Who Should I Start? Jonathan Taylor or Breece Hall

Sunday, September 10, 8:29 AM

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) is healthy enough to pass a physical to return from the PUP list today, per NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. However, due to the terms of the PUP list, Taylor can't be activated until after Week 4, giving the Colts four weeks to evaluate their options. Rapoport notes that trading Taylor remains a very real outcome, and he added that the Dolphins represent a possible landing spot. He also writes that there is "a chance slim, but possible" that Taylor returns to play for Indianapolis. The entire situation is worth monitoring as the 2023 season gets underway on Sunday. For the time being, the Colts will operate with a backfield featuring Deon Jackson, Evan Hull, and Zack Moss (arm).

New York Jets running back Breece Hall (knee) continued to be limited at practice on Wednesday. This trend of limited practices could continue for the foreseeable future as the Jets slowly ease the talented RB back from an ACL tear that he suffered in his rookie season in 2022. The 22-year-old looked explosive on 31% of the offensive snaps in the season opener, and he slightly increased his work by playing 34% of the snaps in the Week 2 loss to the Dallas Cowboys compared to Dalvin Cook's 36%. However, after seeing 11 touches in Week 1, Hall had just four last Sunday against a dominating Cowboys defense. The Jets offense could struggle for consistency under quarterback Zach Wilson all year, but Hall and Cook should have more opportunities in Week 3 against the division-rival New England Patriots.
