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 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.

The Indianapolis Colts selected Notre Dame QB Riley Leonard with the 189th pick of the 2025 NFL Draft. Leonard emerged as Duke’s starter in 2022. The sophomore earned an honorable mention All-ACC selection, popping as a dual-threat athlete. His 776 rushing yards ranked seventh nationally among QBs, although he threw for only 228 yards per game on 7.6 yards per attempt. Toe and ankle injuries limited Leonard to just seven games in 2023, and he needed two procedures to stabilize the ankle. Leonard transferred to Notre Dame ahead of the 2024 campaign and stayed healthy, running for 982 yards and 17 TDs. But he didn’t progress much as a passer. Leonard averaged 179 passing yards per game on 7.1 yards per attempt, ranking 48th in Pro Football Focus passing grade among 128 qualifying QBs. His rushing ability would make him an intriguing fantasy asset if he gets on the field as a pro. But Leonard is unlikely to develop into an NFL-caliber passer. He projects as a long-term backup.
