Marlon Mack (Achilles) '100 percent' at Colts camp
Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (Achilles) is "100 percent" to start training camp, per Zak Keefer of The Athletic.
What It Means:
Mack tore his Achilles in Week 1 last season and had been limited to individual work during team drills at previous offseason workouts. He may cut into Jonathan Taylor's workload a tad, but Mack is unlikely to see consistent touches unless Taylor suffers an injury. Nyheim Hines is expected to work as the Colts' passing-game specialist out of the backfield.
numberFire's models project Mack for 3.6 combined opportunities per game this season. He is averaging 0.06 Rushing Net Expected Points per carry for his career, while Taylor added 0.15 Rushing NEP per carry as a rookie. Mack could have a chance to take targets away from Hines, as he is only averaging 0.04 fewer career Reception NEP per target than his backfield mate.
