Colts’ Daniel Jones Leaves With Apparent Achilles Injury as Jaguars Win AFC South Showdown

Achilles rehabs often take about nine months, putting his season in jeopardy pending further evaluation.

Overview

  • Indianapolis ruled Jones out in the second quarter with a preliminary right Achilles diagnosis after he fell following an incomplete pass and hit his helmet to the turf.
  • Rookie Riley Leonard replaced Jones at quarterback, with Brett Rypien as the only other passer available on the roster via the practice squad.
  • Medical imaging will determine the extent of the injury, which team and media reports note could sideline him for the remainder of the season.
  • Jacksonville beat Indianapolis 36-19 to move to 9-4 and into first place in the AFC South, extending the Colts’ road drought there that dates to 2014.
  • Jones had been enjoying a resurgence with the Colts, totaling 3,041 passing yards and 19 touchdowns this season before the injury.
