The Indianapolis Colts are deploying running back Seth McGowan in an expanded capacity as trade rumors continue to surround star running back Jonathan Taylor. A photo from the Colts' September 20, 2026 game at Arrowhead Stadium against the Kansas City Chiefs shows quarterback Daniel Jones handing off to McGowan, who wore jersey No. 20, during the second quarter.
The increased usage of McGowan comes as Taylor's long-term future with the franchise remains uncertain. While the Colts have not officially commented on trade discussions, the shift in backfield workload suggests the team may be preparing for multiple scenarios regarding their All-Pro running back.
