Jonathan Taylor's Absence from Colts Training Camp Linked to Personal Matter

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor has been excused from training camp due to a personal matter unrelated to his contract standoff with the team. Taylor had previously requested a trade after the Colts declined to discuss a contract extension with him. The situation has escalated, with the team considering withholding Taylor's 2023 salary and his agent expressing doubt about salvaging the relationship. Taylor's absence leaves the Colts with a running back group led by Deon Jackson and recently signed Kenyan Drake.
