The Indianapolis Colts anticipate that wide receiver Josh Downs and running back Jonathan Taylor will both be available for their upcoming game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to a report from the Indianapolis Star. The expectation comes amid ongoing trade rumors surrounding both players.
Nathan Brown reported Friday that despite speculation about potential moves involving the two offensive contributors, the team plans to have them on the field for the matchup. The Colts have not publicly addressed the trade rumors in detail, but the decision to prepare both players for game action suggests they remain part of the immediate game plan.
Downs, a second-year receiver, and Taylor, a former All-Pro running back, have been key components of Indianapolis' offense. Their status had been a topic of discussion leading up to the divisional contest against the Jaguars.
