Jonathan Taylor has to miss at least one more week while on the physically unable to perform list, but it wouldn't surprise ESPN insider Dan Graziano if his first game of the season was in a different uniform.

Graziano wrote: "From what I understand, [Taylor] still doesn't want to play for the Colts, and they still don't want to give him a long-term contract. The time since the preseason has mellowed out the market a bit and maybe created more fertile ground for a deal."

The Browns might end up being more motivated to make a deal than they want us to believe after the Nick Chubb injury.

For what it's worth, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler thinks Taylor will remain a Colt.

For as much as Taylor would like to be dealt, Fowler doesn't see a team that's clamoring to give up a Day 2 pick for a running back.

"Just look at the Colts," Fowler argued, "who are 2-1 with Zack Moss as their leading back. Taylor is much better, of course, and has value. And maybe he's the player to unlock a contender; Cleveland does make some sense, and Browns GM Andrew Berry never shies away from a potential deal.

"But Jerome Ford and Kareem Hunt is a pretty good tandem. Plus, Miami -- a Taylor suitor in the preseason -- is running wild with Raheem Mostert and De'Von Achane."

It's a situation we'll continue to watch closely as Oct. 31 trade deadline draws nearer.
