Colts place RG Will Fries (leg) on injured reserve

Indianapolis Colts right guard Will Fries was placed on injured reserve Monday with a fractured right lower leg suffered in Sunday's loss at Jacksonville.

Fries, 26, underwent surgery on Sunday night, per Colts coach Shane Steichen.

Fries had his right leg rolled up on during a run by Trey Sermon. 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 veteran and medical staffers placed an air cast on Fries' leg.

Fries has started 31 of 41 NFL games played since being drafted in the seventh round in 2021, including all 17 last season and the first five of the 2024 campaign.

The Colts also waived cornerback Dallis Flowers, who had appeared in four games this season.

Flowers, 27, is his third season with the Colts and has nine tackles, including one for loss, and one kick return for 30 yards this season.

In 21 career games (five starts) with Indianapolis, Flowers has 32 tackles, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. He has also averaged 30.6 yards on 25 kickoff returns and 4.3 yards on three punt returns.
