Several teams are interested in trading for Colts running back Jonathan Taylor, ESPN's Stephen Holder reported, but whether Indianapolis will make players available at the trade deadline remains uncertain.

The Colts, who have a 2-4 record, fired general manager Chris Ballard and named Ed Dodds to the position on an interim basis.

Asked about his future, Taylor said he had not considered it. He said his attention was on facing the Minnesota Vikings and that weighing possible moves would be a disservice to his teammates and the organization.

Taylor, 27, agreed to a three-year extension in August, his second since the Colts selected him in the second round in 2020. His average annual pay of US$22 million is the third-highest among players at his position.

Last season, Taylor topped the league with 323 carries, 18 touchdowns and 84 first downs. Through six games this season, he has gained 492 yards on 122 carries and scored seven touchdowns. His career totals stand at 8,090 yards and 76 touchdowns on 1,673 carries.
