Jonathan Taylor Drug Test
The star running back looked like himself again playing at an MVP-caliber level. Taylor running the ball had 75 yards on 18 carries and had three receptions and a touchdown. The Colts ultimately lost the game 39-38 in a controversial ending. Taylor after the game said that he was drug-tested by the league and posted this update on Twitter.

This is not the first time the league has randomly drug-tested a player after having an explosive performance in a game, although some say that it’s surprising when they do it to an already proven great player like Taylor. It looks like he took it lightly, though, which ends any speculation that he may have been on something other than pure adrenaline on Sunday.
Jonathan Taylor Comeback
The star running back earned himself a huge payday from the team a couple of weeks ago, which put an end to his holdout from the team and wanting to seek a trade. He is now tasked with being the leader of this offense and helping out quarterback Gardner Minshew with the offense. Taylor will look to have another all-pro and MVP type of season in 2023.
