Report: Colts’ Daniel Jones Has Fractured Fibula, Still Expected to Start vs. Texans

Practice footage shows reduced mobility, raising stakes for Indianapolis’ thin quarterback depth in a tight AFC South race.

Overview

  • NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Jones has a fractured fibula and said sources described him as a full participant Thursday who “looked good.”
  • Jones and head coach Shane Steichen maintained he will be ready to play Sunday after logging every snap in last week’s loss at Kansas City.
  • The Colts listed Jones as limited on Wednesday’s estimated report from a walkthrough, while Thursday practice video from beat writers showed him moving gingerly and skipping reps.
  • Anthony Richardson remains on injured reserve with an orbital fracture, leaving rookie Riley Leonard as the next option if Jones cannot go.
  • Houston brings a high-pressure defense keyed by Will Anderson Jr. and Danielle Hunter, heightening concern over any reduction in Jones’ mobility.
