Colts' DJ Giddens: Inactive Sunday
Giddens is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans.
With Giddens the odd man out in the Colts' Week 8 backfield, Ameer Abdullah and Tyler Goodson (in his return from a groin injury) are available to work behind Jonathan Taylor versus Tennessee.

Colts' DJ Giddens: Light snap count Sunday
Giddens didn't receive a carry or target while playingthree snaps on offense in Sunday's 38-24 win over the Chargers.
Giddens appears to have been bypassed by Ameer Abdullah for the No. 2 spot out of the backfield behind Jonathan Taylor. Abdullah played five snaps and had two carries for 19 yards, including a rush early in the third quarter. The Colts will eventually get Tyler Goodson (groin) back from injury, which could push Giddens further down the depth chart.

Colts' DJ Giddens: Just two snaps on offense
Giddens did not have a carry nor was targeted in the passing game in Sunday's win over Arizona. He played just two snaps on offense.
It was surprisingly Ameer Abdullah who had both a carry and a reception in the game, although the veteran RB played only three snaps on offense. Giddens is still likely the running back who would get the most work if Jonathan Taylor were to get hurt, though Tyler Goodson has been sidelined with a groin injury and could factor in once he's healthy. Either way, Taylor is getting almost every touch in the backfield in non-blowouts, and that doesn't look likely to change.

Colts' DJ Giddens: Gets five carries in blowout win
Giddens had five carries for 22 yards and no receptions with a drop on his one target in Sunday's win over Las Vegas.
Giddens played on nine of the offense's 66 snaps. He was used in the second quarter before the game became a blowout, which was encouraging as the Colts had gone several games without giving starter Jonathan Taylor any rest in a close game. However, Giddens dropped a catchable ball on the offense's second series. Ameer Abdullah did score a rushing touchdown late in the game, but he's a clear third or fourth option in the backfield as he got time in a blowout win.

Colts' DJ Giddens: Plays just four snaps in loss
Giddens did not have a carry or target in Sunday's loss at the Rams. He played just four snaps on offense.
Jonathan Taylor against got almost every touch in the backfield as Tyler Goodson had one reception for no gain and played four snaps. Goodson left the game with a groin injury, so Giddens could be the exclusive backup running back next week against Las Vegas. However, Taylor is getting almost every snap in the backfield with the Colts making little effort to work in any backups.

Colts' DJ Giddens: Just one carry in win
Giddens had one carry for three yards in Sunday's win at Tennessee.
Giddens played just eight snaps on offense. Tyler Goodson made his regular-season debut after missing the first two games due to an elbow injury and played four snaps and had two carries for six yards. It's not clear who is Taylor's primary backup as Goodson could be used in more passing situations, but neither backup is getting much usage as Taylor again got almost all the opportunities (17 carries and four targets) and played on 77 percent of the offense's snaps.

Colts' DJ Giddens: Small role in Week 2
Giddens did not have a carry and did not catch his lone target in Sunday's win over the Broncos. He played just five snaps on offense.
Giddens had 12 carries in Indy's Week 1 win, and it appeared he'd get regular duty to spell Jonathan Taylor. However, Taylor got every carry (25) among Colts running backs Sunday, showing the coaching staff isn't overly concerned with giving him rest in close games.

Colts' DJ Giddens: Gets 12 carries in Colts debut
Giddens had 12 carries for 41 yards in Sunday's win over Miami.
Giddens took over for Jonathan Taylor for a series in the third quarter when he needed a rest and didn't look overmatched in his Colts debut. Giddens looks like he could get consistent touches to spell Taylor during games, but the return of Tyler Goodson (elbow) as early as next week could divide the backup touches in the backfield.
