Overview
- Colts doctors cleared Daniel Jones for non‑contact 7-on-7 work and held him out of 11-on-11 drills as he continues rehab from the Dec. 7, 2025 torn Achilles.
- Coaches have signaled a cautious, stepwise plan that will add contact work in training camp only if Jones passes medical and functional milestones.
- Recent reports on June 21 and June 22 indicated Jones is likely to be present at the start of training camp and may avoid opening camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list.
- If Jones is not ready for Week 1 on Sept. 13 the Colts have internal alternatives in Anthony Richardson and Riley Leonard who would compete for early snaps.
- The Colts backed Jones with a two‑year, $88 million deal that shaped roster choices this spring while some analysts question whether his 2025 breakout can be repeated after the injury.
