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.
