Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones left Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars after suffering a gruesome lower-leg injury as he dropped back to pass.

Jones, who was already playing with a broken left fibula, fell to the ground and clutched his right Achilles. As the trainers came out to check on him, Jones slammed his helmet down in frustration. He was able to gingerly walk to the locker room under his own power.

Jones had 14,582 passing yards, 70 touchdown passes and 47 interceptions in 70 games with the Giants.
