Colts QB Daniel Jones Takes Another Significant Step in His Way Back From Torn Achilles Tendon
Jones advanced in his Achilles rehab as the Colts said he looked good in drills and may increase his workload this week.
- Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones participated in 7-on-7 drills on Monday, marking a significant step in his recovery from a torn right Achilles tendon suffered six months ago.
- Jones sustained the injury during the 2025 season at Jacksonville in early December, also playing with a broken left leg bone that derailed the team's strong start and sidelined him for the remainder of the year.
- Coach Shane Steichen cleared Jones for limited participation while instructing him to avoid scrambling, saying, "if it's not there throw it out of bounds." Steichen noted, "he looked good out there today."
- Indy signed free agent Easton Stick on Monday to bolster quarterback depth, while Anthony Richardson and Riley Leonard continue competing for the backup role as Jones remains sidelined from full-team work.
- Jones expects to start the September 13 season opener against Baltimore, with a return to full-team 11-on-11 workouts planned when the squad reports to training camp in July.
