What happened to Daniel Jones?
The injury occurred on a non-contact play in the second quarter. Jones immediately went down and was unable to continue, forcing him out of the game. Backup quarterback Riley Leonard entered in his place.
Injury update
According to NFL insider Adam Schefter, Jones has been ruled out for the remainder of the game with what is feared to be an Achilles injury.
If confirmed, Achilles injuries typically require months of rehabilitation before a full return to activity.
This setback comes on top of an ongoing left fibula fracture that he has been managing since early November.
What experts say
Dr. Evan Jeffries, a Doctor of Physical Therapy, reacted to the injury on X.
“Daniel Jones went down with a non-contact right leg injury. The concern is this is he has a FIBULA fracture on Left side and compensating on Right. Worst case scenario: Achilles Tear. Best case scenario: Calf strain,” he wrote.
