Jonathan Taylor's absence has plagued the Colts' backfield. Zack Moss broke his arm in training camp.
Besides Moss, Indianapolis' only backup is unlikely to return this season.
Evan Hull's rookie season may finish early after being placed on IR last week. Jordan Schultz of The Score writes that the fifth-round pick tore his meniscus and will miss the season.
Hull was the Colts' alternate backfield in Week 1 with Taylor on the reserve/PUP list and Moss out.
Hull played eight snaps with Deon Jackson in Indy's opener. A third-quarter carry was cut short by a knee injury. Therefore, the Colts must make additional backfield modifications.
Hull caught 55 receptions for 546 yards in his final Northwestern season. His rookie contract ends in 2026.
