Daniel Jones injury update

Jones suffered a fracture in his fibula, according toNFL Media's Ian Rapoport.

The quarterback was a full participant at Indianapolis' Thanksgiving practice, which represented an upgrade from his limited session on Nov. 26.

Rapoport added that he was told that Jones, "looked good," and he will continue to try and play through it. Jones was previously listed with a fibula injury ahead of Week 12, but ultimately played against the Kansas City Chiefs in a losing effort.

The Colts are trying to stave off theJacksonville Jaguars, who are just one game back with both divisional matchups still to come.

Jones' team has enjoyed first place all season. He'll hope that the fibula injury doesn't ultimately knock the Colts out of it.
