The Indianapolis Colts' season has started to unravel after losing three straight games in addition to the loss of starting quarterback Daniel Jones for the remainder of the season with a torn Achilles.
Unfortunately for Colts fans, things won't be getting any easier down the stretch of the 2025 season. All four of their remaining matchups in the regular season come against teams with winning records contending for playoff spots in their respective conferences.
Additionally, the season-ending injury to Jones is far from the only injury concern plaguing the team heading into their Week 15 game against the Seattle Seahawks.

Not only will Indianapolis be without Daniel Jones, but they may also be without backup quarterback Riley Leonard and starting cornerback Charvarius Ward. Leonard is dealing with knee soreness, while Ward is officially in concussion protocol for a third time this season.

Ward's injury could very well be a crushing blow if it has long-term effects on his availability for the remainder of the season. Notably, Ward missed five games with his last concussion earlier this season, raising questions as to whether he should return at any point in 2025.
Meanwhile, Leonard's knee issue certainly could be notable given the lack of depth at the quarterback position for Indianapolis. Anthony Richardson, who came into the year as the No. 2 quarterback behind Daniel Jones, is also likely set to miss their Week 15 game due to his eye injury suffered earlier this year.
Even a healthy Colts team could certainly have trouble handling the Seahawks, given how great Seattle has looked this season.
Given where Indianapolis currently stands from a health perspective, it sure seems like they will have their hands full to keep their postseason hopes.
