Life is moving in fast-forward for rookie quarterback Riley Leonard since he grabbed his helmet and ran onto the field to replace injured Indianapolis Colts starter Daniel Jones in Jacksonville last Sunday.
The Indianapolis Colts found themselves in a most unfortunate situation on Sunday.
After Daniel Jones' injury, the course of the Colts' season might now be determined by a sixth-round rookie QB. But who is Riley Leonard?
The sixth-round rookie draft pick replaces the injured Daniel Jones late in the first quarter. Here are Riley Leonard's stats against the Jaguars.
The Colts haven't named a quarterback for Sunday's game against the Seahawks yet, but it doesn't look like Riley Leonard's knee soreness is going to rule him out of the running for the start.
The rookie signal caller considers Rivers a mentor.
And you thought it couldn't get worse, Colts fans. Quarterback Riley Leonard has a knee injury, status for Sunday is unknown
An already chaotic Colts quarterback situation has become worse with the revelation from Colts head coach Shane Steichen on Monday afternoon that rookie third-string turned backup turned starting QB Riley Leonard suffered an injury to his right knee during Sunday’s road loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Colts have already lost Daniel Jones for the year. Now, backup quarterback Riley Leonard is dealing with a knee injury of his own.
The most likely out of these three is that the Colts trust Jones' rehab enough to retain him on a short-term deal. Initially, it was believed the Colts were preparing to give Jones a long-term deal, given how well he was playing and fitting with Shane Steichen's offense. Obviously, that is now a murky subject.
