Colts RB Battle for Backup Role | Indianapolis Colts News
Description
The Indianapolis Colts’ backup running back race is heating up behind Jonathan Taylor, with DJ Giddens’ experience giving him an edge over rookie Seth McGowan and second-year Ulysses Bentley. Both Giddens and McGowan impressed in offseason workouts—Giddens with confidence, McGowan with relentless effort. The key to landing the backup role? Pass protection and special teams contributions. While Giddens has the offensive familiarity that Coach Steichen trusts, McGowan’s physicality caught Taylor’s attention. With Taylor carrying the load, this battle is about depth and situational reliability—not star power. Giddens looks the favorite, but the race is far from over.
