It's too much. He's gonna get fukking hit, especially when teams know he has a broken bone. His running ability is one of his best attributes.
I think part of it is Indy legit doesn't have another option.
AR got injured off the field, leaving Riley Leonard as the backup. Staff probably knew there's almost no chance with Leonard.
Steichen and Ballard also on the hot seat along with Jones being desperate to prove.
As long as he was medically cleared this was probably the most likely + unavoidable outcome.
