Colts Lose Daniel Jones to Torn Achilles, Eye Philip Rivers Workout in QB Scramble

Indianapolis turns to a Philip Rivers workout following injuries that depleted its quarterback depth.

Overview

  • The Colts confirmed Daniel Jones suffered a season-ending torn right Achilles and will undergo surgery within the week.
  • Rookie Riley Leonard has a right knee injury and is described by coach Shane Steichen as "hopefully" available to face the Seahawks.
  • Anthony Richardson remains on injured reserve with an orbital fracture and will not be activated this week.
  • Brett Rypien is on the practice squad, and Steichen indicated he would likely start if Leonard cannot go as the team prepares related roster moves, including placing Jones on IR.
  • Multiple reports say 44-year-old Philip Rivers will visit for a workout as Indianapolis assesses veteran options; media chatter also mentions Joe Flacco, but no signings have been reported.
