The Indianapolis Colts running back Zack Moss has been ruled out of Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons. The team announced that the running back was downgraded after injuring his shoulder during last week’s 30-13 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Injured during the second quarter after a 16-yard scoring pass from Gardner Minshew, Moss was unable to return for the remainder of the game.
With Moss no longer in contention to start Sunday’s game, the Colts will be hoping that fellow running back Jonathan Taylor will be fit to play after missing the last three games after getting thumb surgery. The 2021 NFL rushing leader tore a ligament in his right thumb during the Colts win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on November 26.
Currently the seventh and final seed in the AFC, the Colts are in with a shot to seal a playoff berth so long as they keep up their winning ways. The Colts are second in the AFC South, tied with both the first-placed Jaguars and Texans, with all three teams on an 8-6 record.
