Phillip Lindsay News
The Indianapolis Colts signed running back Jake Funk to their practice squad on Thursday and released running back Phillip Lindsay from the practice squad in a corresponding move. In five games for the Los Angeles Rams this year, Funk saw one snap on offense. The former seventh-round pick in 2021 played in 10 games in LA in his rookie season and returned four kicks on special teams. The 24-year-old from Maryland will strictly serve as emergency RB depth for the Colts now. Lindsay saw action in three games for the Colts this year when Jonathan Taylor (ankle) was sidelined, carrying the ball 15 times for 49 yards while catching six of his eight targets for 19 additional yards. He'll look to latch on with a new team to provide RB depth.
With Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) out for Week 9 against the New England Patriots on Sunday, the team elevated running backs Phillip Lindsay and Jordan Wilkins from the practice squad to the active roster on Saturday. The Colts traded Nyheim Hines to the Bills on Tuesday, so they'll need additional depth with Taylor injured. Indy landed Zack Moss from Buffalo as well, but he's unlikely to be up to speed in his debut with the team after just being acquired on Tuesday. Deon Jackson should operate as the lead back against the Pats with Taylor out, but Lindsay did have 14 carries and caught six passes earlier this year in the two games that Taylor missed due to injury.
Indianapolis Colts running back Phillip Lindsay was expected to have a bigger role against the Jacksonville Jaguars last week. Both Jonathan Taylor (ankle) and Nyheim Hines (concussion) were sidelined for that contest. However, Deon Jackson stole the show, so Lindsay was forced to pick up the scraps. Now, Taylor and Hines are getting healthy and expected to suit up against the Tennessee Titans this week. That being said, Lindsay will likely fall down to fourth on the depth chart. He probably won't be involved at all during Sunday's game.
