Update:

Colts QB Daniel Jones sustained an injury in the Week 14 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

In the first quarter, Daniel Jones went down with what quickly became a season‑shaking injury to his lower right leg.

What began as a promising return to form for Jones ended with him walking off the field under obvious pain, leaving a stunned crowd and teammates behind.

As he dropped back to pass, his right foot planted and his body gave way; he grabbed at his Achilles area immediately afterward.

No one made contact with him; the injury happened on a clean play. Moments later, he was ruled out for the rest of the game. The extent of the injury remains to be seen; Jones will presumably undergo tests to determine the severity of his problem.
