"INDIANAPOLIS -- Colts quarterback Riley Leonard, who replaced injured starter Daniel Jones after his season-ending Achilles tear on Sunday, is now dealing with an injury of his own. Coach Shane Steichen said Leonard, a sixth-round pick from Notre Dame, reported an unspecified knee issue to the team's medical staff Monday morning. The team, Steichen said, is "working through that right now.""
"Asked whether Leonard was expected to play on Sunday, when the Colts visit the Seattle Seahawks, Steichen said, "That's the hope. We'll see how it goes." Steichen offered no details on the nature of Leonard's injury or its severity. Leonard did not indicate he had sustained an injury during his time on the field Sunday. He finished the game after entering on the final play of the first quarter, completing 18 of 29 pass attempts for 145 yards and one interception."
Riley Leonard reported an unspecified knee issue to Colts medical staff Monday after replacing injured starter Daniel Jones, and the team is evaluating the condition. Coach Shane Steichen said the organization is "working through that right now" and expressed hope Leonard will play Sunday at Seattle but offered no details on severity. Leonard finished the prior game after entering on the final play of the first quarter, completing 18 of 29 passes for 145 yards and one interception. Leonard has been the primary backup since Anthony Richardson Sr. entered injured reserve following a pregame stretching-band incident that caused a facial fracture. The Colts are expected to pursue at least one quarterback transaction depending on Leonard's status.
