Colts' Taylor to return against Texans

The Indianapolis Colts will have running back Jonathan Taylor back in the lineup against the Houston Texans on Sunday.

Taylor hasn't played since hurting his ankle in the Colts' Week 4 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. He returned to practice this week after missing three games.

Taylor didn't have a designation on the final injury report ahead of Sunday's contest.

The star tailback has rushed for 349 yards, averaging 4.85 yards per carry, to go along with four touchdowns this season.

Indianapolis could get more good news ahead of their Week 8 matchup: The Colts listed defensive tackle DeForest Buckner as questionable with an ankle issue. Buckner's 21-day practice window opened earlier this week and Indianapolis would need to activate him from injured reserve before he could rejoin the team.

Head coach Shane Steichen said both Taylor and Buckner are "tracking very well," according to team reporter JJ Stankevitz.
