Two Colts Running Backs Will Play In Week 7

The Indianapolis Colts have seemingly picked up momentum in recent weeks, and with a 3-2-1 record in hand, it looks like they are ready to make a genuine run at the AFC South division title, and in Week 7, ahead of a blockbuster clash with the division rival Tennessee Titans, they've got two huge boosts to this talented offence.

Both Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines appear to have recovered from their respective injuries, and just two days out from the game, neither have been given a game designation, signalling that they'll return to action this week. The Colts got an amazing performance out of third string back Deion Jackson in Week 6 in order to take down the Jacksonville Jaguars, giving them yet another weapon if injury strikes again, and if Taylor can get back to his 2021 form, this could be a very dangerous team.

Hines on the other hand is clearly the backup for this team, but seeing that he got through the concussion protocol this week is a massive positive, and if he stay healthy, he can be one of the best No. 2 running backs in the league. This team is built to win, and getting healthy on the offensive side of the ball is good, and if they can do the same on the defensive side of the ball, we may see a dark horse for the Super Bowl in Indianapolis.
