Colts WR Michael Pittman Jr. takes fans behind the curtain to share how severe QB Daniel Jones’ injury was
Michael Pittman Jr. shares his thoughts on Daniel Jones, his injuries, and whether or not the Colts should re-sign the QB.
While there were multiple that followed, the Indianapolis Colts’ season officially ended once QB Daniel Jones went down with a torn right Achilles tendon.
That injury has been discussed so much that it feels like a lot of people have forgotten he was playing through another injury for a few weeks before his season ended. It was reported that Jones was playing through a leg fracture, and every chance he or the team got, they tried to minimize the severity of the situation.
Now that the season is over, the focus on Jones has been his upcoming free agency and his ongoing injury recovery. Colts WR Michael Pittman Jr. felt the need to shine a light on Jones’ first injury to share just how severe it truly was.
Michael Pittman Jr. believes the Colts would be wise to bring Daniel Jones back next season
Super Bowl week has arrived in the NFL, and while the Colts obviously won’t be playing in the big game, the entire league comes together to celebrate ahead of the event. Radio row at the location of the big game always brings out some eye-catching interviews.
That even includes Colts news and information, and this year, that comes from WR Michael Pittman Jr. himself. Pittman was asked about Jones and how important it is for the team to get him back next season. His answer shouldn’t shock anyone, as he, like the rest of the team, believes the Colts will do what is necessary to get Jones back as their QB in 2026.
The additional information he provided, though, was interesting to hear. Pittman shared that he remembers seeing the scans of Jones’ initial injury, calling it a “broken leg,” and that seeing the scans of the injury confirmed to him just how serious it was. Pittman reflected on that moment by saying, “It was really broken, it wasn’t nothing light.”
