Jones underwent surgery Tuesday to repair a torn right Achilles that he suffered in Week 14 against the Jaguars, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

The recovery timeline for Jones is 6-to-8 months, which puts him in a position to be fully cleared for the start of training camp in July of 2026. Jones will hit free agency in the offseason, but Schefter relays that the Colts are expected to try and re-sign the 28-year-old quarterback. Jones ended his 2025 regular season completing 68.0 percent of his passes for 3,101 yards, 19 touchdowns and eight interceptions while turning 45 carries into 164 yards and five scores across 13 games.

The Colts placed Jones (Achilles) on injured reserve Tuesday, JJ Stankevitz of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones' move to IR was merely a formality after he suffered a season-ending right Achilles tendon rupture Sunday. Head coach Shane Steichen said Monday that Jones is scheduled to undergo surgery "within the week," and given the timing of the injury, the signal-caller will be hard pressed to return to full health in advance of Week 1 of the 2026 campaign. The former Giant had been in the midst of the most efficient season of his career while leading the Colts to a 8-5 record, completing 68.0 percent of his passes for 8.1 yards per attempt and a 19:8 TD:INT while adding 164 yards and five scores on the ground. The 28-year-old appeared to have put himself in position for a lucrative long-term deal with the Colts or another club in free agency this spring, but the Achilles injury could result in him having to settle for a smaller contract.

Coach Shane Steichen confirmed Monday that Jones sustained a torn right Achilles during Sunday's loss to the Jaguars.

EDGE Analysis

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 Colts is uncertain.

Jones was diagnosed with a torn right Achilles tendon, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones underwent an MRI on Monday after leaving Sunday's loss to the Jaguars with an Achilles injury, and it was confirmed that he is dealing with a setback that will bring an end to his season. A timeline for his recovery was not provided, but his absence will almost certainly be measured in months. Sixth-round rookie Riley Leonard replaced Jones in Sunday's contest, and both Anthony Richardson (orbital) and Brett Rypien could be in the mix for snaps, though Richardson is on injured reserve and Rypien currently resides on the practice squad.

Jones is feared to have suffered a torn right Achilles that will require surgery, but confirmation will come Monday, Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones suffered a non-contact lower-leg injury in the first quarter of Sunday's 36-19 loss to Jacksonville, and he is now likely slated to miss the remainder of the season as a result. 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 Colts when/if he's able to return to action.

Following Sunday's 36-19 loss to the Jaguars, coach Shane Steichen acknowledged that Jones right Achilles injury "could be season-ending," James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

With that in mind, Steichen noted that the Colts can't confirm anything just yet, but acknowledged that it's "not looking good" for Jones, who sustained a non-contact Achilles' injury Sunday. For now, Riley Leonard is the only healthy QB on the team's active roster as next weekend's game against the Seahawks approaches.

Jones has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's contest against the Jaguars with an Achilles' injury.

EDGE Analysis

Before sustaining the injury, Jones completed five of seven passes for 60 yards and a pick and carried once for four yards. In his absence, Riley Leonard is slated to take over at QB for the Colts.

Jones left Sunday's game at Jacksonville in the first quarter with a lower-leg injury, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones crumbled to the ground and pointed to his leg before being helped off the field. Riley Leonard replaced Jones at quarterback.

Jones completed 14 of 27 passes for 201 yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Texans.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Coach Shane Steichen confirmed Friday that Jones (fibula) will play Sunday against the Texans, Amanda Foster of the Colts' official site reports. The QB officially does not carry an injury designation for the contest.

EDGE Analysis

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."
