Colts, Titans Injury Report: Jonathan Taylor, Nyheim Hines are Back The Colts will have top running backs Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines on the field against the Titans on Sunday.

OCTOBER 21, 2022 • CHARLOTTEOBSERVER.COM

Set to play in Week 7 Hines doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Titans.

Impact This development was expected after Hines cleared the concussion protocol. Hines suffered the concussion Week 5 but practiced fully in all three of the Colts' practices this week after sitting out Week 6. Fellow running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) also has been cleared to return this weekend.

Clears concussion protocol Hines has cleared the NFL's concussion protocol, per coach Frank Reich, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Impact Hines has cleared the final hurdle standing between him and suiting up Week 7 against the Titans after sitting out the Colts' previous game. Reich expressed optimism that both Hines and Jonathan Taylor (ankle) will return from their respective injuries Sunday, which would leave Hines in his usual change-of-pace role while potentially knocking Deon Jackson (quadriceps) out of the game plan on offense.

Another full practice Hines (concussion) was listed as a full practice participant Thursday.

Impact The same applies to Jonathan Taylor (ankle) and Deon Jackson (quadriceps), suggesting that the Colts are trending toward having their top three backs available Sunday against the Titans. Friday's final injury report should confirm whether or not Hines has fully cleared the NFL's concussion protocol and if he has, he'll be in line to head into the weekend minus a Week 7 injury designation.

Another full practice Hines (concussion) practiced fully Wednesday.

Impact Hines was also listed as a full participant this past Friday before being ruled out ahead of the Colts' game against the Jaguars on Sunday. Barring any setbacks, Hines is on track to suit up this weekend against the Titans, though how heavy a workload he might take on hinges in part on the status of Jonathan Taylor (ankle), who was limited at practice Wednesday. Meanwhile, No. 3 back Deon Jackson (quadriceps) -- who led the Colts' Week 6 rushing attack in the absence of Taylor and Hines -- logged a full session.

At practice Wednesday Hines (concussion) was present for Wednesday's practice, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Impact As were Jonathan Taylor (ankle) and Deon Jackson (quad), which suggests that the Colts -- who were minus both Taylor and Hines in Week 6 -- could possible have their top three backs available this Sunday against the Titans.

Not playing Sunday Hines (concussion) was downgraded to out Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Impact Hines was able to ditch the red jersey during Friday's practice, but the multi-faceted back ultimately was unable to clear the fifth and final stage of the league's concussion protocol. Jonathan Taylor (ankle) was also ruled out ahead of Sunday's contest meaning Deon Jackson is likely set to start, with practice squad call-ups Phillip Lindsay and D'Vonte Price possibly contributing as well.

OCTOBER 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Deemed questionable for Week 6 Hines (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars after he was a full participant in practice Friday.

Impact Per James Boyd of The Athletic, Hines ditched the red jersey he donned for the Colts' first two practices of Week 6 to take contact in Friday's session. Though Hines appears to have reached the fifth stage of the concussion protocol, head coach Frank Reich told Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis that the running back still has one more step to clear, which is presumably getting the green light to play from an independent neurologist. If Hines is cleared ahead of Sunday's game, he could get another crack at an expanded role out of the backfield. After missing the Week 5 win over the Broncos, top back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) managed only two limited practices this week and is also being listed as questionable for Sunday.

OCTOBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Still limited at practice Hines (concussion) remained limited at practice Thursday.

Impact Per Zak Keefer of The Athletic, Hines continued to practice in a red non-contact jersey Thursday, suggesting that the running back has yet to fully clear the NFL's concussion protocols. Friday's injury report will reveal whether Hines and/or top back Jonathan Taylor (ankle, limited) approach Sunday's game against the Jaguars with injury designations or cleared for Week 6 action.

OCTOBER 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Practices in non-contact jersey Hines (concussion) practiced in a red non-contact jersey Wednesday, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin reports.

Impact Hines will need to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in order to suit up Sunday against the Jaguars. His Week 6 availability is of more interest than usual, given the uncertain status of top back Jonathan Taylor (ankle). Taylor was inactive for the Week 5 win over the Broncos and wasn't spotted practicing Wednesday.

Ruled out with concussion Hines has been ruled out for the rest of Thursday's game against the Broncos due to a concussion, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact Hines sustained the injury on the Colts' opening drive of the game and was immediately taken to the locker room to be evaluated for a concussion. He will need to clear league protocols prior to returning to action, which could occur for a Week 6 matchup against Jacksonville. Deon Jackson and Phillip Lindsay will take over the work in the backfield.

Being evaluated for concussion Hines exited Thursday's game against the Broncos to be evaluated for a concussion and is questionable to return, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Hines made a catch out of the backfield on the Colts' opening drive and had trouble regaining his footing. He was spotted going into the locker room to be evaluated for a head injury so his status for the remainder of Thursday's game is in question. Deon Jackson and Phillip Lindsay should see additional run so long as Hines remains sidelined.
