Daniel Jones’s current injury designation is shown in the live status box above, which updates automatically from the official NFL injury report. He tore his right Achilles on Dec. 7, 2025, took all first-team reps by late July, per CBS Sports, and sat out the preseason as a precaution.
In the Week 2 overtime loss at Kansas City, Jones went 22 of 31 for 210 yards with a touchdown and an interception and ran three times for 10 yards, per NBC Sports. Alec Pierce has since gone to injured reserve with a heel injury.
Fantasy Action: Jones is a matchup-based QB2; his rushing, a big part of his 2025 value, has been muted since the Achilles tear, so keep him out of 12-team one-QB lineups until his legs return.
