Daniel Jones Is Eager to Get Back on the Field as Colts Face Ravens in Sunday's Season Opener
Jones returns after a nearly nine-month rehab and $88 million extension, with coach Shane Steichen saying he is ready for game-day contact.
- On Sunday, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones will start Week 1 against Baltimore, marking his first game action since tearing his right Achilles tendon in December.
- Following surgery on his torn Achilles, Jones underwent grueling rehabilitation, drawing inspiration from NBA star Tyrese Haliburton of the Indiana Pacers and Boston Celtics standout Jayson Tatum, who both recovered from similar injuries.
- Colts head coach Shane Steichen held Jones out of all preseason games to prioritize recovery, expressing confidence: "I had no doubt he was going to put in the work, and he did."
- Wide receiver Alec Pierce expects to play Sunday after ankle surgery, while Pro Bowler Jonathan Taylor manages his workload; the Colts re-signed Jones to an $88 million extension with incentives reaching up to $100 million.
- Jones feels prepared for live game action despite missing preseason hits, though synchronizing with new target Pro Bowler Keenan Allen remains the final step for the quarterback.
