Colts' Daniel Jones: Season-ending injury confirmed
Coach Shane Steichen confirmed Monday that Daniel Jones sustained a torn right Achilles during Sunday's loss to the Jaguars.The quarterback will miss the remainder of the 2025 season and is slated to undergo surgery within the next week, per Steichen. Sixth-round rookie Riley Leonard, who replaced Jones Sunday, is also dealing with a knee injury of his own, James Boyd of The Athletic reports. While Steichen thinks Leonard will be able to play in Week 15 against the Seahawks, that's not a lock to happen. With Anthony Richardson (orbital fracture) still on IR and not in line to be activated this week, practice squad member Brett Rypien could end up drawing the start instead of Leonard. In his first campaign with Indianapolis, Jones had been re-establishing himself as a viable QB1, throwing for 3,101 yards with a 19:8 TD in 13 games to go along with 45 carries for 164 yards and five rushing TDs. The 28-year-old is facing a lengthy rehab, and considering that he's on track to become a free agent this offseason, his future with the Indianapolis Colts is uncertain.

The quarterback was in the midst of a resurgent campaign with Indianapolis, but it unfortunately appears headed toward a premature end. Riley Leonard replaced Jones at quarterback in Week 14, but Anthony Richardson (orbital) could be in the picture as well to start for the Indianapolis Colts when/if he's able to return to action.

Colts' Daniel Jones: Modest showing in loss
Daniel Jones completed 14 of 27 passes for 201 yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Texans.Jones is reportedly playing through a fractured fibula, but he turned in a solid performance against one of the best pass defenses in the league. He continued to show strong rapport with Alec Pierce, as the duo connected for four gains of at least 18 yards, including a 19-yard touchdown. Jones later tallied his second score of the game on a 12-yard connection with Tyler Warren. Jones has only 399 yards combined across his last two games, though he's posted a 4:1 TD:INT heading into a far more favorable Week 14 matchup against the Jaguars.

Colts' Daniel Jones: Ready to go Sunday
Coach Shane Steichen confirmed Friday that Daniel Jones (fibula) will play Sunday against the Texans, Amanda Foster of the Indianapolis Colts' official site reports. The QB officially does not carry an injury designation for the contest.Jones was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's walkthrough, but he was a full practice participant both Thursday and Friday, which paves the way for him to play through his fibula injury against the 6-5 Texans, who have won three straight games and will welcome starting signal-caller C.J. Stroud back to their starting lineup Sunday. With regard to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport's report that Jones has a fractured fibula, James Boyd of The Athletic relays that the Colts would neither confirm nor deny it. For his part, coach Shane Steichen told Boyd on Friday, "Talking to our trainers and our doctors and Daniel himself, we would never put him out there if we thought something could go wrong there," while indicating that he believes the QB's fibula can heal/improve this season even while he's still playing on it. When asked if Jones' fibula injury will limit certain parts of the Colts offense this weekend, Steichen said, "We'll manage. But again, we're not going to limit anything that we do offensively from a game-plan standpoint. ... We're ready to go. He's ready to go."

Colts' Daniel Jones: Works fully through fibula issue
Daniel Jones (fibula) was listed as full practice participant Thursday.After being listed as limited in Wednesday's walkthrough, Jones worked fully a day later, though James Boyd of The Athletic noted that the QB didn't look as fluid as normal during Thursday's session. That's not surprising, given that NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Jones is dealing with a fractured fibula. While Rapoport indicates that it's an injury Jones is not concerned about, it will still be worth circling back Friday to confirm the signal-caller's final game status ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans.
