Indianapolis Colts right guard Will Fries was carted off the field with a fractured right lower leg during the third quarter of Sunday’s 37-34 loss at the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Fries, 26, fractured his tibia, ESPN reported. Colts coach Shane Steichen announced after the game that Fries will undergo surgery at a Jacksonville hospital on Sunday night.
“Prayers and thoughts go out with him and his family,” Steichen said.
Fries had his right leg rolled up on during Trey Sermon’s 2-yard run. He reached for his lower leg and time was stopped with 5:22 left in the quarter.
A cart was brought out to remove the fourth-year pro and medical staffers placed an air cast on Fries’ leg.
Players from both teams surrounded the cart and offered Fries well wishes before he was taken off.
Fries pumped his left arm into the air multiple times while being removed and the Jacksonville fans cheered wildly.
Fries has started 31 of 41 NFL games played, including all 17 last season and the first five of the 2024 campaign.
