Colts running back Jonathan Taylor plans to test his surgically-repaired right thumb in practice this week with the goal of returning for Sunday's game against the Falcons. Taylor's availability will depend on his ability to protect the ball in traffic. He has missed the past three games, with the Colts going 2-1 in his absence. Taylor sustained a torn ligament in his right thumb in a game against the Buccaneers and underwent surgery. His return could be a big boost for the Colts as they push for a playoff spot.
