Shane Steichen, the Colts' offensive coordinator, is being considered for Coach of the Year due to his management of the team amidst injuries. The team is cautiously handling Jonathan Taylor's injury, which affects his right hand, and they are uncertain about the duration of his absence. Despite this setback, Steichen is confident in the team's in-house running back options. Colts owner Jim Irsay has mentioned a 2-3 week recovery period for Taylor. Despite the challenges, the Colts have continued to perform well under Steichen's leadership.

Irsay put the timetable for Taylor's return at 2-3 weeks.
The Colts are not considering an IR stint for Taylor, Steichen says.
Steichen: IR not being considered at this point for JT. Irsay mentioned a 2-3 week recovery.
From a ball security and pass protection standpoint, the Colts determined that Taylor's hand would have been a liability if he'd played through it.
Steichen says that as we get deeper into the season, there will probably be a lot of walk-throughs on Wednesday, the way the Colts are handling today.
The injury is to Taylor's right hand, Steichen says.
Shane Steichen says Colts aren't sure how long Taylor will be out.
Colts Shane Steichen: Jonathan Taylor. How much time he will miss? Not really sure. Hopefully back sooner than later.
