Colts' Deon Jackson sidelined by knee injury
Indianapolis Colts running back Deon Jackson (knee) did not practice on Thursday.
What It Means:
Jackson started in place of Jonathan Taylor (ankle) last week, but he's trending toward missing Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Taylor was upgraded to a full practice on Thursday and he's expected to return to workhorse duties in Week 10, so Zack Moss will be in the backup role if Jackson is out.
numberFire's models project Jackson for 6.8 touches and 30.8 yards on Sunday, but that volume will mostly go to Moss if Jackson is out. The Raiders are allowing the seventh-most FanDuel points per game to running backs this season, compared to their run defense being No. 11 in numberFire's adjusted team metrics.
