Texans unlikely to pursue trade for Colts' Jonathan Taylor before deadline

Summary

The Houston Texans are navigating a challenging situation as the NFL trade deadline approaches. Despite interest in Colts' running back Jonathan Taylor, sources indicate the likelihood of a trade is low, particularly given the rivalry between the teams. The Texans may instead explore other running back options, including Saquon Barkley, though acquiring him may also pose challenges due to salary cap constraints. The Texans currently hold a 2-5 record and may benefit from bolstering their run game to improve their standings moving forward.
