Quarterback Daniel Jones popped up on the Indianapolis Colts' injury report last week with a fibula injury.
After being limited on Thursday, he was a full participant during Friday's practice and was a full-go for Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Jones finished the game completing 19-of-31 passes for 181 yards with two touchdowns. He also ran the ball three times for 16 yards, including a long of 13 yards.
Against the blitz-heavy Chiefs' defense, the Colts' offensive line allowed no sacks and six quarterback hits.
On Monday, head coach Shane Steichen was asked about Jones' fibula injury and if that was a factor at all in Sunday's game.

Steichen added that Jones' injury did not limit his play-calling either.
The Colts will be back on the practice field Wednesday as they prepare for a Houston team that boasts a very disruptive pass rush. At that time, we will see if Jones is still listed on the injury report.
