Colts Say Daniel Jones Is Throwing Again, Target Training Camp Return

Indianapolis signals cautious optimism about a training camp return.

Overview

  • Head coach Shane Steichen said Tuesday that roughly four and a half months after a Dec. 7 Achilles tear, Daniel Jones has resumed drop-backs and throwing.
  • The Colts anticipate readiness for July training camp, and his workload for spring OTAs remains undecided as the staff prioritizes caution.
  • General manager Chris Ballard said the team is shooting for a Week 1 return and will let Jones’ body set the timetable.
  • Steichen consulted Celtics president Brad Stevens on Jayson Tatum’s Achilles rehab, and Jones and Tatum had surgery with the same specialist, Dr. Martin O’Malley.
  • Indianapolis underscored its commitment with a two-year extension worth about $88 million, and coaches say Jones has been in the building daily for long rehab sessions.
