Will Fries suffered a serious right tibia injury during a run-blocking play late in the third quarter. His leg bent awkwardly as he got caught between defenders, leading to immediate assistance from the medical staff on the field. Placed in an air cast and carted off, there are suspicions of a fracture as confirmed by a source, compounding the injury woes for the Colts, who are already facing issues with star players.
Coach Shane Steichen expressed his concern for Fries, stating, 'Our prayers are with him and his family,' showcasing team unity in the face of adversity. The Colts' struggles were compounded by the injuries to key players, including quarterback Anthony Richardson and running back Jonathan Taylor, and this incident adds further pressure on the team's performance moving forward.
In their continued disappointment, the Colts fell to the Jaguars yet again, marking their 10th consecutive road loss to Jacksonville. This grim statistic spans three different head coaches and eight quarterbacks, highlighting a struggle amidst changing rosters and coaching strategies. The Colts' inability to secure a victory in Jacksonville now serves as a significant psychological barrier for the team, coming back from deficits has not translated into wins.
As the season progresses, the Colts are burdened with injuries, particularly after losing key contributors like Fries. This adds depth concerns along the offensive line and raises questions about the team’s ability to recover mentally and physically for upcoming games. The team's resilience will be tested further, as they must strategize effectively to overcome both the physical limitations and the psychological toll of ongoing losses.
