Indianapolis Colts injured starting quarterback Daniel Jones took to his personal Instagram account to communicate a heartfelt thank you to his teammates, the coaching staff, and the Horseshoe Faithful (via The Athletic’s James Boyd): Daniel Jones via IG:“Thank you to my teammates, the coaches, the #Colts organization, and all the fans for the overwhelming support. Tough way to end the season but it has been an honor to wear the horseshoe and play for Colts fans. I’ll miss lining up with my guys …” pic.twitter.com/xGcA9CE8S5— James Boyd (@RomeovilleKid) December 12, 2025 Of course, Jones deserves a lot of credit and should be lauded for his leadership and toughness, having started and played through a fractured fibula through the team’s last three games. Unfortunately, that fractured fibula in his left leg, may have led to his right leg attempting to overcompensate physically, which buckled, non-contact, late in the first quarter of last Sunday’s road loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars—as Jones tore his right Achilles. Jones underwent season-ending surgery earlier this week and on the optimistic end, faces at least a 9 month recovery timetable. As a pending priority free agent for the Colts, the significant injury could complicate his future contract negotiations coming up this offseason. At the very least, that long-term deal with Indianapolis that Jones once had been anticipating may be reduced to a 1-2 year ‘prove it’ deal. Still, there may be some recognition from the Colts top brass, including ownership, that Jones cost himself some additional financial stability by playing through the injury, when he easily could’ve just shut it down a few weeks ago. Instead, Jones faces an even longer road to recovery, and questions of whether he’ll regain his prior form physically. Without a 2026 first round pick, and unlikely to re-sign a 45-year-old Philip Rivers at season’s end (at least I think?), Jones still makes sense for Indianapolis to bring back on a shorter-term deal. That being said, it’s possible that the Minnesota Vikings, who’ve seen a lot more lows than highs with former fist rounder J.J. McCarthy at quarterback could look to bring Jones back, having vied with Indy this past offseason for him.

The Indianapolis Colts today released their Wednesday injury report for Week 15 of the NFL season against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. wednesday’s practice report for #INDvsSEA. pic.twitter.com/VrX7lRiE0g— Indianapolis Colts (@Colts) December 10, 2025 Defensive tackle DeForest Buckner was a limited participant at practice today with a neck injury. Buckner had been on injured reserve due to a back injury for the past 4 weeks. If the Colts can get him back for the last few weeks of the regular season, it would be a huge boost for the defense. Cornerback Sauce Garner continues to miss practice this week after sustaining a calf injury two weeks ago. Gardner will likely miss practice all week and be ruled out of Sunday’s road game in Seattle. The hope is for him to return before the end of the regular season. Rookie quarterback Riley Leonard was a full participant today. Leonard was thrust into a starting role on Sunday after Daniel Jones exited with a torn Achilles. Leonard managing a full practice today keeps his availability open should he be needed to start Sunday vs the Seahawks. The quarterback position is so upside down at the moment but having Leonard as an option is positive news. Defensive end Tyquan Lewis missed practice today with a groin injury. Lewis continues his weekly battle with his groin injury rehab again. Lewis will likely practice in some capacity tomorrow before the team makes a decision on his availability on Friday. Right tackle Braden Smith missed practice today with neck and concussion injuries. Smith had entered the concussion protocol and will likely miss this week’s game whilst trying to pass through safely. If Smith is unable to play, expect a start for rookie Jalen Travis at right tackle or 2nd-year offensive guard Dalton Tucker at right guard.
