Colts QB Daniel Jones sidelined with right Achilles tendon injury
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) --- Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones,
already playing with a lower left leg injury, hurt his right Achilles tendon
against Jacksonville on Sunday.
Jones dropped to the ground and immediately grabbed the back of his right leg.
He slammed his helmet to the ground several times before getting helped up by
team trainers. He limped to the sideline for further evaluation and eventually
made his way to the locker room for tests.
Riley Leonard replaced him, and the team quickly ruled Jones out for the game.
Jones has been playing with a broken bone in his left leg. He said he couldn't
pinpoint exactly when the injury occurred or when he first noticed something
didn't seem right. He maintained the past two weeks he feels healthy enough to
play.
Jones' performance, however, has declined over the past month. As defenses put
increasingly more pressure on Jones, he has looked less mobile, at times, and
has been less accurate completing throws than he was in Indy's first eight
games.
