Daniel Jones helped spark a massive turnaround in the Indianapolis Colts‘ offense through the first half of the season.
Now, as Indianapolis sputters to the finish line, Jones will be a spectator.
The Colts quarterback, who helped engineer an offense that was on a record trajectory through eight weeks, suffered a season-ending Achilles tear in the first quarter of Sunday’s 36-19 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, sources confirmed to ESPN. He’s set to undergo surgery.
The injury and the subsequent defeat leave the Colts in a daunting situation, with a rookie backup quarterback under center, a brutal stretch run ahead and dimming playoff hopes.
