It pushes you and it puts you in tough positions mentally and you&#8217;ve got to have a good support system.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>          <span>            Related Links          <\/span>        <\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>              Colts QB Anthony Richardson suffers Grade 3 AC joint sprain, to miss one month or more&#xA0;            <\/li>\n<li>              NFL stats and records, Week 5: Dolphins continue to light up scoreboard, climb record books&#xA0;            <\/li>\n<li>              2023 NFL season, Week 5: What We Learned from Sunday&#x27;s games            <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>After getting cleared to return to practice last week, Taylor returned to the lineup Sunday. He played just 10 snaps in his return, generating six carries for 18 yards and catching one pass for 16 yards. It marked Taylor&#8217;s first game played in 295 days (last game: Week 15, 2022 at MIN).<\/p>\n<p>Fellow running back Zack Moss spearheaded the divisional win, rushing for a career-high 165 yards and two touchdowns. Moss&#8217; 195 scrimmage yards were the most by a Colts player since Taylor&#8217;s 204 in Week 11, 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Taylor thinks he and Moss can combine for a dangerous duo.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think it can get really scary,&#8221; he said. &#8220;You guys have been getting a taste the past few weeks. So now it&#8217;s on me in order to continue to do my part and continue to help this team.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>With rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson expected to miss at least a month, the Colts will likely lean heavily on the Taylor-Moss backfield moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/news\/colts-jonathan-taylor-returns-injury-extension-notices-shift-rb-market\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>With a new multi-year contract in hand, Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor was on the field in the 23-16 Week 5 win over the <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/sportstoft.com\/nfl\/colts-jonathan-taylor-returns-to-game-action-after-injury-extension-notices-shift-in-rb-market\/\" title=\"Colts&#x27;
