  • Starts in preseason opener

    Mack carried the ball three times for six yards in Saturday's 17-13 preseason win over the Saints.

    Analysis: Mack drew the start at running back with the Texans' first-team offense on the field for the opening two series, but only one of his three carries went for more than three yards as the unit struggled to move the ball early. Rookie fourth-rounder Dameon Pierce eventually impressed as he paced the backfield with five rushes for 49 yards while Mack looked on, which could help the former earn some run with the ones this coming Friday against the Rams. However, Mack remains atop the depth chart at…read more

  • In line to play Saturday

    Mack is slated to play in Saturday's preseason contest versus the Saints, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

    Analysis: Meanwhile, Rex Burkhead is not expected to suit up. Notably, Mack was listed as the top running back on the Texans' first unofficial depth chart, so it stands to reason the coaching staff may hold a different view on the situation. In any case, rookie fourth-rounder Dameon Pierce will sub in for Mack and likely get a fair amount of action before halftime, while the team's remaining healthy RBs are Dare Ogunbowale, Royce Freeman and BJ Emmons.

  • Atop depth chart with Burkhead

    Mack and Rex Burkhead are listed as the first running backs on the Texans' unofficial depth chart for the preseason opener against the Saints on Saturday, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: The two veterans lead the position group, with Mack's name listed first. It was presumed the former Colt would be the team's lead back, but the Texans want to see him prove it during preseason game action, as Mack is coming off an Achilles injury that wiped out his 2020 season and was used sparingly (six games, 57 snaps) in 2021. Dameon Pierce, a 2022 fourth-round pick out of Florida, is third in line.

  • Confident in Achilles

    Mack said he fully trusts his Achilles and did not get a chance to show how healthy he was in 2021 with the Colts, Aaron Wilson of Pro Football Network reports.

    Analysis: Mack suffered an Achilles injury that wiped out most of his 2020 season, and by the time he was healthy last season, the lead-back job in Indianapolis was in the capable hands of Jonathan Taylor. Mack played just six games and had 28 carries for 101 yards last season, but the five-year veteran gets a chance to show off his health as the perceived lead back for Houston, which is expected to run often in 2022. Along with Mack, Rex Burkhead and Dameon Pierce round out the top of the depth chart.

  • Competing for role

    Mack is competing with Rex Burkhead, Dameon Pierce and other running backs for roles in the Houston backfield, Drew Dougherty of houstontexans.com reports.

    Analysis: Pierce reportedly is making a strong impression, but it seems like a wide-open competition, and Mack is the only one with experience working as an NFL lead back. That was years ago, of course, and he's taken only 28 regular-season carries since suffering an Achilles tear in Week 1 of 2020 with the Colts. Mack did run for 908 yards and nine touchdowns in 2018 (195 carries - 4.7 YPC), followed by 1,091 yards and eight TDs in 2019 (247 carries - 4.4 YPC).

  • Heading to Houston

    The Texans and Mack agreed to a contract Friday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: A fourth-round pick of the Colts in 2017, Mack worked his way to the top of the depth chart at running back in his second and third seasons, combining for 1,999 yards and 17 touchdowns on the ground between 2018 and 2019. Indianapolis then selected Jonathan Taylor in the second round of the 2020 Draft, which was followed by Mack tearing his Achilles in Week 1 of that campaign. Mack only appeared in six games last year, averaging 3.6 yards on his 28 carries, and otherwise was a healthy scratch…read more

  • Ends year as No. 4 on depth chart

    Mack rushed 28 times for 101 yards while securing two of five targets for eight yards across six appearances in 2021.

    Analysis: The 25-year-old began the 2021 campaign as the Colts' No. 3 running back behind Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines, but he saw limited playing time early in the season. Mack and the Colts mutually agreed to seek a trade in late September, but a trade partner wasn't found. The 2017 fourth-rounder didn't appear in any of the final nine games of the season, mainly due to being a healthy scratch. Mack is slated to become an unrestricted free agent during the offseason, and it wouldn't be surprising…read more

  • Remains sidelined

    Mack (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Mack has not played since Week 8, when Deon Jackson jumped him on the depth chart. Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines will continue to serve as the team's primary backs.

  • Back from COVID list

    The Colts activated Mack (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday.

    Analysis: Mack landed on the list Monday but was able to clear the NFL's return-to-play protocols in timely fashion. The 25-year-old has been a healthy scratch since Week 8, and he's unlikely to see the field Sunday against the Raiders if the rest of the Indianapolis backfield remains in good health.

  • Lands on COVID-19 list

    Mack was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.

    Analysis: Mack will need to clear the NFL's COVID-19 protocols before seeing action again, but with him being a healthy scratch in seven straight games, his absence should not affect any roles in the Colts' backfield.

  • Scratched Saturday

    Mack (coach's decision) is inactive Saturday in Arizona.

    Analysis: Mack last was part of the Colts offense Week 8, and he'll miss his seventh consecutive game as a healthy scratch. Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines will continue to man the Indy backfield.

  • Inactive again

    Mack is inactive for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: As long as Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines are healthy and available to lead the Colts' backfield, Mack will remain the odd man out of the mix on a weekly basis.

  • Healthy scratch Sunday

    Mack (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game at Buffalo.

  • Stays put at trade deadline

    Mack wasn't moved to another team ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline, despite he and the Colts mutually agreeing to seek a deal elsewhere, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

    Analysis: A quiet market for running backs was ultimately a major factor in Mack remaining in Indianapolis once the deadline passed. After playing just one snap on offense in last week's loss to the Titans, Mack will likely continue to fill a small role on offense unless Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines were to miss time. Mack hasn't given any indications that he'll ask for his release after not being traded.

  • Just three carries Sunday

    Mack had three carries for four yards in Sunday's 30-18 win at San Francisco.

    Analysis: Mack played on just four snaps on offense as his small role was slightly lower than his past three games because Jonathan Taylor was on a roll (18 carries for 107 yards). The larger question for Mack's fantasy value is whether he's moved before the Nov. 2 trade deadline because Mack and the Colts mutually agreed to seek a trade three weeks ago.

  • Five carries in blowout win

    Mack had five carries for 12 yards in Sunday's win over Houston.

    Analysis: Mack played nine snaps and got some work in a blowout win. It looks like Mack will continue to get about five carries a game in a reserve role. He's also a candidate to be traded after Mack and the Colts mutually agreed to seek a trade two weeks ago.

  • Has 47 yards rushing

    Mack had five carries for 47 yards and one reception for seven yards on two targets in Monday's loss to Baltimore.

    Analysis: Mack played just 10 snaps on offense with both Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines healthy. Last week, head coach Frank Reich said he ideally would give Mack five carries a week, which seems odd given his spot on the depth chart and with him demanding a trade two weeks ago. Still, it looks like he may continue to see a steady, but small, role in the offense, usage which could be intended to showcase him for a team in need of backfield help.

  • Gets 10 carries Sunday

    Mack had 10 carries for 22 yards and one reception on two targets for one yard in Sunday's win at Miami. "In my mind, the starting point is Jonathan [Taylor] with 20 carries, Nyheim with five and Marlon [Mack] with five,'' Frank Reich told Fox 59 TV Indianapolis after the game. "But there's give-and-take depending on how the game goes.''

    Analysis: Mack had received just five carries Week 2 and no touches the other two weeks. He got more carries in a game where the Colts were rushing the ball well (Taylor had 103 yards), which makes sense. However, it's a little odd Mack had increased usage, and Reich gave him a vote of confidence just days after Mack and the Colts mutually agreed to seek a trade. Unless he's traded to a team with a need at running back, Mack is still likely to have a minimal role off the bench unless Taylor or Nyheim…read more

  • Back in the mix Sunday

    Mack is active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

    Analysis: As is Jonathan Taylor, who has been managing a knee issue, as well as change-of-pace back Nyheim Hines. In that context, Mack and Jordan Wilkins are on hand in reserve, but they don't appear destined for high-volume roles in Week 4, barring in-game developments that would change that.

  • Available on trade market

    Mack and the Colts have mutually agreed to seek a trade, resulting in him being inactive for Sunday's 25-16 loss to the Titans, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Mack entered the 2021 campaign at full health after going down with a season-ending torn Achilles' tendon in Week 1 of 2020, but he played just 12 total snaps through the Colts' first two contests before donning street clothes in Tennessee. With second-year standout Jonathan Taylor carrying the load on the ground and Nyheim Hines locked in as the Colts' top pass-catching option out of the backfield, Mack -- who doesn't contribute on special teams -- was left without much of a role in…read more

  • Inactive Sunday

    Mack is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans.

    Analysis: Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis suggests that Mack was made a scratch to open up an extra spot on Sunday's roster for a third QB. With Mack not in the team's Week 3 backfield mix, Nyheim Hines and Jordan Wilkins are on hand to work in complementary roles behind Jonathan Taylor.

  • Gets first carries of season

    Mack had five carries for 16 yards and didn't have a reception on his lone target in Sunday's loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: Mack didn't play Week 1, despite being healthy, so this is a positive step, despite his small role. He played 12 snaps on offense compared to 25 snaps for Nyheim Hines and 30 snaps for Jonathan Taylor. Mack's role could increase, but he'll still be the distant third option in the Indy backfield if the top two backs are healthy.

  • Doesn't play in season opener

    Mack was active but did not play in Sunday's loss to Seattle.

    Analysis: Mack returned from a season-ending Achilles tendon tear suffered in Week 1 of last year, but he's clearly behind Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines on the depth chart. Still, it's somewhat surprising Mack didn't get any action in the game because he's said to be back to full strength. It likely will take an injury to Taylor or Hines for Mack to have a significant role.

  • Listed as No. 3 back

    Mack is listed as the No. 3 running back behind Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines on the Colts' unofficial Week 1 depth chart released Tuesday, JJ Stankevitz of the Colts' official site reports.

    Analysis: While Mack is the most likely candidate to take over as the Colts' early-down back in the event Taylor misses time in 2021, Hines is expected to have more involvement in Indianapolis' weekly game plan in light of his status as the team's top pass-catching option out of the backfield. With that in mind, Hines' presence ahead of Mack on the depth chart comes as little surprise, since Hines projects to play more snaps and hold more fantasy value than Mack -- particularly in PPR formats -- while…read more

  • Five touches in preseason debut

    Mack (Achilles) rushed four times for 12 yards and caught one pass for three more yards in Sunday's 21-18 preseason win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: Mack has been recovering from a ruptured Achilles tendon that happened back in Week 1 of the 2020 season. The fact that the veteran back was even out there in the first preseason contest is a positive sign that his leg is back to 100 percent. In his absence, Jonathan Taylor took over as the Colts' workhorse, which leaves Mack primarily as a backup rusher (with Nyheim Hines serving as the receiving back).

  • Ready for training camp

    Mack (Achilles) will be ready to participate fully in practice at the start of training camp according to GM Chris Ballard, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Mack participated in activities with the Colts during voluntary offseason workouts but wasn't involved in practice. He suffered a ruptured right Achilles tendon Week 1 last year and missed the remainder of the season. If he's back to his pre-injury form, his role will be something to watch this summer, as it's not clear how the touches will be distributed in the Indy backfield other than Jonathan Taylor being the clear lead back.

  • Participating in workouts

    Mack (Achilles) has been participating in activities with the Colts during voluntary offseason workouts being held at team headquarters, but he hasn't been seen participating in practice, Stephen Holder of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Mack suffered a ruptured right Achilles' tendon in Week 1 last year and missed the remainder of the season. He appears to be on track for the start of training camp, but he's still taking things slowly this spring. If healthy, he'll slot in behind Jonathan Taylor to start the 2021 campaign, leaving him in line to fill a complementary role along with Nyheim Hines and Jordan Wilkins.

    Mack (Achilles) re-signed Wednesday with the Colts on a one-year, $2 million deal, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Mack suffered a ruptured Achilles' tendon Week 1 and missed the remainder of the season, but he's since progressed to the point that he's expected to be full participant by the time training camp rolls around, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com. At this point, Mack is estimated to be about 80 to 90 percent healthy, per Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio. Mack will at least have the benefit of returning to an offense that he's already familiar with as he works his way back to 100 percent.…read more

    Mack (Achilles) is making progress in his rehab and is on track for full clearance by the tentative start of training camp, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Mack suffered a ruptured Achilles' tendon Week 1 of the 2020 campaign, paving the way for Jonathan Taylor to operate as Indianapolis' top between-the-tackles option right out of the gate. The 25-year-old appears destined to hit free agency mid-March, so giving teams confidence in his health will be key to his contract prospects. Though Mack could have a tough time earning a multi-year deal with substantial guaranteed money, he shouldn't have much trouble drawing interest from teams in need of a…read more

    Mack, who ruptured his right Achilles' tendon in Week 1, is slated to become a free agent this offseason, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

    Analysis: Though GM Chris Ballard didn't rule out bringing Mack back in 2021, he acknowledged that the running back, who has worked hard to recover from his injury, "deserves a good contract. I don't know if we are going to be able to do that here." In Mack's absence this past season, Jonathan Taylor established himself as the Colts' top back, while Nyheim Hines and Jordan Wilkins worked in change-of-pace/complementary roles. The trio remain under contract with the team next season.

    Analysis: Mack is set to miss the remainder of the 2020 season after rupturing his right Achilles' tendon in the Colts' Week 1 loss to the Jaguars. The season-ending injury comes at an unfortunate time for Mack, an impending free agent who was hoping to play well in the final year of his rookie deal and potentially cash in this spring. With Mack out of the mix, rookie second-round pick Jonathan Taylor steps in as the Colts' top ball carrier, while Nyheim Hines could be in store for a heightened role as…read more

  • Achilles tear confirmed

    Mack underwent an MRI on Monday, the results of which confirmed a torn Achilles, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The severity of Mack's injury will no doubt cause him to miss the remainder of the 2020 season, leaving Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines in line to handle increased workloads out of the Indianapolis backfield. Mack, who compiled 1,091 rushing yards across 14 games in 2019, will lose the rest of his contract year. He's set to become an unrestricted free agent in 2021.

    The Colts fear that Mack suffered a torn Achilles against the Jaguars on Sunday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: If that's the case, Mack -- who has an MRI on tap -- would obviously miss extended time, while Jonathan Taylor would presumably be next up to handle the Colts' early down work, with Nyheim Hines also in the mix for added carries on top of his pass-catching duties.

    Mack (ankle) won't return to Sunday's game at Jacksonville, Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis reports.

    Analysis: While rookie Jonathan Taylor has drawn rave reviews in training camp, head coach Frank Reich has said Mack is still viewed as the starter. Mack was also seen having a strong camp and improved on his receiving skills. While Taylor ultimately may win a majority of touches in the backfield, Mack looks set to be the first running back on the field. Still, the Indy coaching staff has continued to say they view their backfield as a committee with both Mack and Taylor as a "one-two punch."

    Mack was impressive in Monday's scrimmage at at Lucas Oil Stadium, breaking off runs that went for more than 20 and more than 40 yards, Andrew Walker of the team's official site reports. The Colts have also been focusing on Mack's usage in the passing game as he caught more passes early in training camp than prior years, SB Nation reports.

    Analysis: While rookie Jonathan Taylor has drawn raves in training camp, head coach Frank Reich has said Mack is still viewed as the starter. Reports on Mack's performance in camp have also been positive. The Indy passing game has also emphasized passing to running backs in training camp, an area where Mack could use improvement after catching just 14 of 17 targets for 82 yards and struggling in pass protection last season.

    Coach Frank Reich noted Wednesday that Mack is still viewed as the Colts' starting running back, Andrew Walker of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: That said, with second-round draft pick Jonathan Taylor also in the mix, Reich continues to suggest that the team will likely employ a one-two backfield punch in 2020. Mack rushed for 1,091 yards last season while averaging 4.4 yards per carry, but Taylor's combination of skill and draft capital make him the favorite to eventually emerge with the lead role, even if a committee technically headed by Mack is how things proceed early on this season.

  • Could still have role

    Coach Frank Reich envisions Mack and Jonathan Taylor as a "one-two punch" in the backfield, Mike Wells of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Taylor's combination of talent and draft capital makes him the favorite to emerge with the lead role sooner than later, though custom dictates that it'll be Mack getting the first snap with the starting offense once the Colts are able to practice. Reich believes the two backs will complement each other, pointing to Mack's vision, acceleration and comfort level running outside zone, while Taylor earns praise for his size, speed and explosiveness. The idea of splitting work isn't unreasonable,…read more

  • Increased competition for touches

    Mack faces increased competition for playing time in the Indianapolis backfield after the Colts took Jonathan Taylor with the 41st pick in the NFL Draft. "Marlon is a good kid. He's a special teammate. He knows that Taylor is going to make us better and that he's going to make Marlon better," GM Chris Ballard told The Fan 1070 am Indianapolis.

    Analysis: Ballard said that he texted Mack about the pick and Mack responded with "Let's go. Let's go win." Mack is entering the final season of his rookie contract and the team hadn't been talking to him about a contract extension, so this could be his last year with the Colts. Mack's work on the ground has been solid, but he's missed multiple games in each of his three seasons, and his Pro Football Focus grades for pass blocking and receiving have consistently been poor. The Colts haven't indicated yet…read more

  • Not discussing extension yet

    Colts owner Jim Irsay denied reports about Mack discussing a contract extension with the team, Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis reports.

    Analysis: This doesn't mean an extension isn't in play, but it does suggest the Colts have bigger offseason priorities, including a potential quarterback upgrade and convincing left tackle Anthony Castonzo not to retire. Mack is entering the final season of his rookie contract, after averaging 75.7 and 77.9 rushing yards per game the past two years. His work on the ground has been solid, but he's missed multiple games in each of his three seasons, and his PFF grades for pass blocking and receiving have…read more

  • Finishes season on strong note

    Mack rushed 15 times for 77 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 38-20 loss to Jacksonville.

    Analysis: Mack was the lone bright spot for the Colts from a fantasy perspective, providing the only two offensive touchdowns the team could muster against the Jaguars' defense. The 23-year-old was able to eclipse the 1,000-yard rushing mark for the first time in his career, proving that last year's modest breakout (908 yards and nine touchdowns over 12 games) was no fluke. He didn't provide much in terms of receiving (14 receptions for 82 yards ), ceding most of that work to Nyheim Hines. Mack is in…read more

  • Picks up 101 yards, score

    Mack ran for 95 yards on 16 carries and added six yards on two catches during Sunday's 38-6 win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: Mack had a rough time of it in Weeks 14 and 15, but he rebounded in a big way against Carolina's poor run defense. He plunged for a two-yard touchdown in the second quarter and helped run out the game with a 30-yard rumble in the fourth quarter. Mack has run hot and cold this season, but he has an opportunity to end the season on a high note. The Colts wrap up versus the Jaguars on Sunday, against whom Mack ran for 109 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries in Week 11. His 7.8 yards per carry…read more

  • Stymied in defeat

    Mack rushed 11 times for 19 yards and was not targeted in Monday night's 34-7 loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: Mack could hardly find room to run against a swarming New Orleans front seven, and the Colts falling behind early prevented them from running more often. When they did manage to get in scoring position, it was Jordan Wilkins who was handed a one-yard touchdown out of Indy's backfield. Although his team has now been eliminated from playoff contention, Mack at least has a favorable matchup in Week 16 versus the Panthers, who've allowed the third-most rushing yards this season.

  • Scores TD in return

    Mack (hand) rushed 13 times for 38 yards and a touchdown but wasn't targeted in the passing game in Sunday's 38-25 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Mack wasn't effective on a per-carry basis against the stingy Tampa Bay front in his return from a hand injury, but he found the end zone from two yards out in the second quarter. That was his fifth touchdown of the season, and it salvaged an otherwise forgettable performance. Mack has now reached the 900-yard mark on the ground in consecutive seasons, and he'll serve as the Colts' featured back when the team visits New Orleans in Week 15.

  • Officially cleared for Week 14

    Coach Frank Reich confirmed that Mack (hand) will be available for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, barring any setbacks, Stephen Holder of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: After experiencing no complications with his fractured right hand following his full practice Thursday, Mack will enter the weekend minus an injury designation and put an end to a two-game absence. Since Mack wasn't sidelined for a long period due to the injury, his conditioning shouldn't be an issue once Sunday arrives, so expect him to slot back into the lead role in the Indianapolis backfield. Jordan Wilkins and Jonathan Williams should see steady downturns in their involvement in the ground…read more

  • Returns to full practice

    Mack (hand) practiced fully Thursday.

    Analysis: Mack was limited Wednesday, so his full participation Thursday suggests that he'll suit up Sunday against the Buccaneers, barring any setbacks. Friday's final Week 14 injury report will reveal whether the running back -- who hasn't played since Week 11 -- will be listed as questionable, or free of an injury designation heading into the weekend.

  • Returns to limited practice session

    Mack (hand) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.

    Analysis: Mack, who's bouncing back from a fractured right hand that he suffered Week 11, has a chance to play Sunday against the Buccaneers, per coach Frank Reich. In Mack's absence, Jordan Wilkins and Jonathan Williams have see added opportunities in the run game, while Nyheim Hines has remained the team's top pass-catching threat out of the backfield. Once he's up to speed, Mack should immediately reclaim his status as the Colts' top back and render the three others less useful for fantasy purposes.

  • Chance to face Buccaneers

    Coach Frank Reich said that Mack (hand) will practice Wednesday and has "a chance" to return Week 14 against the Buccaneers, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin reports.

    Analysis: Mack sat out the Colts' last two games while recovering from a broken right hand, but he looks like he'll be at least a limited participant in Wednesday's session, setting him up for a potential return to action over the weekend. The third-year pro will have two more chances to increase his level of activity in practice before the Colts render an official verdict on his status for the game in Tampa Bay. Jonathan Williams filled the lead role out of the backfield Week 12 versus the Texans, but…read more

  • Remains in 'monitoring' phase

    Coach Frank Reich said Monday the Colts will "just monitor" Mack (hand) and "see how it (his recovery) goes" this week before determining whether or not he can return to action Sunday at Tampa Bay, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.

    Analysis: The running back broke his right hand Week 12 versus the Jaguars and hasn't practiced or played in the interim. On Monday, Reich also mentioned Mack made "good progress" last week, but it remains to be seen if it was enough to be cleared for on-field work. Wednesday's injury report could give the first indication that a return is possible Week 14. If Mack doesn't play this weekend, Jordan Wilkins, Nyheim Hines and Jonathan Williams will share the workload out of the Colts' backfield yet again.

  • Takes step forward in rehab

    Mack (hand) was spotted working off to the side during Friday's practice, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Mack will be listed as a non-participant during the Colts' final practice of the week and has already been ruled out in advance of Sunday's game against the Titans, marking his second straight absence. Despite his lack of recorded practice activity since he fractured his right hand in the Week 11 win over the Jaguars, Mack's presence on the side field Friday at least represents some form of progress. He was still spotted with a small brace on his right hand, so he'll likely need to shed the…read more

  • Won't play Week 13

    Mack (hand) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Titans, Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis reports.

    Analysis: This news is expected, as Mack broke his dominant ball-carrying hand Week 11. There's still no definitive timeline, but coach Frank Reich isn't shy about tipping his hand early in the week. During Week 12's loss to the Texans, Jonathan Williams served as a bell cow with Nyheim Hines rotating in. Williams had success, so the Colts may roll out the same game plan, though Jordan Wilkins should be healthy and ready to help out as well.

  • Out for Week 12 after hand surgery

    Coach Frank Reich confirmed Monday that Mack underwent a procedure to repair his fractured right hand, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports. The running back has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Texans and is considered out indefinitely.

    Analysis: Considering the fracture is to the hand in which Mack typically carries the ball, playing through the injury with a cast on a short week was never a realistic outcome. Though the Colts aren't providing an estimated timeline for Mack's return, the expectation is that he'll be sidelined for multiple games following surgery. In his stead, Reich said that Jonathan Williams and Jordan Wilkins would likely share most of the carries, while pass-catching specialist Nyheim Hines is slated to remain in…read more

  • Breaks hand, out indefinitely

    Mack suffered a broken hand Sunday against the Jaguars and won't suit up for Thursday's game at Houston, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: En route to his third 100-yard rushing performance of the season, Mack was knocked out due to the hand injury. He'll miss at least one game as a result, and further testing will reveal whether he needs surgery and a potential timetable for his recovery.

    Mack won't return to Sunday's game against the Jaguars after suffering a hand injury, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Prior to his exit, Mack had logged 14 carries for 109 yards and a TD. With Jordan Wilkins (ankle) already out Sunday, Jonathan Williams and Nyheim Hines will handle the Colts' backfield duties for the remainder of Sunday's contest.

  • Keeps seeing volume

    Mack rushed the ball 19 times for 74 yards in the team's Week 10 loss to the Dolphins. He also added one reception for eight yards.

    Analysis: Mack once again dominated the Colts' backfield, with no other back accruing more than three carries. However, he wasn't particularly efficient -- he averaged only 3.9 yards per carry -- and failed to reach the end zone for the fifth time in his last six games. The team's struggle to move the ball effectively as well as Mack's lack of involvement in the passing game continue to limit his ability to turn in big performances. However, volume remains on his side, and that should remain the case as…read more

  • Carries ball 21 times

    Mack rushed the ball 21 times for 89 yards in Week 9 against the Steelers.

    Analysis: Mack was limited to just eight touches in the first half, but returned to his workhorse role after halftime. His most explosive run came in the third quarter, when he broke off a 24-yard run behind his right tackle. While he remains uninvolved in the passing game, Mack has seen at least 18 carries in six of eight games this season -- including in each of his last four. Due to his lack of receptions, Mack is reliant on finding paydirt to turn in big fantasy performances. However, he is in line…read more
