Following the Vikings’ loss on Saturday, Taylor was diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain. He has been given indefinite leave and will not be able to return until 2022.
Colts placed RB Jonathan Taylor on IR. He’s out for the season. So he officially will not play against #Chargers on Monday night.

2. Najee Harris
UPDATE (DEC. 24): Harris (hip) practiced fully on Thursday and does not have an injury designation for Saturday’s game against the Raiders, according to Teresa Varley of the Steelers’ official website.
The Steelers issued an estimated injury report because they did not practice on Tuesday, and Harris (hip) was listed as a limited participant. At this rate, he’ll be ready in Week 16. Nonetheless, fantasy managers should keep a close eye on his situation.

4. Nick Chubb
Chubb (foot) was absent from practice on Tuesday. While it is early in the week, the absence of the star running back raises concerns about his availability for Saturday’s game against the Saints. If Chubb is unable to play due to New Orleans’ recent struggles defending the run, Kareem Hunt would be a mid-range RB2.
