With Anthony Richardson and starters sitting, Saturday's most notable moment might have been the owner's comments about his running back.
“We’re excited to have Jonathan Taylor back,” Irsay said.
Indianapolis head coach Shane Steichen, following his team’s 24-17 victory over the Bears, said Taylor would return to the team Sunday, but he does not know whether the star running back will participate in the Colts’ joint practice with theTaylor, who has not spoken to the media since June, has given no public indication that he’s rescinded his trade request.
The timing Irsay is referring to is presumably Taylor’s desire to land a contract extension before his rookie contract expires. Taylor has one year left on his deal and is set to make $4.3 million in 2023, but Irsay — even after a face-to-face meeting with Taylor on Irsay’s luxury bus during training camp three weeks ago — has refused to offer Taylor an extension.Irsay’s stance, at least publicly, did not change Saturday.
The 24-year-old was the 2021 rushing champ and set franchise records with 1,811 rushing yards and 18 rushing touchdowns. He was the Colts’ first first-team All-Pro running back since Hall of Famer Edgerrin James received the honor as a rookie in 1999. However, Taylor missed six games last year due to a nagging right ankle injury and rushed for career lows of 861 yards and four touchdowns, which could have made Indianapolis hesitant to give him a big payday.
