Daniel Jones is reportedly dealing with a fractured fibula, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
After showing up on the Indianapolis Colts’ Week 12 injury report with a fibula injury, Rapoport reports that this “is not an injury [Jones] is concerned about.”

The Colts quarterback played through it last week during a 23-20 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, throwing for 181 yards and two touchdowns. He also picked up 16 rushing yards on three attempts.
Jones was a full participant during Friday’s practice and head coach Shane Steichen said Jones will play Sunday against the Houston Texans.
“We would never put him out there if we thought something could go wrong,” Steichen said.
Moving on to Jones’ old team in New York, Jaxson Dart was cleared from concussion protocol on Thursday and will play Monday night against the New England Patriots.

Dart has missed the Giants’ past two games while in concussion protocol. He was injured in Week 10 against the Chicago Bears. Jameis Winston started in a pair of seven-point losses in Dart’s absence.
In Minnesota, J.J. McCarthy remains in concussion protocol and will miss Sunday’s game against the Seattle Seahawks. Rookie Max Brosmer will start in his place. McCarthy reported concussion symptoms on the flight back following the team’s 23-6 loss to the Green Bay Packers in Week 12.
McCarthy has already missed five games this season with an ankle injury. The concussion comes after a pretty disappointing showing from the Michigan product, who went 12-for-19 for only 87 yards in the loss to the Packers, throwing two interceptions. The second-year quarterback has not impressed much in his first real season, hitting only 54.1% of his passes with 10 picks and a 57.9 QBRating across six games.
Other notable Week 13 injuries:

The Patriots will be without rookie left tackle Will Campbell, who will miss the next four games after being placed on injured reserve. Campbell injured his knee during New England’s Week 12 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. The team does not believe the injury is season-ending, which would be a sigh of relief for quarterback Drake Maye.
Baker Mayfield is trending towards playing Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. After dealing with a low-grade sprained AC joint in his non-throwing shoulder all week, Mayfield took part in Friday’s practice and head coach Todd Bowles said he looked good and looks ready to return after sustaining the injury during last week’s loss to the Los Angeles Rams. “He had to get well. He was very limited on Wednesday, he did a little more yesterday and he moved around perfectly today, so he’s fine.”
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will start against the Buffalo Bills, head coach Mike Tomlin told reporters on Friday. Rodgers missed last week’s game against the Bears after suffering a fractured wrist in his non-throwing arm against the Bengals in Week 11. Backup Mason Rudolph relieved him after the injury, closing out the dominant win by going 12-of-16 for 127 yards and a touchdown.

Embattled Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy will be sidelined Sunday in Seattle against the Seahawks. He’s still recovering from the concussion he suffered during a Week 12 defeat to the Green Bay Packers.
The Vikings are turning to undrafted rookie Max Brosmer, who played his college ball at UNH and Minnesota before impressing with the Vikings in the preseason.
Brosmer will make his first-career start on the road versus the Seahawks.

Mayfield suffered a shoulder injury during Sunday’s loss to the Rams.
After a Tampa Bay drive in the first half, Mayfield went into the sideline medical tent without moving his left arm. He initially returned to the game on the ensuing Tampa Bay possession. But he grimaced in pain after falling on the last play before halftime, and the Bucs listed him as doubtful to return before Tampa Bay’s first possession of the third quarter.
Mayfield said Wednesday he was still experiencing pain, but that it was decreasing. Head coach Todd Bowles said he wanted to see ths quarterback work through the week before making a final decision on playing Sunday against the Cardinals.

The Chiefs’ left tackle suffered a dislocated and fractured wrist during Thursday’s Thanksgiving Day loss to the Cowboys.
Simmons will undergo an MRI on Friday to determine the severity and help the team be able to gauge a possible timeframe for a return.
The No. 32 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft missed the first 10 weeks of the season while tending to a personal matter in California. He returned in Week 11 and started Kansas City’s past three games.

Rodgers’ wrist injury did not require surgery and he pushed to play Week 12 after being limited in practice last Thursday.

Colts quarterback Daniel Jones has reportedly been dealing with a fractured fibula — though he reportedly plans to keep playing through it. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports that it’s “not an injury he’s concerned about.”
Jones has surged this season to lead Indianapolis to a 8-3 record, and is choosing to power through going forward.
“I’m all good. I’ll be ready to go on Sunday,” said Jones, who was a full participant in Thursday’s practice. “Obviously, I was out there last week. I’m good to go.”

The Baltimore Ravens will have quarterback Lamar Jackson, safety Kyle Hamilton and wide receiver Rashod Bateman on the field Thursday night against the Cincinnati Bengals.
They don’t have game statuses for the Thanksgiving showdown after showing up on the injury report earlier this week.
Bateman was limited Monday and Tuesday with an ankle injury, except he practiced in full Wednesday.
Hamilton, nursing an ankle injury as well, didn’t practice Monday. He was limited Tuesday, but he was a full participant Wednesday.
Jackson picked up a toe injury during last week’s win over the New York Jets, adding another ailment to a season in which he’s also battled hamstring, knee and ankle issues. He didn’t participate in Monday’s practice, however, he practiced in full Tuesday and Wednesday.

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs will return to the field Thursday against the Detroit Lions for a classic Thanksgiving showdown.
Jacobs suffered a knee injury in Week 11 against the New York Giants. He was sidelined last week during a win over the Minnesota Vikings.
But now he’ll be back for a pivotal NFC North matchup in Detroit. Despite being limited all week in practice, Jacobs doesn’t have a game status listed, meaning he’s ready to go.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield was a non-participant in Wednesday’s practice due to his sprained AC joint. Meanwhile, running back Bucky Irving was listed as a full participant in practice.
