The Indianapolis Colts were hit with devastating news in Week 14. Daniel Jones, who left the game against the Jacksonville Jaguars with what was feared to be an Achilles injury, did in fact suffer a ruptured Achilles tendon.
The reclamation quarterback will undergo season-ending surgery. Jones' unfortunate injury potentially takes one more team out of the AFC Playoff race, which is another fortunate break for a team like the Pittsburgh Steelers.
But Jones' injury doesn't just shake up the AFC in 2025; it could change his career path for 2026 and beyond.
The Colts had internal contract extension discussions for Jones long before becoming one of the top offenses in the NFL, according to ESPN's Stephen Holder.
