News

  • Lands on IR

    Mack (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: Mack injured his hamstring in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs, and he was not expected to recover in time to play Week 18 against the Chargers. His move to IR ensures he won't, while also creating room for cornerback Ja'Quan McMillian to be added to the active roster. Mack's season will end with him having appeared in eight games, two with the 49ers and six with the Broncos, seeing 16 carries for 84 yards and a touchdown. He also caught eight of his 10 targets for 99 yards and another touchdown.

  • Not expected to play Sunday

    Mack is expected to miss the Broncos' season finale against the Chargers on Sunday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

    Analysis: Per Klis, Mack injured his hamstring on a kickoff return at the start of the Broncos' Week 17 loss to the Chiefs. With Mack reportedly not in line to play this coming weekend, Tyler Badie figures to suit up versus Los Angeles and log complementary snaps behind Latavius Murray and Chase Edmonds.

  • Injures hamstring Sunday

    Mack suffered a hamstring injury during Sunday's game at Kansas City.

    Analysis: Prior to his departure in the first quarter, Mack had one kick return for 20 yards. The Broncos are down to just Latavius Murray and Chase Edmonds at running back as long as Mack is sidelined.

  • Minimal involvement in loss

    Mack rushed four times for 22 yards in Sunday's 51-14 loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: Mack was unable to secure his lone target in the contest. With Chase Edmonds making his return from injured reserve, Mack was relegated to No. 3 running back duties Sunday. The veteran played just 10 of the Broncos' 67 offensive snaps, while Latavius Murray and Edmonds handled a near even split of playing time with 31 and 28 snaps, respectively. Mack's lack of involvement on an already struggling offense should keep him far off the fantasy radar when the Broncos visit the Chiefs in Week 17.

  • Finds end zone again

    Mack rushed five times for 37 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-15 win over Arizona. He added four receptions on four targets for 26 yards.

    Analysis: Mack worked clearly behind Latavius Murray in the Denver backfield, recording only nine touches compared to Murray's 25. However, Mack was able to provide a few explosive plays, highlighted by a three-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter and a 17-yard run early in the fourth. While Mack's role remains relatively minimal, he is the clear backup running back in Denver and has scored in consecutive contests.

  • Dazzling TD in Sunday's loss

    Mack carried the ball three times for 15 yards and caught two of three targets for 62 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-28 loss to Kansas City.

    Analysis: The veteran back didn't see action until Mike Boone was carted off with an ankle injury in the second quarter, but Mack capitalized on his opportunity by taking a screen pass from Russell Wilson (concussion) 66 yards for a TD on the Broncos' first possession of the second half. It was Mack's first trip to the end zone since 2019, his final healthy season with the Colts, and the explosiveness he flashed on the touchdown was certainly reminiscent of that 1,000-yard campaign. Regardless of Boone's…read more

  • Minimal involvement in loss

    Mack rushed two times for three yards and secured his only target for six yards in Sunday's 10-9 loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: Mack played just five of the Broncos' 53 offensive snaps Sunday, operating as the No. 3 running back. The veteran recorded two rushes and one catch in each of his first two games with Denver. With Latavius Murray dominating touches out of the backfield and Mike Boone slotting in as the team's top backup, Mack's opportunities for meaningful production should remain limited going forward. Barring injuries to Murray and Boone, the 26-year-old should be far off the fantasy radar when the Broncos…read more

  • Handles two carries in loss

    Mack rushed two times for seven yards and secured his only target for five yards in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Panthers.

    Analysis: Mack played just six of Denver's 60 offensive snaps in his debut with the Broncos, operating as the backup to Latavius Murray. The veteran running back's three touches out of the backfield were a distant second behind Murray's 14 touches in the contest. Mack's limited upside in a struggling offense could be capped even more with Mike Boone's possible return from injured reserve in Week 13. Nonetheless, the 26-year-old Mack will try to establish himself as a contributor in the Broncos' new-look…read more

  • Should have role in Denver debut

    Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett said Friday that Mack will have a role in the game plan in Sunday's matchup with the Panthers, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports. "He's going to have to go in there and take advantage of this opportunity...he's got a little extra burst," Hackett said of Mack.

    Analysis: Denver signed Mack off San Francisco's practice squad Oct. 24, but the veteran running back has been a healthy inactive for each of the Broncos' subsequent three contests. However, with the Broncos waiving Melvin Gordon and placing Chase Edmonds (ankle) on injured reserve in recent days, Mack looks set to operate as the primary backup to starter Latavius Murray in Week 12. Though Murray projects to see most of the touches out of the backfield, he's averaging just 3.3 yards per carry through…read more

  • Could be Week 12 backup

    Mack is likely to work as the backup to Latavius Murray in Week 12 against the Panthers, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

    Analysis: Mack slides up to second on the depth chart following the cut of Melvin Gordon and Chase Edmonds' high-ankle sprain. Devine Ozigbo is a candidate to be elevated from the practice squad against Carolina to compete with Mack for playing time behind Murray. Mack has yet to register a rushing attempt in 2022.

  • Sitting out Sunday

    Mack (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Titans.

    Analysis: Mack will be inactive once again, as the team will dress Melvin Gordon, Latavius Murray and Chase Edmonds ahead of him.

  • Not playing Week 8

    Mack (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: Though Mike Boone's (ankle) recent move to injured reserve opens up a spot for a third running back in Denver, Mack looks like he'll have to wait until after a Week 9 bye to make his Broncos debut after he was signed off the 49ers' practice squad Monday. Mack's lack of utility on special teams may have been a factor in him sitting out in London, as the Broncos are opting to keep Devine Ozigbo active in London as the No. 3 option behind Melvin Gordon and Latavius Murray.

  • Could play in Week 8

    Mack could garner some snaps in the Broncos' backfield in Week 8 against the Jaguars, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Analysis: Mack was signed to the Broncos' active roster Monday after the team acquired him from the 49ers' practice squad, and head coach Nathaniel Hackett said Friday that the running back is "definitely an option" to play Sunday versus Jacksonville. Mack will likely operate as the third fiddle behind Melvin Gordon and Latavius Murray in Week 8, greatly limiting his upside.

  • Links up with Broncos

    Denver signed Mack to the active roster off the 49ers' practice squad Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Mack is set to fly with his new team to London on Monday in preparation for a Week 8 matchup against the Jaguars. The veteran's chance in Denver comes following an ankle injury to Mike Boone, the severity of which has yet to be determined. If Boone can't go versus Jacksonville on Sunday, Mack could see work in a backfield led by Melvin Gordon and Latavius Murray.

  • Signs with 49ers' practice squad

    Mack was signed to the 49ers' practice squad Wednesday.

    Analysis: Mack will return to 49ers after being released by the team Tuesday, joining their practice unit. The running back seems to have fallen out of favor in San Francisco's backfield and will now operate as an extreme depth option behind starter Jeff Wilson.

  • Time with 49ers ends

    Mack was released by San Francisco on Tuesday.

    Analysis: Mack signed to the 49ers' practice squad Sept. 13, and he ultimately made it to the active roster in Week 3 and 4, but he only contributed five snaps on special teams. He was a healthy inactive Week 5, as the team opted to elevate Tevin Coleman from the practice squad to operate as the team's No. 3 running back instead. Mack has had trouble finding a steady role since suffering an Achilles tear in Week 1 of the 2020 season.

  • Healthy inactive Week 5

    Mack (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 5 clash against the Panthers.

    Analysis: The veteran back garnered active status for the last two games but logged only a combined five special-teams snaps, and he'll now sit out altogether Sunday. In his stead, Tevin Coleman, who was promoted from the practice squad Saturday, will serve as the No. 3 running back behind Jeff Wilson and Jordan Mason against Carolina.

  • No touches in first game with SF

    Mack was only on the field for three special teams snaps in Sunday's 11-10 loss to Denver.

    Analysis: Mack was signed from the practice squad to replace the injured Tyrion Davis-Price and serve as the team's third back. The former Colt didn't get involved in the offensive game plan, but the veteran's track record of success (1,999 combined rushing yards and 17 touchdowns in 2018 and 2019) could see him jump ahead of undrafted rookie Jordan Mason (five offensive snaps) as Jeff Wilson's backup while Davis-Price recovers from an ankle injury. Neither backup is worth rostering in fantasy so long as…read more

  • Signed to San Fran's active roster

    The 49ers signed Mack to the active roster from their practice squad Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Mack will get the promotion after news broke that rookie third-round pick Tyrion Davis-Price (ankle) will be sidelined for a few weeks. The team already lost Elijah Mitchell (knee) to injured reserve, so Mack will compete with undrafted rookie Jordan Mason for backup snaps behind Jeff Wilson. The former Colt has amassed at least 1,000 yards from scrimmage twice in his career, but he's struggled to stick in the NFL since he suffered a torn Achilles tendon in September 2020.

  • Finds work in San Francisco

    The 49ers signed Mack to their practice squad Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: With two seasons in which he amassed at least 1,000 yards from scrimmage on his resume, Mack is a big name as far as practice-squad players go, but he's struggled to stick in the NFL since he suffered a torn Achilles tendon in September 2020. Though Mack gained full clearance from the injury ahead of training camp last summer, he showed little explosiveness (3.6 yards per carry on 28 totes) during his time with the Colts in 2021 and often found himself as a healthy inactive.

  • Cut from practice squad

    The Texans released Mack from the practice squad Monday, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Mack was cut from the practice squad to make room for Chris Conley. Mack once appeared to be a candidate to win the starting role in Houston's backfield, but he now may have to search for a depth opportunity elsewhere in the league. Rookie fourth-round pick Dameon Pierce looks primed to start Week 1 against the Colts for the Texans.

  • Joins Houston's practice squad

    The Texans officially signed Mack to their practice squad Wednesday.

    Analysis: Mack was among Houston's roster cuts Tuesday, but now that he's back with the organization in some capacity, he'll be eligible for elevation to the active roster Week 1 and beyond. With rookie fourth-round pick Dameon Pierce poised to lead the backfield, Mack would be vying for snaps with Rex Burkhead and Dare Ogunbowale for any games in which he's active.

  • Will join Houston's practice squad

    Mack plans to sign with the Texans' practice squad upon clearing waivers Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Mack was a surprising roster cut Tuesday, but he looks poised to remain a backfield option for Houston after all. For now, Dameon Pierce and Rex Burkhead are the top available options on the team's 53-man roster, but if Mack indeed lands on the team's practice squad, he'll be eligible for elevation whenever the Texans require an additional option in the backfield.

    The Texans are releasing Mack, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

    Analysis: Mack seemingly entered camp with a shot at the starting job but fell behind rookie fourth-round pick Dameon Pierce, who is headed for the lead role Week 1 against Indianapolis. The 26-year-old Mack has only 32 carries and five catches since running for over 1,000 yards in 2019.

  • Works in second half Thursday

    Mack had 10 carries for 55 yards during Thursday's preseason win against the 49ers.

    Analysis: After starting the Texans' first two exhibitions, Mack didn't take the field until the second half of preseason Week 3, yielding the start to rookie fourth-round pick Dameon Pierce (six rushes for 37 yards and one TD). Rex Burkhead also got run in the first half en route to 11 touches for 31 yards from scrimmage. It's unclear if this signifies a change in the pecking order of Houston's backfield, and it also should be noted Mack's healthy 5.5 YPC occurred against San Francisco's reserve…read more

  • Solid in Friday start

    Mack rushed eight times for 29 yards in the Texans' 24-20 preseason win over the Rams on Friday night.

    Analysis: Mack drew the start while rookie Dameon Pierce was held out of action, and the veteran was able to put in a more productive showing than his three-carry, six-yard tally during the preseason opener against the Saints on Saturday. Pierce was much more explosive during his time on the field versus New Orleans, however, and perhaps Mack's extended playing time Friday was head coach Lovie Smith's attempt to give him ample opportunity in game action after the combination of an Achilles injury and…read more

    Mack carried the ball three times for six yards in Saturday's 17-13 preseason win over the Saints.

    Analysis: Mack drew the start at running back with the Texans' first-team offense on the field for the opening two series, but only one of his three carries went for more than three yards as the unit struggled to move the ball early. Rookie fourth-rounder Dameon Pierce eventually impressed as he paced the backfield with five rushes for 49 yards while Mack looked on, which could help the former earn some run with the ones this coming Friday against the Rams.

    Mack is slated to play in Saturday's preseason contest versus the Saints, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

    Analysis: Meanwhile, Rex Burkhead is not expected to suit up. Notably, Mack was listed as the top running back on the Texans' first unofficial depth chart, so it stands to reason the coaching staff may hold a different view on the situation. In any case, rookie fourth-rounder Dameon Pierce will sub in for Mack and likely get a fair amount of action before halftime, while the team's remaining healthy RBs are Dare Ogunbowale, Royce Freeman and BJ Emmons.

  • Atop depth chart with Burkhead

    Mack and Rex Burkhead are listed as the first running backs on the Texans' unofficial depth chart for the preseason opener against the Saints on Saturday, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: The two veterans lead the position group, with Mack's name listed first. It was presumed the former Colt would be the team's lead back, but the Texans want to see him prove it during preseason game action, as Mack is coming off an Achilles injury that wiped out his 2020 season and was used sparingly (six games, 57 snaps) in 2021. Dameon Pierce, a 2022 fourth-round pick out of Florida, is third in line.

  • Confident in Achilles

    Mack said he fully trusts his Achilles and did not get a chance to show how healthy he was in 2021 with the Colts, Aaron Wilson of Pro Football Network reports.

    Analysis: Mack suffered an Achilles injury that wiped out most of his 2020 season, and by the time he was healthy last season, the lead-back job in Indianapolis was in the capable hands of Jonathan Taylor. Mack played just six games and had 28 carries for 101 yards last season, but the five-year veteran gets a chance to show off his health as the perceived lead back for Houston, which is expected to run often in 2022. Along with Mack, Rex Burkhead and Dameon Pierce round out the top of the depth chart.

  • Competing for role

    Mack is competing with Rex Burkhead, Dameon Pierce and other running backs for roles in the Houston backfield, Drew Dougherty of houstontexans.com reports.

    Analysis: Pierce reportedly is making a strong impression, but it seems like a wide-open competition, and Mack is the only one with experience working as an NFL lead back. That was years ago, of course, and he's taken only 28 regular-season carries since suffering an Achilles tear in Week 1 of 2020 with the Colts. Mack did run for 908 yards and nine touchdowns in 2018 (195 carries - 4.7 YPC), followed by 1,091 yards and eight TDs in 2019 (247 carries - 4.4 YPC).

  • Heading to Houston

    The Texans and Mack agreed to a contract Friday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: A fourth-round pick of the Colts in 2017, Mack worked his way to the top of the depth chart at running back in his second and third seasons, combining for 1,999 yards and 17 touchdowns on the ground between 2018 and 2019. Indianapolis then selected Jonathan Taylor in the second round of the 2020 Draft, which was followed by Mack tearing his Achilles in Week 1 of that campaign. Mack only appeared in six games last year, averaging 3.6 yards on his 28 carries, and otherwise was a healthy scratch…read more

  • Ends year as No. 4 on depth chart

    Mack rushed 28 times for 101 yards while securing two of five targets for eight yards across six appearances in 2021.

    Analysis: The 25-year-old began the 2021 campaign as the Colts' No. 3 running back behind Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines, but he saw limited playing time early in the season. Mack and the Colts mutually agreed to seek a trade in late September, but a trade partner wasn't found. The 2017 fourth-rounder didn't appear in any of the final nine games of the season, mainly due to being a healthy scratch. Mack is slated to become an unrestricted free agent during the offseason, and it wouldn't be surprising…read more

    The Colts activated Mack (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday.

    Analysis: Mack landed on the list Monday but was able to clear the NFL's return-to-play protocols in timely fashion. The 25-year-old has been a healthy scratch since Week 8, and he's unlikely to see the field Sunday against the Raiders if the rest of the Indianapolis backfield remains in good health.

    Analysis: As long as Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines are healthy and available to lead the Colts' backfield, Mack will remain the odd man out of the mix on a weekly basis.

  • Stays put at trade deadline

    Mack wasn't moved to another team ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline, despite he and the Colts mutually agreeing to seek a deal elsewhere, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

    Analysis: A quiet market for running backs was ultimately a major factor in Mack remaining in Indianapolis once the deadline passed. After playing just one snap on offense in last week's loss to the Titans, Mack will likely continue to fill a small role on offense unless Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines were to miss time. Mack hasn't given any indications that he'll ask for his release after not being traded.

  • Just three carries Sunday

    Mack had three carries for four yards in Sunday's 30-18 win at San Francisco.

    Analysis: Mack played on just four snaps on offense as his small role was slightly lower than his past three games because Jonathan Taylor was on a roll (18 carries for 107 yards). The larger question for Mack's fantasy value is whether he's moved before the Nov. 2 trade deadline because Mack and the Colts mutually agreed to seek a trade three weeks ago.

    Mack had five carries for 12 yards in Sunday's win over Houston.

    Analysis: Mack played nine snaps and got some work in a blowout win. It looks like Mack will continue to get about five carries a game in a reserve role. He's also a candidate to be traded after Mack and the Colts mutually agreed to seek a trade two weeks ago.

  • Has 47 yards rushing

    Mack had five carries for 47 yards and one reception for seven yards on two targets in Monday's loss to Baltimore.

    Analysis: Mack played just 10 snaps on offense with both Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines healthy. Last week, head coach Frank Reich said he ideally would give Mack five carries a week, which seems odd given his spot on the depth chart and with him demanding a trade two weeks ago. Still, it looks like he may continue to see a steady, but small, role in the offense, usage which could be intended to showcase him for a team in need of backfield help.

  • Gets 10 carries Sunday

    Mack had 10 carries for 22 yards and one reception on two targets for one yard in Sunday's win at Miami. "In my mind, the starting point is Jonathan [Taylor] with 20 carries, Nyheim with five and Marlon [Mack] with five,'' Frank Reich told Fox 59 TV Indianapolis after the game. "But there's give-and-take depending on how the game goes.''

    Analysis: Mack had received just five carries Week 2 and no touches the other two weeks. He got more carries in a game where the Colts were rushing the ball well (Taylor had 103 yards), which makes sense. However, it's a little odd Mack had increased usage, and Reich gave him a vote of confidence just days after Mack and the Colts mutually agreed to seek a trade. Unless he's traded to a team with a need at running back, Mack is still likely to have a minimal role off the bench unless Taylor or Nyheim…read more

    Analysis: As is Jonathan Taylor, who has been managing a knee issue, as well as change-of-pace back Nyheim Hines. In that context, Mack and Jordan Wilkins are on hand in reserve, but they don't appear destined for high-volume roles in Week 4, barring in-game developments that would change that.

  • Gets first carries of season

    Mack had five carries for 16 yards and didn't have a reception on his lone target in Sunday's loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: Mack didn't play Week 1, despite being healthy, so this is a positive step, despite his small role. He played 12 snaps on offense compared to 25 snaps for Nyheim Hines and 30 snaps for Jonathan Taylor. Mack's role could increase, but he'll still be the distant third option in the Indy backfield if the top two backs are healthy.

    Mack was active but did not play in Sunday's loss to Seattle.

    Analysis: Mack returned from a season-ending Achilles tendon tear suffered in Week 1 of last year, but he's clearly behind Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines on the depth chart. Still, it's somewhat surprising Mack didn't get any action in the game because he's said to be back to full strength. It likely will take an injury to Taylor or Hines for Mack to have a significant role.

    Mack is listed as the No. 3 running back behind Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines on the Colts' unofficial Week 1 depth chart released Tuesday, JJ Stankevitz of the Colts' official site reports.

    Analysis: While Mack is the most likely candidate to take over as the Colts' early-down back in the event Taylor misses time in 2021, Hines is expected to have more involvement in Indianapolis' weekly game plan in light of his status as the team's top pass-catching option out of the backfield. With that in mind, Hines' presence ahead of Mack on the depth chart comes as little surprise, since Hines projects to play more snaps and hold more fantasy value than Mack -- particularly in PPR formats -- while…read more

  • Five touches in preseason debut

    Mack (Achilles) rushed four times for 12 yards and caught one pass for three more yards in Sunday's 21-18 preseason win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: Mack has been recovering from a ruptured Achilles tendon that happened back in Week 1 of the 2020 season. The fact that the veteran back was even out there in the first preseason contest is a positive sign that his leg is back to 100 percent. In his absence, Jonathan Taylor took over as the Colts' workhorse, which leaves Mack primarily as a backup rusher (with Nyheim Hines serving as the receiving back).

He suffered a ruptured right Achilles tendon Week 1 last year and missed the remainder of the season. If he's back to his pre-injury form, his role will be something to watch this summer, as it's not clear how the touches will be distributed in the Indy backfield other than Jonathan Taylor being the clear lead back.

    Analysis: Mack suffered a ruptured right Achilles' tendon in Week 1 last year and missed the remainder of the season. He appears to be on track for the start of training camp, but he's still taking things slowly this spring.

I don't know if we are going to be able to do that here." In Mack's absence this past season, Jonathan Taylor established himself as the Colts' top back, while Nyheim Hines and Jordan Wilkins worked in change-of-pace/complementary roles.

    Analysis: The severity of Mack's injury will no doubt cause him to miss the remainder of the 2020 season, leaving Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines in line to handle increased workloads out of the Indianapolis backfield.

    Coach Frank Reich noted Wednesday that Mack is still viewed as the Colts' starting running back, Andrew Walker of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: That said, with second-round draft pick Jonathan Taylor also in the mix, Reich continues to suggest that the team will likely employ a one-two backfield punch in 2020. Mack rushed for 1,091 yards last season while averaging 4.4 yards per carry, but Taylor's combination of skill and draft capital make him the favorite to eventually emerge with the lead role, even if a committee technically headed by Mack is how things proceed early on this season.

    Analysis: Ballard said that he texted Mack about the pick and Mack responded with "Let's go. Let's go win." Mack is entering the final season of his rookie contract and the team hadn't been talking to him about a contract extension, so this could be his last year with the Colts.

The 23-year-old was able to eclipse the 1,000-yard rushing mark for the first time in his career, proving that last year's modest breakout (908 yards and nine touchdowns over 12 games) was no fluke.

    Mack rushed 11 times for 19 yards and was not targeted in Monday night's 34-7 loss to the Saints.

When they did manage to get in scoring position, it was Jordan Wilkins who was handed a one-yard touchdown out of Indy's backfield. Although his team has now been eliminated from playoff contention, Mack at least has a favorable matchup in Week 16 versus the Panthers, who've allowed the third-most rushing yards this season.

That was his fifth touchdown of the season, and it salvaged an otherwise forgettable performance. Mack has now reached the 900-yard mark on the ground in consecutive seasons, and he'll serve as the Colts' featured back when the team visits New Orleans in Week 15.

In Mack's absence, Jordan Wilkins and Jonathan Williams have see added opportunities in the run game, while Nyheim Hines has remained the team's top pass-catching threat out of the backfield.

    Analysis: The running back broke his right hand Week 12 versus the Jaguars and hasn't practiced or played in the interim. On Monday, Reich also mentioned Mack made "good progress" last week, but it remains to be seen if it was enough to be cleared for on-field work. Wednesday's injury report could give the first indication that a return is possible Week 14.

There's still no definitive timeline, but coach Frank Reich isn't shy about tipping his hand early in the week.

    Analysis: Considering the fracture is to the hand in which Mack typically carries the ball, playing through the injury with a cast on a short week was never a realistic outcome. Though the Colts aren't providing an estimated timeline for Mack's return, the expectation is that he'll be sidelined for multiple games following surgery.
