Sources: Colts' Daniel Jones out for season with torn Achilles

[Auggie]

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Daniel Jones helped spark a massive turnaround in the Indianapolis Colts' offense through the first half of the season.

Now, as Indianapolis sputters to the finish line, Jones will be a spectator.

The Colts quarterback, who helped engineer an offense that was on a record trajectory through eight weeks, suffered a season-ending Achilles tear in the first quarter of Sunday's 36-19 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, sources confirmed to ESPN. He's set to undergo surgery.

The injury and the subsequent defeat leave the Colts in a daunting situation, with a rookie backup quarterback under center, a brutal stretch run ahead and dimming playoff hopes.

Remaining schedule: at the Seattle Seahawks, home against the San Francisco 49ers and Jacksonville, then at the Houston Texans.

1. Crazy to think they might go from a 7-1 start to finish at 8-9.

They looked like world beaters at one point.
