INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indianapolis Colts will activate All-Pro running back Jonathan Taylor this week and he could play Sunday against Tennessee. Coach Shane Steichen told reporters Monday he expects Taylor to practice starting Wednesday and the team will then evaluate whether he's ready to start playing in games. The former Wisconsin Badgers and New Jersey prep star missed all of the Colts offseason workouts following offseason ankle surgery and spent all of training camp and the first four weeks of the regular season on the PUP list. Taylor, the 2021 NFL rushing champ who rushed for nearly 3,000 combined yards in his first two seasons, has been mired in an ugly contact dispute with the team. Steichen said he has been speaking with Taylor regularly and that his top rusher is eager to get back to work.

Missouri and Texas A&M were the first teams to join the SEC in 20 years. Financial benefits and concerns about conference stability lured Boston College to become the A.C.C.’s 12th member in 2005. Penn State, one of the last major programs to remain independent, became the Big Ten’s 11th member in 1993, setting off a wave of realignment across college football. The Missouri Valley Conference stopped sponsoring football after the 1985 season. Arkansas departed for the SEC in 1991, signaling the beginning of the end for the Southwest Conference, long associated with N.C.A.A.

Family and friends of three college football players, gunned down at the University of Virginia, called their slayings "heartbreaking and tragic." This is my firstborn child,” he said, adding that his son who could “light up a room just with a smile” was focused on school, football and his family. Their family, from Charleston, South Carolina, was heading to the UVA campus Monday. “It is heartbreaking and tragic that Devin’s young life was cut short by violence," Wisconsin Athletic Director Chris McIntosh said in a statement. Chandler still had plenty of friends in Madison and Sunday's fatal shooting will be felt throughout the program, Wisconsin officials said.
