Athletic: Colts' Taylor not a trade candidate yet

Key Points:

• The Indianapolis Colts are not currently discussing a trade involving star running back Jonathan Taylor, with interim GM Ed Dodds expected to wait a few weeks before making any decisions amid a 2-4 season start and recent firing of GM Chris Ballard.
• If the Colts remain outside the playoff race, trading Taylor could be a way to recoup draft assets, with the New York Giants and Minnesota Vikings mentioned as potential suitors. Taylor recently signed a two-year extension with the Colts through 2028.
• Several NFL teams are adjusting their rosters due to injuries ahead of Week 7, including the Cowboys ruling out KaVontae Turpin, the Falcons activating A.J. Terrell, and the Ravens ruling out Lamar Jackson, who will be replaced by Tyler Huntley for the third consecutive game.
• Eagles wide receivers DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks are ruled out for Week 7, but tight end Dallas Goedert is expected to play, potentially increasing his target share in the absence of the top receivers; Saquon Barkley remains questionable.
• The Vikings plan to activate running back Jordan Mason from injured reserve, which may reduce Aaron Jones’s workload, and the Browns have activated RB Dylan Sampson from injured reserve, likely serving as a change-of-pace back behind Quinshon Judkins.
• There are rumors that the Jacksonville Jaguars could trade wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr., with the Chiefs and Steelers reportedly interested; the Jaguars appear ready to rely on other receivers if Thomas is moved.
