DEON JACKSON
Injures quad Sunday Jackson won't return to Sunday's game against the Jaguars after sustaining a quad injury, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.
Impact Prior to his exit from the contest, Jackson logged 12 carries for 42 yards and a TD and caught all 10 of his targets for 79 yards. With fellow running backs Jonathan Taylor (ankle) and Nyheim Hines (concussion) out Sunday, Jackson led the Colts' Week 6 rushing attack, but now his status will need to be monitored in advance of next weekend's game against the Titans.

Should play more sans Taylor, Hines Jackson is expected to benefit from an expanded workload for the second game in a row with fellow backs Jonathan Taylor (ankle) and Nyheim Hines (concussion) having both been ruled...
Impact When Taylor sat out against Denver and when Hines exited after playing just three snaps, Jackson stepped up to take on the largest workload of his career. He played 44 snaps (60 percent) on offense in the 12-9 overtime win, carrying 13 times for 62 yards while adding four receptions for 29 yards on four targets. Meanwhile, Phillip Lindsay played 36 percent of the snaps in that game and totaled 54 yards from scrimmage on his 14 touches (11 carries, three receptions), and the Colts have elevated Lindsay from the practice squad once again with both Taylor and Hines sitting out. As such, Jackson and Lindsay could again form a timeshare out of the backfield that could make it difficult to depend on either to assume the overwhelming majority of the touches.

Solid with extended opportunity Jackson rushed 13 times for 62 yards and brought in all four targets for 29 yards in the Colts' 12-9 overtime win over the Broncos on Thursday night.
Impact Jackson stepped up with a team-high rushing yardage tally in the absence of Jonathan Taylor (ankle) and also put in impressive work as a receiver. The undrafted second-year back was also the beneficiary of extra opportunity due to Nyheim Hines' early exit from the game with a concussion, and he outproduced veteran backfield mate Phillip Lindsay by 22 rushing yards on only two additional carries. If Taylor is unable to suit up for a Week 6 home divisional rematch with the Jaguars a week from Sunday, Jackson looks like the likeliest candidate to take on the lead early-down role in that contest.

AUGUST 28, 2022 • COLTS.COM
Minimal playing time in 2021 Jackson rushed 13 times for 31 yards and a touchdown across nine appearances in 2021.
Impact Jackson established himself as the Colts' No. 3 running back behind Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines during the second half of the 2021 campaign, but he still played primarily on special teams. While the 22-year-old reached the end zone Week 13, Jackson wasn't a reliable fantasy contributor while serving in a depth role.

First touchdown of career Jackson rushed six times for 19 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 31-0 win over the Texans.
Impact Jackson capped off a nine-play, 40-yard drive with a three-yard touchdown run -- the first of his career -- to extend the Colts' lead to 31-0 late in the fourth quarter. The rookie has only been seen the field in garbage time this year, and the primary handcuffs to Jonathan Taylor likely remain Nyheim Hines and Marlon Mack, so Jackson doesn't warrant much fantasy consideration.

Gets six carries in win Jackson had six carries for 12 yards in Sunday's win at Buffalo.
Impact Jackson played seven snaps on offense as he got some touches amid a blowout win. Jackson is serving as the third running back over Marlon Mack because Jackson plays on special teams. If Jonathan Taylor of Nyheim Hines were to get hurt, it's likely Mack who would be active on game days instead of Jackson.
