Colts QB Daniel Jones Ruled Out with Achilles Injury Update
The Indianapolis Colts have faced yet another setback as their starting quarterback, Daniel Jones, has been ruled out due to an Achilles injury. This news comes as Jones was already managing a fractured fibula, impacting his left leg.
Jones’ Injury Details
In a recent game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Jones sustained a non-contact injury to his right leg. On a rainy day, he fell to the ground after making a throw on third down, immediately grabbing his right calf. The scene looked serious as he visibly struggled and slammed his helmet on the ground in frustration.
Replacement Quarterback
With Jones out, Riley Leonard stepped in to take his place. The Colts are relying on Leonard at a critical juncture in their season, especially as they compete for playoff positioning.
