The Facts: Sources tell NFL Network's Ian Rapoport that Taylor is healthy and likely would be able to pass a physical today if one was required. That indicates he would be able to come off the PUP list as soon as is allowed.
Diehards Line:
In addition, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Taylor is planning to be ready to play as early as Week 5, when he is eligible to come off the PUP list. The Colts placed Taylor on PUP on Aug. 29 as he continued to recover from an ankle injury that required offseason surgery. ... When Taylor requested and received permission to seek a trade in August, the Dolphins and Packers were the two main potential landing spots. We shouldn't be surprised if Miami is still an option, sources tell Rapoport. There is also the chance -- slim, but possible -- that Taylor returns to play for Indy. That would likely require a contract extension -- which the Colts have not yet been willing to offer. In the meantime, Taylor is training hard and as one source explained to Rapoport, the waters are calming down. In other words, all sides now have four weeks to come to a mutually beneficial conclusion to end a summer-long drama.
