Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) has a chance to play in Thursday night's Week 5 matchup against the Denver Broncos, reports Adam Schefter of ESPN.
The Colts were concerned that Taylor may have suffered a high ankle sprain during Sunday's Week 4 loss to the Tennessee Titans, but according to Schefter, initial tests came back negative. The timing is inconvenient since the Colts are on a short week, so Taylor's status will need to be monitored heading into Thursday. Nyheim Hines and Deon Jackson will split backfield work versus the Broncos if Taylor is unable to suit up.
The Broncos are allowing the sixth-fewest FanDuel points per game to the running back position this season.
