Indianapolis Colts’ cornerback Jaylon Jones has had quite the roller coaster ride over the past five or six years. He was a five-star recruit coming out of high school. At Texas A&M, he made slow, steady progress but never took the big leap forward that had been expected.

Rookie Riley Leonard will make his first NFL start Sunday in Houston after the Colts chose him over Philip Rivers as their starting quarterback for Week 18.

“Riley is a pro,” Rivers said, via ProFootballTalk.

The Indianapolis Colts have settled their quarterback situation heading into the final week of the regular season. Head coach Shane Steichen confirmed that Riley Leonard will start Sunday, providing clarity at the position as the team closes out the 2025 campaign.
