Colts star running back Jonathan Taylor will undergo thumb surgery and miss the next two to three weeks of action, team owner Jim Irsay told The Athletic’s James Boyd on Tuesday. It’s unclear exactly when or how Taylor suffered the injury.
It’s been a less-than-ideal season for Taylor in terms of luck with injuries. He missed the first four games of the season with an ankle injury amid a very public holdout concerning negotiations around a contract extension. But he eventually returned to the field after signing a three-year deal worth $42 million in October.
The Arkansas football program has reportedly decided to bring back former head coach Bobby Petrino as its offensive coordinator, according to ESPN’s Chris Low. When Petrino was last at Arkansas, he was fired after he was involved in a scandal and affair with former Razorbacks volleyball player and assistant Jessica Dorrell.
One of the lasting images of Petrino’s Razorbacks tenure was a photo of him in a neck brace, which he donned after lying about riding a motorcycle with Dorrell. The coach was left with four broken ribs and damaged C2 vertebrae.
One of the most eagerly anticipated games on the NFL season is nearly upon us. The Philadelphia Eagles travel to San Francisco to take on the 49ers in an NFC Championship Game rematch.

Steelers receiver Diontae Johnson caught heat from NFL fans after he appeared to give zero effort when his team fumbled early in Sunday’s 16–10 win over the Bengals.
A video that has since gone viral shows Johnson not moving as the ball fell loose. When asked about this moment on Tuesday, Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin didn’t want to speak for his player fully.
“Diontae can’t let the emotions of the previous down affect his next down, but I’ll give him an opportunity to address that with you guys,” Tomlin said, per ESPN’s Brooke Pryor.

Zalatoris suffered a back injury in April, and has been sidelined since. He makes his return this week in the Bahamas.
A little before 1 p.m. on Thursday, Apr. 6, Will Zalatoris felt something pop in his back.
That feeling is never a good thing, let alone on the practice range at Augusta National. He was in the midst of his warm-up session leading up to the first round of the 2023 Masters.
Zalatoris was scheduled to play the opening two rounds with defending U.S.
