The Jonathan Taylor situation evolved into a saga this week when the Colts were unable to move him before Tuesday’s roster cutdown deadline.<\/p>\n

Taylor ended up on the physically unable to perform list to start the year with the same ankle issue that prevented him from participating in training camp, meaning he will miss at least the first four games of the 2023 season. But this is about more than just an ankle injury. It’s about a frayed relationship between star and club over a potential contract extension.<\/p>\n

Colts general manager Chris Ballard — the frontman for the club — spoke on the matter Wednesday, telling reporters, quite simply, “it sucks.”<\/p>\n

“It sucks for the Colts, it sucks for Jonathan Taylor, and it sucks for our fans,” Ballard admitted bluntly.<\/p>\n
