Newer update on Daniel Jones: Daniel Jones remains Colts starting QB after turnover-filled loss to Titans

Daniel Jones injury update: Full practice with ankle issue ahead of Week 6 vs. Titans

The Colts listed Daniel Jones as a full participant in Wednesday's practice with an ankle injury, so he appears on track to face the Titans.

By Cole Hartwell

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones appeared on the injury report with an ankle issue but took part in the full practice session on Wednesday. That level of participation suggests he should be available for Sunday’s game against the Tennessee Titans.

What happened

Jones was listed with an ankle injury, according to NBC Sports and Yahoo Sports, but he was able to practice fully. The reporting indicates his availability is unlikely to be impacted unless his practice involvement decreases later in the week.

Several teammates were also on the report. Keenan Allen, Jayden Carlies, Ashton Dulin, Jalen Travis, and Charvarius Ward did not practice at all. Josh Downs, Matt Goncalves, Jonathan Taylor, and J.T. Tuimoloau were limited. Will Mallory and Darius Slayton practiced fully.

Context

Jones has started every game this season for the Colts. Through five weeks he has thrown for 1,021 yards, three touchdowns, and four interceptions, and he has added 25 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown. He has played 100 percent of the offensive snaps.

In Week 5, Jones threw for 267 yards and added four rushing yards, finishing with 11.1 PPR points. In Week 4 he passed for 143 yards and one interception but ran for a touchdown.

What’s next

The Colts host the Titans in Week 6 on Sunday, October 18. Jones is projected for 14.6 PPR points by Sleeper.

🏈 Fantasy impact

Jones has had an inconsistent fantasy season, topping 11 PPR points in Week 5 but totaling just four touchdowns through five games. He is not a recommended starter in 1QB leagues, but his full participation and 14.6-point projection make him a viable streaming option in deeper or 2QB formats if your starter is unavailable.

If Jones were to miss time, Anthony Richardson is next on the depth chart but has not played this season, so the Colts would likely lean even more on the running game. That scenario would slightly boost Jonathan Taylor, who was limited Wednesday for rest.
