Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones has exited the team’s Week 14 matchup vs. the Jacksonville Jaguars after suffering a non-contact leg injury. It was quickly deemed an Achilles injury and he has been ruled out for the rest of the game.
The veteran was seen slamming his helmet on the ground as trainers came out to check on him and he was later seen hobbling to the locker room for further evaluation. Backup Riley Leonard has entered the game as his replacement.
Jones was already playing through a fractured fibula and his Achilles injury on Sunday was actually the opposite leg. Nevertheless, this is brutal news for the Colts as they have dropped three of their least four games and a loss today would put them a full game behind the Jags for first place in the AFC South. Jones arrived to the franchise in the offseason and emerged as one of the biggest surprise stories in the entire NFL this season, leading Indy out to a 7-1 start with the potential to secure the No. 1 overall seed in the AFC. Sunday’s Achilles injury could possibly bring his 2025 campaign to a premature end.

Lionel Messi added to his legacy Monday afternoon by scoring his record-breaking 17th career World Cup goal in the first half of Argentina’s match vs. Austria in Arlington, Texas, breaking a tie with Germany’s Miroslav Klose.
Messi, who turns 39 on Wednesday, scored the historic goal on a first-touch left-footed strike from just inside the 18-yard box in the 38th minute off an assist from Facundo Medina.
Messi, who became one of the first two players to appear in six World Cups last week alongside Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo, entered this summer’s event three goals behind Klose. Behind his first career World Cup hat trick in the Group J opener vs. Algeria on June 16, he pulled even entering the second group-stage match.
He appeared destined to break the record approximately 30 minutes earlier when Lautaro Martinez was tackled in the box and Argentina was awarded a penalty kick. However, Messi missed the ensuing penalty kick wide of the right post in the ninth minute.
Currently, that record is held by Miroslav Klose from Germany, who tops the list with 16 goals. Klose is followed by Ronaldo (15), Gerd Müller (14), and Lionel Messi, who is chasing that mark as well as he enters play with 13 World Cup goals on his legendary resume.
The French star won the Golden Boot at the 2022 World Cup, thanks to the eight goals he scored in France’s run to the Finals. But if he were to win the Golden Boot at the 2026 World Cup, he would become the first player in the over 90-year history of the World Cup to secure that honor twice.
