Quarterback Daniel Jones‘ left the Indianapolis Colts‘ crucial Week 14 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars with what the team called an Achilles injury. He was quickly ruled out after heading to the locker room after suffering the injury in the first quarter.
Jones has been playing with a fractured fibula in his left leg, so it’s especially concerning for the Colts that this injury is in his right leg.
Jones was replaced by rookie Riley Leonard. Anthony Richardson, the No. 5 overall pick in the 2023 draft, is out with a broken orbital bone after an accident earlier this season involving a stretching band.
Before his exit, Jones was 5-of-7 for 60 yards and threw an interception and also had one carry for four yards.
The Colts entered this game tied with the Jaguars in the AFC South at 8-4, but the Jags hold the tiebreaker and are in first place. Indianapolis was the No. 6 seed in the AFC.
This is a developing story.
