The Daniel Jones signing was a godsend for the Indianapolis Colts, as the former Giants quarterback was playing his best football under head coach Shane Steichen. Unfortunately, the former first-round pick suffered a season-ending Achilles injury against the Jacksonville Jaguars, and the team will have to carry on without him. While Jones was the primary catalyst for the Colts impressive season, the team will continue to try and win games without him.
Colts Could Target These 3 Free Agent Quarterbacks After the Daniel Jones Injury
Unfortunately, that will be easier said than done. Jones was easily the best quarterback on the roster and, with backup Anthony Richardson sidelined with an injury of his own, the Colts will turn to sixth-round rookie Riley Leonard. Leonard played as well as could be expected given the circumstances, completing 18 of his 29 attempts for 145 yards and an interception.
While the Colts will move forward with Leonard and practice squad quarterback Brett Rypien, don’t be surprised if they add one of the following three players to the roster in the coming weeks. There aren’t many great options available at this point in the season, but these three could help the Colts in their fight for a playoff spot.
