Daniel Jones was added to the injury report in Week 12 with a fibula injury, one he played through during a loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
It turns out, the Indianapolis Colts quarterback is dealing with a fractured fibula, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Thursday.
Rapoport added that it's an injury Jones is not concerned about, per a source.
Jones was listed as limited in Wednesday's practice and upgraded to a full participant on Thursday ahead of a big game against the division's reigning two-time champions, the Houston Texans, on Sunday.
Jones is amid a remarkable turnaround season with the Colts, as the New York Giants 2019 first-round draft pick has led Indianapolis to an 8-3 start and a first-place standing in the AFC South. Released by the Giants last year before spending some time with the Minnesota Vikings, Jones signed this offseason with Indy and beat out Anthony Richardson for the starting job. He's run with it since, captaining the Colts to a terrific season so far.
Jones has thrown for 2,840 yards, 17 touchdowns (his most since his rookie season), seven interceptions and has completed a career-best 69.1% of his passes with a career-high 101.4 passer rating.
The Colts QB's status is definitely something to monitor for Week 13 and beyond.
