Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor's availability for today's game against the Dallas Cowboys remains a key storyline heading into the Week 9 matchup. The All-Pro rusher has been managing an ankle injury that limited his practice participation earlier in the week.
Taylor, who leads the Colts' backfield with 614 rushing yards and five touchdowns through eight games, was listed as questionable on the final injury report. His potential absence would significantly alter Indianapolis' offensive approach against a Dallas defense allowing 118.4 rushing yards per game.
Backup Zack Moss would likely see an increased workload if Taylor cannot play, while rookie Tyler Goodson could be elevated from the practice squad for depth. The Colts enter the game at 4-4, while the Cowboys sit at 3-5 in a competitive NFC East.
Kickoff is scheduled for 1:00 PM ET at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Official inactive lists are typically released 90 minutes before game time.
