DJ Giddens injury: status and who’s next up
Latest report: Week 8
DJ Giddens is not listed on the latest weekly injury report. He last carried a game designation in Week 2 (questionable, knee).
Being absent from a report is not confirmation that a player is healthy; teams report only what league rules require.
Where DJ Giddens fits in the Indianapolis Colts backfield
Jonathan Taylor starts and Seth McGowan is our published next man up. DJ Giddens sits further down the room, so his status matters most in a week when one of them is also unavailable.
Injury history
No significant reported injury absences since entering the league in 2025; his light usage reflects Jonathan Taylor's workload rather than health. A knee issue surfaced before Week 2 and he was listed questionable, then played. No current injury designation was located this cycle, and missing injury data does not establish health.
