The Indianapolis Colts have achieved more than the brightest optimist envisaged this season. But with the playoffs in sight, a concerning injury to starting quarterback Daniel Jones threatens to derail everything.
Jones has been a revelation for the Colts. He beat out Anthony Richardson for the No. 1 job in the summer, and the No. 6 overall selection in the 2019 NFL Draft seized what was his final opportunity to cement his status as a productive starter in the league.
Indianapolis signaled its intent to move forward with Jones long-term by trading for All-Pro cornerback Sauce Gardner.
