Colts RB DJ Giddens (knee) was added to the injury report and did not practice on Thursday. 2026-09-17 16:00:02 He did not play behind Seth McGowan in Week 1 and neither of them have fantasy value while Jonathan Taylor is healthy. |

Colts RB DJ Giddens (hamstring) returned to practice Tuesday. 2026-08-25 12:00:02 Giddens has been sidelined for weeks with a severe hamstring injury. His return comes a few weeks ahead of the Colts’ regular season opener against the Ravens. Giddens as a rookie in 2025 had 96 yards on 26 carries, appearing in nine games for the Colts. He’ll battle Seth McGowan for RB2 duties this season behind Jonathan Taylor. |

The Athletic’s James Boyd left DJ Giddens off his 53-man roster projection. 2026-08-18 16:00:01 It’s been hard to find a good word from a beat on Giddens this offseason, so this isn’t an overly surprising conclusion to see listed out. He’s been sidelined for most of camp with a hamstring injury. The Colts look like they’ll keep Seth McGowan as their main backup to Jonathan Taylor. In this projection, Giddens loses the third running back spot to Ulysses Bentley IV. |

Colts RB DJ Giddens (hamstring) didn’t practice Saturday. 2026-08-09 02:14:12 Giddens appeared to have the inside track on the No. 2 RB job behind Jonathan Taylor at the end of July. With Taylor out looking for a new contract, Giddens took the majority of first-team reps during minicamp. Now Giddens is out dealing with a hamstring injury and seventh-round rookie Seth McGowan is getting the reps behind Taylor. It could be an uphill battle for Giddens, who the Colts selected in the fifth-round in 2025, once he returns from injury. |

The Athletic’s James Boyd believes DJ Giddens and Seth McGowan are “poised to compete for the backup role” on the Colts running back depth chart. 2026-05-03 11:00:03 With Tyler Goodson gone, Giddens is the incumbent and has the higher draft capital, so we’re surprised to see a beat writer giving some leeway to the idea that McGowan could be the backup right away. Neither player figures to play much without a Jonathan Taylor injury, but they could be interesting contingency holds in deeper leagues. |
