The Indianapolis Colts have had an eventful start to their 2023 season. Before the season started, reports surfaced that Jonathan Taylor was so unhappy with his contract that he would either sit out or wanted a trade. He ended up spending the first four weeks of the season on Injured Reserve (IR).
Rookie Quarterback Anthony Richardson has been a breath of fresh air for the franchise as he has shown he may have what it takes to be a franchise quarterback. It is still much too early to tell, however, early returns are positive. Now reports have surfaced that the Colts have lost a running back for the remainder of the 2023 season.
Indianapolis Colts Lose Running Back Evan Hull For Entire 2023 Season
An injured meniscus is preventing rookie running back Evan Hull from playing the rest of the season, according to NFL Insider Jordan Shultz.
In Week 1, Hull suffered a knee injury that put him on injured reserve. Jake Funk was signed to the active roster and guard Ike Boettger was signed to the practice squad as a result of that move.
According to Schultz’s report, Colts fans had hope that Hull will return before the 2023 season was over.
During the 2023 NFL draft, Indianapolis selected Hull in the fifth round at No. 176 overall. He impressed the Colts during offseason workouts, as Schultz indicated. The team still hopes to have him on board in the future, despite the injury.
Injuries have plagued the Colts’ backfield this season. Jonathan Taylor, the 2021 All-Pro running back, began the season on the PUP list due to an ankle injury. A forearm injury also sidelined backup running back Zack Moss in Week 1.
This latest news only makes their running back room that much thinner. It will be interesting to see if the Colts attempt to appease Taylor’s request for a large contract or utilize free agency to fill the void.
