t. But elite back in this league. If he’s available, I imagine he’s going to play.” “J.T., he’s a great, great teammate,” two-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle DeForest Buckner said. “He cares about all the guys and everybody, and I know he’s excited to be back and the guys are excited to see him. He’s a big-time playmaker an offense.”
