The Indianapolis Colts are traveling to what might be their own personal hell in Jacksonville this weekend.
If you’re a Colts fan, you know the story all too well. It’s been a decade since the last time Indianapolis picked up a victory in Duvall. Much like their inability to win a season-opener, it’s a confounding streak, and with each passing day and injury report it seems less and less likely the Colts will break that streak this Sunday.
Jacksonville is 0-4 and are on the cusp of entering free fall. The Colts however are dealing with a multitude of injuries, including to their best offensive and defensive players in Jonathan Taylor and DeForest Buckner. Buckner has been on IR since Week 2 with an ankle injury and will not play against the Jaguars. Taylor has a mild high ankle sprain, and has not practiced this week up to this point.
While it does seem likely that Anthony Richardson will play on Sunday, Taylor is increasingly looking doubtful. Without their offensive engine, and with all of the injuries on the defensive side of the ball, it could be another rough trip down to Florida for the Colts.
