Overview
- Jones progressed to non-padded seven-on-seven periods during Indianapolis’ OTAs on Monday and was reported by media to go 5-for-6 with two short touchdown throws.
- Coach Shane Steichen said the club will keep Jones in seven-on-seven work through the end of OTAs and will not move him into full-team 11-on-11 sessions until training camp.
- Coaches instructed Jones to avoid scrambling during drills as part of a cautious, stepwise rehab plan designed to lower contact and re-injury risk.
- The Colts added veteran quarterback Easton Stick and released Seth Henigan while Anthony Richardson and Riley Leonard continue competing for the backup role behind Jones.
- Seven-on-seven work is a non-padded, pass-focused stage that shortens contact exposure and the next checkpoints are the mandatory veteran minicamp in early June followed by full-team work at training camp in late July.
