Jones, who was also dealing with a fractured left fibula , was a huge part of the sparking the Colts to a 7-1 start. He was having the best season of his career in his first year with the Colts.
Jones will undergo surgery. It’s unclear if he will be ready for Week 1 of the 2026 season.
The loss of Jones also meant the Colts quarterback situation got even messier. Anthony Richardson is on injured reserve with a fractured orbital bone, while Brett Rypien is on their practice squad.
Riley Leonard took over for Jones and is the only healthy quarterback on the Colts’ roster.
After Sunday’s loss, the Colts fell to 8-5 and are now third in the AFC South standings. They’re tied with the Houston Texans , who have the same record and won their last five games.
