Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor returned to Saturday's crucial game against the Houston Texans in the fourth quarter after exiting the matchup in the third frame with a heel injury.

Taylor walked to the locker room before he was ruled as doubtful to return. He managed to return minutes later with around 6:00 left in the final quarter with Indianapolis down 23-17.

The former All-Pro tailback was putting on a show against Houston before exiting the matchup, rushing for 165 yards and one touchdown. He scored Indy's first touchdown of the matchup in the third quarter on a 49-yard run.

The Colts lost offensive tackle Braden Smith and cornerback JuJu Brents, who were both ruled out earlier in the game due to knee and hamstring injuries, respectively.
