Overview
- Jones suffered a non-contact injury when his right leg buckled on a throw, then grabbed at his calf/Achilles before exiting in Jacksonville.
- The Colts announced he was ruled out for the remainder of the game with an Achilles injury after leaving late in the first quarter.
- He had been playing through a fractured left fibula in recent weeks and was using a low-profile protective pad, with observers noting reduced mobility.
- Rookie Riley Leonard took over at quarterback, leaving Indianapolis thin at the position with Richardson on IR.
- The team has not provided a timetable for Jones, and medical commentary notes Achilles injuries often require lengthy recoveries that could threaten the Colts' playoff push.
