Hines and Phillip Lindsay are expected to lead the Colts' rushing corps Thursday against the Broncos with Jonathan Taylor (ankle) ruled out for the Week 5 contest, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Hines, who has logged eight carries and 17 catches through his first four games, represents an alternative option to those who roster Taylor or are looking for some short-term backfield depth. Meanwhile, Lindsay will likely be elevated from the Colts' practice squad ahead of Thursday's contest and could also factor in Thursday. Deon Jackson is on hand as another depth option in the backfield.
