Colts defensive tackle Arthur Jones left Saturday’s game against the Rams in a walking boot after injuring his left ankle early in the contest.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that x-rays on the ankle were negative, but coach Chuck Pagano said that Jones would undergo a full evaluation on Sunday. That evaluation will apparently include a visit to an ankle specialist.
Josina Anderson of ESPN reports that Jones had an MRI on Sunday and that he will now go to see a specialist as he looks for an answer about the severity of his injury.
It’s a familiar situation for the Colts, who played without Jones seven times last season while he was making his way back from a high ankle sprain. He’s a big part of their plans to have a better run defense this season, so another extended absence would be a blow to the Colts up front. Montori Hughes and Zach Kerr saw first-team snaps at defensive tackle after Jones left the game.
