Colts HC Shane Steichen confirmed Monday that WR Alec Pierce re-injured the heel he had offseason surgery on in Sunday night's loss to the Chiefs. Pierce left the stadium in a walking boot and on crutches. Steichen said Pierce is getting a second opinion on this latest injury, and ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that Pierce is considered "week to week." Don't be surprised if he lands on short-term IR.

Less than a year removed from both a fractured fibula and torn achilles, Daniel Jones is back to impressing at Colts training camp. Stephen Holder, a Colts reporter for ESPN, says it was “Daniel Jones’ best day of camp so far. Flawless.” He later said, “In fact, I would argue it was better than any practice he had in camp last year, pre-injury.”

Colts QB Daniel Jones confirmed on the Pat McAfee show that he's been fully cleared for training camp and will fully participate when camp opens this week. Jones has been working his way back from an Achilles injury he suffered last December. Jones' full participation in training camp means he should be ready for the start of the season.

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 QB Anthony Richardson left Thursday’s preseason game with a finger injury, according to James Boyd of The Athletic.

Update: Richardson dislocated the pinky on his right (throwing) hand, HC Shane Steichen said. "Don't know how long he'll be out," Steichen added. We should learn more about how long Richardson will be sidelined over the next 24 hours. Stay tuned.

Colts QB Anthony Richardson is believed to be recovered from the right shoulder issue he dealt with last month, according to ESPN's Stephen Holder. Richardson missed two weeks of June minicamp with an aggravation of the AC joint injury that ended his 2023 season. The rest has seemingly alleviated the issue, though. Richardson has been "throwing the ball with velocity" for weeks, per Holder, although it's still possible that he'll be on a pitch count early in camp.

Colts QB Anthony Richardson is dealing with a right shoulder injury and won't participate in next week's minicamp, HC Shane Steichen said Thursday. Steichen called it an aggravation of the AC joint injury that ended Richardson's 2023 season. He had surgery then but is not expected to need surgery this time, according to Steichen.

The Giants are benching QB Daniel Jones, NFL Network reports. It's being "deemed a football decision," according to Mike Garafolo, which is fair considering Jones' play this season. But the move also protects the Giants from the 2025 $23 million injury guarantee in Jones' contract. We've very likely seen the last of Jones on the field for the Giants. The team will start QB Tommy DeVito -- not QB Drew Lock -- against the Buccaneers this weekend, per NFL Network.
