ESPN's Adam Schefter confirms that Colts QB Daniel Jones needs surgery to repair a ruptured right Achilles. That ends Jones' season, puts his status for the start of the 2026 campaign in question, and leaves the Colts with a big problem at QB.

Colts QB Daniel Jones suffered a non-contact leg injury near the end of the first quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Jaguars. He was quickly ruled out with an Achilles. This will likely be a season-ending injury that could also impact Jones' readiness for the start of the 2026 campaign, but we'll look for more details. QB Riley Leonard is Indianapolis' backup with QB Anthony Richardson still sidelined with his eye injury.

Colts QB Daniel Jones (fibula) is not listed on the final Week 13 injury report. We learned Thursday that Jones fractured his fibula in practice last week. He played against the Chiefs on Sunday, of course, and then practiced all this week, including full workouts on Thursday and Friday. He’ll start this weekend’s game vs. the Texans, but it’s tough to imagine the leg injury won’t be a factor. Jones had his third-worst fantasy outing of the season vs. Kansas City last week. Now he gets Houston’s second-ranked QB defense.

Colts QB Daniel Jones has a fractured fibula, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. It sounds like Jones suffered the injury in last Thursday's practice. He played vs. the Chiefs on Sunday and has been a full participant in practice this week, but Rapoport calls him "uncertain" for this Sunday's game vs. the Texans. We'll keep an eye on Jones' status, but he's not a recommended QB1 start with the injury and matchup against Houston's second-ranked QB defense. If Jones can't go, Indianapolis would be forced to turn to sixth-round rookie QB Riley Leonard,

Colts QB Daniel Jones (fibula) is off the final injury report for this weekend’s game vs. the Chiefs. He was added on Thursday and limited in practice but returned to a full workout on Friday. HC Shane Steichen said Friday that the fibula issue is “of no concern and he's ready to roll,” per ESPN’s Stephen Holder. We’re considering this a non-issue for Jones’ Week 12 fantasy outlook.

Colts QB Daniel Jones was added to the injury report and limited in practice on Thursday with a calf. "Sounds like the Colts are being cautious," NFL Network's Ian Rapoport tweeted. "Still worth keeping an eye on..." We'll certainly be keeping an eye on this one. With QB Anthony Richardson on IR, QB Riley Leonard is Indianapolis' backup. He'd be a huge downgrade for the offense.

Colts RB Jonathan Taylor had his worst fantasy output of the season with a 14-45-0 stat line on the ground and catching his only two targets for 12 yards. The Steelers' defense loaded the box, forcing QB Daniel Jones to beat them. The Colts leaned on the pass, throwing the ball 50 times.

You probably expected Sunday's (predictable) win over the Titans to include the Colts just mercilessly hammering RB Jonathan Taylor at an already-soft defensive front missing a pair of starters. And Taylor's large stat line -- 153 rushing yards, 3 total TDs (again) -- seemed to confirm that. But Taylor ran just 12 times for the game, and the Colts instead leaned pass basically from the start.

Colts QB Daniel Jones threw for 288 yards and 2 TDs in Sunday's win over the Chargers. He went 23-of-34 passing, a 67.6% completion rate that actually matched Jones' lowest of the season.
