Pittman Says Daniel Jones Played Through 'Really Broken' Leg, Backs Colts Return

The quarterback approaches free agency with an Achilles rehab that leaves contract timing uncertain.

Overview

  • Michael Pittman Jr. said Jones’ fibula was “really broken” and added he believes the Colts will do whatever it takes to keep him.
  • Jones first appeared on the injury report before Week 12 with a fibula issue, played through it for two games, and showed reduced mobility.
  • His 2025 season ended with a Week 14 Achilles tear against Jacksonville.
  • Jones’ one-year, $14 million contract expires this summer, leaving Indianapolis to decide between a franchise tag or a new deal.
  • Market views remain fluid, with a Pro Football Focus projection of four years and $174.39 million and reports citing a six- to eight-month Achilles recovery timeline.
