On Sunday, a rumor swept through social media that Jonathan Taylor reportedly complained of a back injury when he arrived at Colts training camp. Several sources even reported ESPN that Indianapolis was considering placing Taylor on the non-football injured list, allowing them to waive the talented No. 28 for the 2023-24 season.
Without delay, the 24-year-old American denied the information on his account Twitter.
1.) Never had a back pain.
2.) Never reported back pain.
Not sure who “sources” are, but find new ones ????

“I’ve never had back pain. I have never reported back pain. I don’t know who your ‘sources’ are, but find some better ones,” he tweeted.
The 24-year-old Taylor missed a few games last season, finishing the campaign with 11 games to his name. He had 861 yards.
These echoes follow what Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Saturday that the running back asked to be traded after a meeting with Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay.
The owner appears to have other plans, however, emphasizing to NFL-covering Albert Breer that he had no intention of trading his running back. “Not now, not in October! “, he mentioned.
During the 2021 season, the running back had been sparkling thanks to a harvest of 1,811 yards and 18 touchdowns on the ground. He had also recorded two majors by air. He started his career with the Colts during the 2020 campaign.
