Steichen: Taylor is 'on our football team'
Key Points:
- Colts head coach Shane Steichen confirmed Jonathan Taylor remains on the roster and will see a full workload despite active trade rumors involving multiple contending teams, including the Vikings, Bengals, and Seahawks.
- The Colts have been holding out for a high-value offer for Taylor, reportedly turning down a second-round pick plus another selection, with the trade deadline set for November 10; Taylor's future with the team remains uncertain amid a potential rebuild.
- The Bears placed backup defensive tackle Kentavius Street on injured reserve with a knee injury, while the Chiefs' key players Rashee Rice and Travis Kelce were limited in practice but expected to play in Week 9.
- Saints left tackle Kelvin Banks has entered his 21-day practice window following surgery for a severe high-ankle sprain, signaling a potential return soon that would strengthen both the Saints' passing and rushing attacks.
- Several other notable injuries and returns include Cardinals' James Conner likely missing the season due to an ankle injury, Giants' Cam Skattebo day-to-day with a hamstring issue, and 49ers' Demarcus Robinson entering his practice window with a chance to play in Week 9.
