Colts’ Daniel Jones Leaves With Non-Contact Achilles Injury Against Jaguars

Medical evaluation is pending after the 28-year-old quarterback exited in the first quarter, putting Indianapolis’ playoff plans on edge.

Overview

  • The Colts said Jones sustained an Achilles injury and he did not return.
  • He went down without contact in the first quarter after a completed pass.
  • Rookie Riley Leonard took over at quarterback for Indianapolis.
  • The team has not yet detailed the severity; if it is a full tear, typical recovery timelines are about a year.
  • Jones had played the last two games with a broken fibula, and a lengthy absence would hamper the 8–4 Colts’ playoff push.
