The Facts: Taylor has left Indianapolis Colts training camp to continue rehabbing his ankle injury off-site, a source told ESPN on Tuesday. The source told ESPN that the Colts were previously made aware of Taylor's plans to continue his rehab away from the team and that his absence is expected to last several days.

Diehards Line: Taylor, who has been in a standoff with the Colts over his lack of a contract extension, was not in attendance at Tuesday's practice even though injured players are customarily expected to be on the field for each workout. Coach Shane Steichen said Taylor was absent as "part of his rehab process. If you don't see him out here, it's part of his rehab." Taylor has been on the physically unable to perform list since reporting to training camp on July 27. The team attributed the decision to his offseason ankle surgery, but a source later added that Taylor also complained of back and hamstring tightness. Taylor has denied any issue with his back. Taylor, according to multiple sources, continues to hold out hope that the team will reconsider his trade request. He has one season remaining on his rookie contract and is scheduled to hit free agency next spring.
