Daniel Jones Plays Through Reported Fibula Fracture as Colts Fall to Texans

Jones reported feeling good following medical clearance despite a report of a fractured fibula.

Overview

  • Indianapolis removed Jones from the injury report after two full practices, and coach Shane Steichen said he would have no limitations based on team medical evaluations.
  • Ian Rapoport reported that Jones has a fractured fibula, though the timing and specifics of the injury’s progression remain unclear.
  • Analysts flagged potential mobility limitations, with Adam Schefter noting lateral movement concerns and practice video from The Athletic’s James Boyd showing Jones moving less fluidly.
  • The Texans, tied for sixth in sacks entering the week, pressured a Colts offense that finished with a 20-16 loss as Jones went 14-of-27 for 201 yards, two touchdowns, no turnovers, and one sack.
  • Postgame, Jones declined to confirm the fracture report, said he felt good and better than last week, and Steichen praised his play against what he called a top defense.
