Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones is navigating a fibula injury.
According to Ian Rapoport, it is a fracture that Jones is working through.
On game days, Jones is seen wearing a 3D printed pad to help with the injury. That pad was created and made by two former Duke teammates of Jones, who have turned the idea into a business.
“I’m lucky to have smart friends, and two classmates of mine, teammates at Duke, who are really good friends,” Jones said on Wednesday. “They were starting up that business, I kind of had an idea about it my last year at Duke. I broke my collarbone at that time, so it kind of worked out timing-wise.
“Since then, they’ve built a pretty good business, 3D printing those pads and devices. So kind of funny, using one of them again, but they’re smart guys and lucky to have smart friends.”
To get the pad made, Jones used an app to scan his fibula. The pad is then printed out and fits specifically to Jones.
One of those former Duke teammates of Jones, who operates the business, then delivered it to him in Kansas City prior to the Chiefs’ game.
Jones says the pad is low-profile and fits well, so he doesn’t notice it when he is playing.
Although this injury is something that Jones has to deal with, there are “no restrictions” on him or the Colts‘ offense.
On Wednesday, two NFL insiders shared what they are hearing about Jones’ injury.
