What happened: The Indianapolis Colts remain hesitant to part with running back Jonathan Taylor ahead of the NFL trade deadline, per Josina Anderson. Indianapolis previously placed Taylor on transaction watch in late October amid league-wide interest. The organization continues to hold onto the star running back rather than engage in trade discussions.

Why it matters: Indianapolis sits at 2-6 and 13th in the AFC following four consecutive defeats, including a 42-7 loss to Jacksonville. Despite the slump, Taylor remains under contract following an extension and anchors the offense. Parting with the former All-Pro would signal a major roster teardown that leadership has resisted.

By the numbers: Taylor has recorded 148 carries for 610 yards and 8 touchdowns in 2026 through 8 games. Indianapolis is 2-6 on the season and has dropped four straight contests.

What to watch: Front offices will watch whether any suitor makes an overwhelming proposal before the Nov. 10 trade deadline. In the meantime, Taylor remains in line to start for Indianapolis.
