Colts running back Marlon Mack suffered a fracture in his right hand in Sunday’s 33-13 win over the Jaguars on Sunday. He underwent surgery on Monday and is out for at least one week.
The injury is a metacarpal fracture, which is relatively common. He will be able to play with a splint on his hand when he returns.
Mack suffered the injury early in the third quarter after he had already accumulated 109 rushing yards on 14 carries with a touchdown. Expect Jonathan Williams to slide into the starting role. On Sunday, he tallied 116 yards on 13 carries.
Jordan Wilkins, who was out Sunday’s game with an ankle injury, figures to be worked into the mix as well. Nyheim Hines will continue his role as a change-of-pace back.
