Colts coach Shane Steichen called him day to day and a pinky injury doesn't sound serious, but if you can't grip the football correctly, you can't play quarterback, and the pinky finger does serve an important role in a quarterback's grip.

Jones entered the preseason game earlier than expected when Anthony Richardson went down with an ugly pinky injury on his throwing hand.
