The Indianapolis Colts could potentially get a huge piece of their offense back this week. 

Colts coach Shane Steichen said on Monday that running back Jonathan Taylor will will practice on Wednesday. It will be his first practice session since last December. Steichen then added that Taylor is “excited to be back.” After he returns to practice, the Colts will have 21 days to return him to the active roster. Steichen did not rule out Taylor playing as soon as this week against the Titans.

Taylor, who opened the season on the Physically Unable to Perform list, has yet to participate in any Colts activities since the offseason due to an ankle injury and a contract dispute. The team reportedly tried to trade him before the season, but was unable to find an agreeable deal and then placed him on the PUP list. 

While Taylor is set to practice, there’s no new news on the trade front, according to NFL Media, as there have been no recent trade talks between the Colts and other teams.
