The 24-year-old was placed on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list at the end of August, and league rules mandate that players on this list must sit out the first four games of the season.
The 2021 First Team All-Pro received a warm and supportive welcome from his teammates as he rejoined them for the first time in several months.
During the summer, Taylor became embroiled in a contract dispute with the Colts' front office when they could not agree on a contract extension.
The former standout from Wisconsin expressed a desire for a trade out of Indianapolis, but the team was resolute in their intention to retain him. Eventually, the Colts permitted Taylor to explore potential trade destinations, but the team could not find a suitable deal that met their criteria.
Will Jonathan Taylor play vs. the Titans?
With their fifth game of the season set on Sunday, October 8, against the Tennessee Titans, Colts head coach Shane Steichen confirmed the possibility of a season debut for Jonathan Taylor.
However, he did not explicitly confirm whether Taylor would play in the upcoming game.
"We'll see. We'll see how practice goes," the 38-year-old said.
