Let go Monday
Wilkins was waived by the Colts on Tuesday.
Analysis: Wilkins appeared in four games with the Colts this season, earning 13 carries for 58 yards, while also making six catches on eight targets for 29 yards. His departure comes as the team has opted to sign Jake Funk to the active roster from its practice squad.

Gets eight touches in loss
Wilkins had six carries for 23 yards and two receptions for 14 yards in Sunday's loss at the Giants.
Analysis: Wilkins played on 10 of the offense's 58 snaps and had more carries than Deon Jackson amid a blowout loss. Meanwhile, Zack Moss had 15 carries in a starting role. Wilkins could get a significant share of the playing time in the season finale this week against Houston, but it's hard to predict what the Colts will do on offense in a meaningless game.

Signed to active roster
The Colts signed Wilkins to the active roster Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Analysis: Wilkins was elevated for Weeks 9 and 10, totaling six rushing attempts for 31 yards while securing four of five targets for 15 yards across 21 offensive snaps. However, he'll get an official spot on the active roster with Jonathan Taylor (ankle) on IR for the remainder of the campaign. Wilkins figures to serve as a depth option behind Zack Moss and Deon Jackson.

Rejoins practice squad
The Colts sent Wilkins back to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Analysis: Wilkins played just three offensive snaps in Sunday's Week 10 win over the Raiders, but he was fairly productive in the limited role, turning three carries into 18 yards. He actually tallied the second-most totes among Indianapolis running backs, as Jonathan Taylor (60 snaps) functioned as the workhorse with 22 carries for 147 yards and a touchdown. Wilkins' chance to be elevated again Week 11 may depend on whether Deon Jackson (knee) is able to play.

Three carries in backup role
Wilkins had three carries for 18 yards in Sunday's win at Las Vegas.
Analysis: Wilkins played just three snaps on offense, and Zack Moss played just one snap, as Jonathan Taylor (60 snaps) got almost all the playing time now that he's healthy and Nyhiem Hines has been traded. Wilkins looks like the primary backup as long as Deon Jackson (knee) is out, but that may be a very small role barring another Taylor injury.

Elevated from practice squad
Indianapolis elevated Wilkins from its practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game at the Raiders.
Analysis: It will be the second consecutive week Wilkins is active for the Colts after he picked up 28 scrimmage yards on seven touches in Week 9. After Week 10, he will be eligible for only one more elevation from the practice squad before he would have to be signed to the team's active roster in order to suit up.

Reverts to practice squad
The Colts reverted Wilkins to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Analysis: Wilkins saw his first action of the season in Sunday's Week 9 loss to New England, playing 19 of 62 offensive snaps and finishing with three carries for 13 yards and four catches on five targets for 15 yards. His presence was needed in the absence of Jonathan Taylor (ankle) and with Zack Moss not yet ready to play following his trade to the club. Wilkins' chance of another elevation in Week 10 will likely hinge on Taylor's availability, though Phillip Lindsay is also on the team's practice…read more

Totals 28 yards in season debut
Wilkins rushed the ball three times for 13 yards in Sunday's 26-3 loss to the Patriots. He added four receptions on five targets for 15 yards.
Analysis: Wilkins was active for the first time this season and operated as the primary backup to Deon Jackson. His day was highlighted by his work as a pass catcher, as he led the team with four receptions -- though none of those looks came down the field. It's unclear whether Jonathan Taylor (ankle) or Zack Moss (ankle) will be active for a Week 10 matchup against the Raiders, and their status will likely dictate Wilkins' opportunity in that matchup.

Elevated for Week 9
Wilkins was elevated from the Colts' practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Wilkins joined the Colts' practice squad Wednesday to provide depth after the team traded away Nyheim Hines. With Jonathan Taylor (ankle) sidelined, Wilkins and Phillip Lindsay are expected to back up Deon Jackson out of the backfield.

Joins Indianapolis' practice squad
Indianapolis signed Wilkins to its practice squad Wednesday.
Analysis: Wilkins was drafted by the Colts in the fifth round of the 2018 Draft and rushed for more than 300 yards in each of his first three seasons in Indianapolis. However, he saw just one offensive snap across five appearances -- split between Indianapolis and Tennessee -- last year and ended the 2021 campaign on the Titans' practice squad.

Let go by Tennessee
The Titans released Wilkins on Tuesday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Wilkins ended last season on the Titans' practice squad and signed a contract with Tennessee in March, but he's among the first wave of cuts ahead of Tuesday's 85-man roster deadline. The 2018 fifth-round pick played just one offensive snap across five appearances -- split between Indianapolis and Tennessee -- last year after rushing for at least 300 yards and one touchdown in each of his first three seasons in the NFL with the Colts.

Inks deal with Titans
Wilkins signed a contract with the Titans on Friday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Wilkins began the 2021 season with the Colts and closed out the year with Tennessee's practice squad. He appeared in just one game for the Titans last year but will have the chance to compete for a backup role behind Derrick Henry heading into 2022.

Returns to practice squad
The Titans restored Wilkins to the practice squad from the practice squad COVID-19 list Monday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Wilkins was elevated from the Titans' practice squad and appeared on 13 special-teams snaps in Week 18 versus the Texans. This was the first game Wilkins appeared in for the Titans this season, as the running back has not recorded a carry since Week 14 of 2020.

Lands on injured list
The Titans placed Wilkins (undisclosed) on the practice squad COVID-19 list Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Wilkins was elevated to the Titans' active roster Week 18, but he's since entered into COVID-19 protocols, which will determine when he can return to team facilities. Elsewhere in the backfield, Jeremy McNichols was signed to the practice squad Tuesday.

Moves to active roster
Wilkins was elevated from the Titans' practice squad Saturday.
Analysis: The Titans opted not to activate Derrick Henry (foot) off injured reserve, which set the stage for Wilkins to make his first appearance with another AFC South squad. Don't expect the lumbering Wilkins to see a significant amount of carries unless the Titans see a sizable lead Sunday in the quest to lock up the No. 1 seed.

Finds new home
Wilkins signed with the Titans' practice squad Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Wilkins needed about 24 hours to find a new job after he was cut from the Jaguars practice squad Tuesday. The four-year veteran was let go by the Colts on Oct. 30 after his role had turned nonexistent behind Jonathan Taylor, Nyheim Hines and undrafted rookie Deon Jackson. Not to mention the veteran Marlon Mack, who is still on the roster. Wilkins will work to make an impact in Tennessee and find his way to the active roster.

Gets cut Tuesday
Wilkins was cut from the Jaguars' practice squad Tuesday.
Analysis: Wilkins signed with the Jaguars on Nov. 8 after he was waived by the Colts on Oct. 30, in the middle of his fourth year with the club. In a corresponding move the Jaguars signed running back BJ Emmons to their practice squad.

Lands with Jacksonville
Jacksonville signed Wilkins to its practice squad Monday.
Analysis: The 27-year-old went unclaimed off waivers after being cut loose by Indianapolis following last week's trade deadline, but he didn't take long to find a new home elsewhere. Though he won't immediately be added to the 53-man roster, Wilkins could be a candidate to join the Jaguars in Week 10 for a game against his former team if lead back James Robinson (heel) is sidelined for a second straight contest.

Waived by Indy
Wilkins has been waived by the Colts.

Recovered from illness
Wilkins has recovered after being inactive with an illness in Week 7.
Analysis: The running back was estimated as a full participant in Wednesday's walkthrough practice and is expected to be active in Week 8 versus the Titans. Wilkins is still unlikely to make any offensive impact as the fourth option behind Jonathan Taylor, Nyheim Hines and Marlon Mack.

Won't play Sunday
Wilkins (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at San Francisco.

Missing from practice
Wilkins (illness) wasn't spotted on the field for Wednesday's practice, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
Analysis: Wilkins hasn't practiced since Oct. 7 due to the illness, missing two games along the way. Unless he gets back on the field in some capacity Thursday and/or Friday, he'll likely find himself on the Colts' inactive list again Sunday in San Francisco.

Won't play in Week 6
Wilkins (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Analysis: Wilkins will try to feel better in time to play against the 49ers in Week 7. He's a distant fourth on the Colts' backfield depth chart behind Jonathan Taylor, Nyheim Hines and Marlon Mack, so Wilkins will need an injury or two in front of him to take on a meaningful role once he's healthy again.

No snaps on offense
Wilkins did not have a carry or target in Sunday's loss to Seattle. He played 15 snaps, all on special teams.
Analysis: Neither Wilkins nor Marlon Mack played a snap on offense, which shows that the coaching staff is set on giving Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines large workloads. Both Wilkins and Mack may have little role in the offense unless Taylor or Hines gets hurt.

Five carries Saturday
Wilkins had five carries for 20 yards and two receptions for two yards in Saturday's preseason win over Minnesota.
Analysis: Wilkins will likely have a reserve role and sits fourth on the running back depth chart, but he's been given larger opportunities at times by the coaching staff. Over his 15 regular-season appearances in 2020, Wilkins logged 84 carries for 308 yards and a touchdown while also securing 12 of 16 targets for 105 yards.

Analysis: Wilkins had been held out of practice since Tuesday due to a minor hamstring injury, but he's now been given the green light to rejoin teammates on the field. The 2018 fifth-round pick handled a career-high 84 carries last season, though though his YPC dropped down to 3.7 after sitting at 5.6 and 6.0 in 2018 and 2019.

Shifts to COVID list
Wilkins was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Sunday and will be unavailable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
Analysis: This development seemingly comes out of the blue, as the 26-year-old back was able to participate throughout the practice week with no restrictions. Wilkins will have a chance to make another appearance if the Colts reach the playoffs, but he'll have to clear league COVID-19 protocols before doing so.

Wilkins registered two solo tackles during Sunday's 28-24 loss to Pittsburgh.
Analysis: Wilkins received all of his work on special teams, registering 14 snaps in that department compared to zero on offense. The 26-year-old has by no means been relied upon as the workhorse this season for Indianapolis, but he has produced brief stretches of fantasy utility in 2020.

No offensive snaps Sunday
Wilkins didn't log a snap on offense in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Texans.
Analysis: Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines handled all of the backfield reps in Sunday's divisional win, and both running backs enjoyed plenty of success in the process. Wilkins has fallen out of favor as a result, as he didn't play a snap on offense for the first time this season.

Involvement continues to fade
Wilkins registered three yards on his lone carry and added a four-yard catch on two targets during Sunday's 44-27 win over the Raiders.
Analysis: When Jonathan Taylor suffered a minor ankle injury Week 8 against the Lions, Wilkins picked up the slack by amassing 113 scrimmage yards and a touchdown over 21 touches. His involvement has steadily deteriorated since, and he hasn't seen more than nine touches or 26 offensive snaps in five straight games. Wilkins will continue to serve as the No. 3 option behind Taylor and Nyheim Hines in Week 15's matchup against Houston's 31st-ranked rush defense.

Lowest yardage since Week 6
Wilkins rushed five times for 12 yards and caught both targets for six yards in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Texans.
Analysis: Jonathan Taylor started the divisional contest, and Wilkins garnered just three touches in the first half. Wilkins finished with fewer than 20 yards from scrimmage for the first time since Week 6, while Taylor erupted for 135 yards (91 rushing, 44 receiving) and a receiving score. Meanwhile, Nyheim Hines produced 32 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown.

Totals nine touches
Wilkins carried the ball six times for 22 yards in Week 12 against the Titans. He added three receptions for 35 yards.
Analysis: Wilkins worked as a complement to Nyheim Hines but was out-touched 18-9 in the absence of Jonathan Taylor (illness). Game script likely had a lot do with that, as the Colts battled from three scores down for the entirety of the second half. A rib injury briefly forced Wilkins out of the game, but he was able to re-enter the contest, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reported.

Bump in workload expected
Wilkins could see his workload increase after Jonathan Taylor was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday,
Analysis: Wilkins will likely operate as the between-the-tackles option in lieu of Taylor's absence, but it's worth pointing out Hines was a critical factor in the Week 10 win over the Titans, eviscerating opposing linebacker Jayon Brown (now on IR with an elbow injury) to the tune of 115 total yards and two touchdowns. It's possible Wilkins and Hines could essentially split the team's offensive snaps, although it's clear coach Frank Reich has never been afraid to rely on the hot hand at running back.…read more

Just four carries Sunday
Wilkins had four carries for 21 yards and one reception for 15 yards on his lone target in Sunday's win over Green Bay.
Analysis: Wilkins played on just nine snaps on offense compared to 46 for Jonathan Taylor and 29 for Nyheim Hines. Taylor had 22 carries for 90 yards in a needed resurgent performance. Taylor may get the bulk of carries next week against Tennessee, but it's been a guessing game each week for how much each running back will be used in a three-back committee.

Has 28 yards rushing in win
Wilkins had eight carries for 28 yards in Thursday's win over Tennessee. He played on 14 of the offense's 70 snaps, compared to 17 snaps for Jonathan Taylor and 39 snaps for Nyheim Hines.
Analysis: Taylor got the starting assignment at running back, but the backfield again was a timeshare with Hines getting the most snaps after a few big plays. With Taylor failing to secure the majority of playing time after being given the first chance after Marlon Mack was injured, the Indy backfield remains unclear about how playing time will be divided heading into Week 11.

Paces team in carries
Wilkins rushed 11 times for 39 yards and secured both targets for minus-1 yard in the Colts' 24-10 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.
Analysis: A week after logging a season-high 20 carries, Wilkins once again led the backfield in rushing touches, although without much consistent success versus a tough Ravens defense. Wilkins does seem to have the trust of coach Frank Reich, which is an optimistic sign for his fantasy prospects. Wilkins will hope to continue seeing the same level of opportunity while splitting time with Jonathan Taylor in a Week 10 Thursday night battle against the Titans.

Now that his health apparently isn't a concern heading into Sunday's game against the Ravens, Wilkins will hope to earn a greater share of the carries out of the Indianapolis backfield after he outperformed starter Jonathan Taylor in last week's win over Detroit.

Wilkins was limited at practice Wednesday due to a groin injury.

Thrives in workhorse role
Wilkins carried 20 times for 89 yards and a touchdown while turning his only target into a 24-yard catch during Sunday's 41-21 win over the Lions.
Analysis: Wilkins had received just two carries over the previous two games but got more of a look in this one due to the struggles of rookie Jonathan Taylor, who generated just 31 yards on his 13 touches. He averaged a much more respectable 4.5 yards per carry and converted a one-yard touchdown a single play after Taylor was stuffed from the same distance. Nyheim Hines also scored a pair of touchdowns in this one, so the team's backfield picture has become quite unclear heading into next Sunday's tough…read more

Just one carry Sunday
Wilkins lost a yard on his only carry and didn't make a reception on the only pass targeted his direction in Sunday's win over the Bengals.
Analysis: With the Colts needing to make up a large deficit early in the game, Indy turned to the passing game and Wilkins was largely out of the game plan. Wilkins had just four snaps on offense with Nyheim Hines getting 21 snaps. Wilkins gets more playing time when the Colts need someone to give Johnathan Taylor relief when running the ball, with Hines more involved in the passing game.

Will play vs. CIN
Wilkins (calf) is active Week 6 against Cincinnati.
Analysis: Wilkins was trending in the wrong direction after missing practices Thursday and Friday, but he'll ultimately end up suiting up for the home matchup.

Questionable after missed practices
Wilkins (calf) didn't practice Friday and is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
Analysis: Wilkins missed the last two practices after getting in a limited session to start the week Wednesday, suggesting he could be leaning toward an absence Sunday. If Wilkins can't go, receiving back Nyheim Hines should see more change-of-pace rushing work behind Jonathan Taylor.

Limited to start week
Wilkins (calf) was limited in practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Wilkins was limited to one carry last week with the Colts playing from behind after three consecutive games with nine carries, but his workload projects to swing back up Sunday against the Bengals. The backup running back's new injury is a cause for concern, but those concerns can be alleviated if Wilkins is able to upgrade to a full practice as the week progresses.

Role dries up Week 5
Wilkins carried once for one yard Sunday in the Colts' 32-23 loss to the Browns.
Analysis: Cleveland seized the lead with just under six minutes remaining in the second quarter and stayed ahead the rest of the way, resulting in the Colts largely abandoning the run game. Wilkins was a natural casualty of the game script, as he played just two snaps, his fewest since the Colts' lone other loss of the season Week 1 against the Jaguars. He should have a bigger role Week 6 if the Colts can roll to an early lead against the underdog Bengals.

Gets nine carries Sunday
Wilkins had nine carries for 15 yards and one reception for 16 yards on his only target in Sunday's win over Chicago.
Analysis: Wilkins played on 12 of the offense's 72 snaps while Nyheim Hines played on 25 snaps (and had nine carries and three receptions). Wilkins continues to get steady work behind starter Jonathan Taylor when the offense is focused on running the ball, as the Colts were most of Sunday's 19-11 win, with Hines used more in the passing game. Taylor remains the primary running back, but the workload (Taylor had 17 carries and played 33 snaps) was more balanced than usual Sunday.

Nine carries Sunday
Wilkins had nine carries for 39 yards and one reception for six yards on his lone target in Sunday's 36-7 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Last week, Wilkins didn't get most of his carries until later in the game when it became a blowout, but this week he was used as early as the second quarter. He played 16 snaps on offense while Nyheim Hines played 20 snaps. Wilkins is still likely the third option in the running game and likely to get more snaps than Hines when the Colts have a large lead. However, Jonathan Taylor remains the clear first option.

Sizable workload Sunday
Wilkins had nine carries for 40 yards in Sunday's win over the Vikings
Analysis: Wilkins played 17 snaps on offense compared to nine snaps for Nyheim Hines in backup duty behind Jonathan Taylor (49 snaps). Wilkins got most of his carries late in the game when it became a blowout, so he's still likely the third running back with Nyheim Hines likely ahead of him and more likely to get work on passing downs. Either way, Sunday's game showed that Taylor is likely to get the majority of touches in the backfield.

Climbs up depth chart
Wilkins is primed to be the Colts' No. 3 RB following news that Marlon Mack has suffered a torn Achilles, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Wilkins has a decent track record with 643 yards and three touchdowns on 111 carries over his first two years in the league, but when Mack went down Sunday against the Jaguars, Nyheim Hines and Jonathan Taylor carried the bulk of the workload. Wilkins, by contrast, saw just one offensive snap. That could change in Week 2 against Minnesota with a full week of preparation, but Hines and Taylor were both impressive and will likely still handle most of the touches.

Returns to practice Thursday
Wilkins (undisclosed) returned to practice Thursday, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.
Analysis: Wilkins got back out on the field after missing all practices earlier this week. The third-year running back finds himself towards the bottom of the totem pole on the running back depth chart, as he's competing with the likes of Marlon Mack, Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines for valuable reps throughout training camp.

Misses scrimmage
Wilkins did not participate in Monday's scrimmage at Lucas Oil Stadium with an undisclosed issue, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.
Analysis: The 2018 fifth-round pick eclipsed 300 rushing yards in each of his first two seasons as Indianapolis' secondary early-down back behind Marlon Mack, but the addition of second-round pick Jonathan Taylor significantly dampens his outlook for 2020. While it's not clear if he has suffered an injury, missing practice time won't help Wilkins get a larger role in the offense.

Drops on depth chart
Wilkins (knee) likely will enter training camp as the No. 4 running back on the depth chart, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.
Analysis: The 2018 fifth-round pick eclipsed 300 rushing yards in each of his first two seasons as Indianapolis' secondary early-down back behind Marlon Mack, but the addition of second-round pick Jonathan Taylor significantly dampens his outlook for 2020. Nyheim Hines is set to operate as the passing-down back, likely leaving scraps for Wilkins, barring an injury.

Scores twice in 2019
Wilkins (knee) finished the 2019 season with 51 rushes for 307 yards and two touchdowns while catching seven passes for 43 yards over 14 regular-season games.
Analysis: When Marlon Mack fractured his hand, Wilkins was in line for additional usage, but Johnathan Williams took over as the bell cow instead. Wilkins logged double-digit carries on just one occasion, but he averaged 6.0 yards per carry. The 25-year-old running back's knee injury doesn't appear to be an issue for 2020. He's under contract for next year as well, but his playing time will likely be inconsistent with Mack and Nyheim Hines returning as well.

Ruled out for Week 17
Wilkins (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Jaguars due to a knee injury, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.
Analysis: Wilkins was added to the injury report Thursday with an ankle issue, but it was a knee concern that limited his participation in practice Friday and prompted the Colts to hold him out of the season finale, With Wilkins sidelined, Nyheim Hines and Jonathan Williams could be in line to handle additional snaps behind top running back Marlon Mack.

Added to injury report
Wilkins (ankle) was limited in practice Thursday, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan reports.
Analysis: There's been no word on the severity of his ankle issue, but the fact Wilkins was added to the Colts' injury report Thursday is worth noting. The running back's participation level at practice Friday will be telling with regard to his availability for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Jaguars.

Salvages game late
Wilkins ran for 84 yards and a touchdown on nine carries during Sunday's 38-6 win over Carolina.
Analysis: Wilkins was having a ho-hum game heading into the final minutes of the game. He then ripped off a 38-yard scamper to the goal line and subsequently punched it in on the next play. The season ends next Sunday with a matchup against Jacksonville's 29th-ranked run defense, but Wilkins is a risky bet to take advantage of that matchup -- he's topped 25 yards just five times this season and has had double-digit touches just once in 2019.

Gets late touchdown
Wilkins rushed three times for 10 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 34-7 loss to the Saints. He also caught one of three targets for seven yards.
Analysis: Wilkins converted a one-yard touchdown run on Indy's final offensive series to salvage some late points. The tailback didn't do much else, but neither did starter Marlon Mack, who finished with 11 carries for 19 yards. Fortunately for both, Week 16's matchup comes against the Panthers, who've surrendered the third-most rushing yards this season.

Just one carry Sunday
Wilkins had just one carry for one yard and played just nine snaps on offense in Sunday's loss at Tampa Bay.
Analysis: He had a minor role thanks to the return of Marlon Mack from a broken hand. Wilkins may not get many touches this week against New Orleans behind Mack and Nyheim Hines.

Headed for rotational work
Coach Frank Reich suggested that Wilkins would be in line for a lesser role Sunday against the Buccaneers with lead running back Marlon Mack (hand) available to play, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports. "Not thinking a big pitch count," Reich said of Mack on Friday. "Even when he's humming, we don't hesitate to rotate those guys. We know Marlon's going to get the bulk of those carries. I'm anticipating that all four backs will dress. So it might be a little bit more of a rotation involved."
Analysis: Mack missed the Colts' past two games with the fractured hand, paving the way for both Jonathan Williams and Wilkins to see increased involvement on the ground. While Williams headlined the backfield in the Week 12 game in Houston, Wilkins -- who played just one snap versus the Texans -- led the rushing attack in last week's loss to the Titans, taking a season-high 11 carries for 47 yards while chipping in two catches for nine yards. Based on Reich's comments, it doesn't sound like Mack will…read more

Leads backfield
Wilkins carried the ball 11 times for 47 yards in the team's Week 13 loss to the Titans. He also hauled in two passes for nine yards.
Analysis: After logging just one offensive snap in the team's Week 12 contest against the Texans, Wilkins led the team in both carries and rushing yards in Week 13. His performance wasn't particularly noteworthy, as he gained seven and 15 yards on his first two carries, respectively, but then failed to gain more than five yards on the ground until his final rush, halfway through the fourth quarter. Though his workload was a positive, Wilkins and the Colts' backfield will have a tough matchup against the…read more

Role could increase
Coach Frank Reich said Wednesday that he intends to get Wilkins more involved in the offense going forward, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
Analysis: Reich said Wilkins was only considered to be an emergency option in the Week 12 loss to the Texans, during which he played just one offensive snap. It's possible the second-year pro could see an increased role Sunday against Tennessee with Marlon Mack (hand) already ruled out, but Wilkins is unlikely to receive enough touches to warrant fantasy consideration behind Jonathan Williams and Nyheim Hines.

Logs one snap on offense Thursday
Wilkins logged just one snap on offense in Thursday's 20-17 loss to the Texans.
Analysis: Wilkins -- who missed Week 11's win over the Jaguars due to an ankle injury -- was, however, healthy enough to see action on 12 special-teams snaps. With starter Marlon Mack (hand) out Thursday, it was Jonathan Williams who headed the Colts' backfield, racking up 104 yards on 26 carries (including a TD) and adding three catches for 17 yards. Meanwhile, change-of-pace man Nyheim Hines rushed nine times for 51 yards and hauled in two passes for 10 yards. Even if Mack misses additional time,…read more

Cleared to play
Wilkins (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation into Thursday's game against the Texans.
Analysis: With lead back Marlon Mack (hand) out indefinitely, Jonathan Williams and Wilkins are in line to serve as the top options in the Colts' Week 12 rushing attack, with Nyheim Hines slated to work in a change-of-pace role. It's the sort of timeshare that makes Wilkins a hit-or-miss fantasy proposition this week, but he's at least an option for those in need of running back due to injury or bye-week issues.

Gets 'limited' tag on report
Wilkins (ankle) was listed as a limited participant Tuesday on the Colts' estimated practice report.
Analysis: Since the Colts only staged a walk-through session Tuesday, Wilkins' limited listing shouldn't be taken as evidence that he tested out his injured ankle in any drills. That being said, Indianapolis' decision to upgrade Wilkins from no participation Monday to limited participation on the estimated report leaves the door open for him to return from a one-game absence Thursday versus the Texans. If Wilkins is active in Week 12, he and Jonathan Williams would both be looking at enhanced workloads…read more

'DNP' on estimated report
Wilkins (ankle) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report.
Analysis: After defeating the Jaguars a day earlier, the Colts only staged a walk-through session Monday rather than an actual practice. More clarity on Wilkins' status for Week 12 could come based on what he's able to do at Tuesday's practice, but the second-year player can't be considered a lock to play Thursday versus the Texans at this stage.

Heightened role awaits
Coach Frank Reich said Monday that Wilkins (ankle) and Jonathan Williams will likely split most of the work available in the backfield while Marlon Mack (hand) is out indefinitely, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Analysis: After undergoing surgery to repair the fractured right hand he sustained in Sunday's 33-13 win over the Jaguars, Mack has already been ruled out for the Colts' Week 12 game against the Texans and will most likely miss a few more contests beyond that. With Wilkins' own ankle issue keeping him inactive Sunday, Williams shouldered the load effectively, rushing 13 times for 116 yards and taking his lone reception for a 31-yard gain. That strong outing may give Williams a leg up over Wilkins in…read more

Wilkins (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars.
Analysis: Wilkins will miss the first game of his two-year career. The depth running back has rushed 27 times for 165 yards this year while catching four of five targets for 27 yards. In Wilkins' stead, Nyheim Hines and Jonathan Williams are set to rotate in behind backfield-leader Marlon Mack.

Wilkins (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.

Analysis: Wilkins appears on track for a "DNP" designation on Thursday's practice report, putting his chances of suiting up versus the Jaguars on Sunday in legitimate jeopardy. He hasn't practiced in any capacity since suffering an ankle injury Week 10 versus the Dolphins. Jonathan Williams would slot in as Indianapolis' No. 3 running back if Wilkins were forced to miss any time.

Analysis: Wilkins was forced out of Sunday's loss to the Dolphins in the third quarter due to an ankle issue. He'll have two more opportunities to participate in practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars. In the event Wilkins was forced to miss any time, Nyheim Hines and Jonathan Williams would be candidates to see increased roles behind No. 1 running back Marlon Mack.
