The Indianapolis Colts chose not to re-sign Frank Gore this offseason, and they could be quite thin at the running back position to open the season now that Robert Turbin has been busted for performance-enhancing drug use.
On Friday, Turbin acknowledged in a statement that he made a “mistake” and will be suspended four games after testing positive for PEDs.

Turbin had just 23 rushing attempts in six games last season, but the veteran may have been in line for a bigger role in 2018 with Gore out of the picture. The Colts drafted two running backs and are looking for someone to take hold of the backfield, but it will be tough for Turbin to do that while he’s out to start the year.
