INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis Colts' running back problems are growing.
Zack Moss, the man running with the starters in Jonathan Taylor's absence, is now out with a broken arm.
The 25-year-old left practice Monday holding his right wrist/arm area.
It was confirmed that Moss broke his arm and is on a six-week timeline to get back on the field.
It comes as running back Jonathan Taylor has requested a trade. Taylor, the 2021 NFL rushing champ, has been seeking a contract extension before his rookie contract expires at the end of this season, and he's been one of several running backs to publicly air their grievances throughout the offseason.
Colts rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson missed Monday’s practice and could sit out again Tuesday after undergoing nose surgery.
Before practice, team officials announced the former Florida star had a procedure to correct his nasal septum. Richardson was the fourth overall pick in April’s NFL draft.
Indy was expected to hold its first practice in full pads Monday. But Richardson, who started only one full season with his home state Gators, was not available.
It’s unclear whether Richardson could miss even more time than this week’s first two workouts.
