Colts head coach Shane Steichen on Monday confirmed quarterback Daniel Jones sustained a torn Achilles' on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars at EverBank Stadium and will miss the remainder of the 2025 season.
Jones will have surgery within the next week, Steichen said.
Jones' injury occurred on a third-and-eight dropback on which he went down after throwing a pass to wide receiver Alec Pierce. Jones was quickly ruled out of the game with an Achilles' injury, and Steichen said Sunday while he hadn't confirmed anything, the injury did not look good.
Jones had been playing through a fibula injury that he felt leading into the Colts' Week 12 game against the Kansas City Chiefs. The fibula injury was on his left leg; Jones' Achilles' injury occurred on his right leg.
With Jones out for the year and Anthony Richardson still on injured reserve, the Colts will move forward for the final four games of the 2025 season with, currently, Riley Leonard on their 53-man roster and Brett Rypien on their practice squad.
Jones' 2025 season ends with the 28-year-old having set career highs in completion percentage (68 percent), yards per attempt (8.1), yards per game (238.5), passer rating (100.2) and QBR (64.1).
