The Indianapolis Colts will have their starting quarterback back on the field when they open training camp on Wednesday.
Daniel Jones said that he’s been fully cleared to participate in camp from the Achilles injury that ended his 2025 season.
“I’m feeling good,” Jones said on ESPN’s The Pat McAfee Show Monday. “Plan is to be back in 11-on-11, full team drills Wednesday when we start up practice.”
Jones has not played since early December when he suffered the Achilles injury during a loss at Jacksonville. He also was playing with a broken bone in his left leg.
Before the injuries, Jones established career highs in passing yards per attempt (8.1), QBR (63.0) and completion rate (68 per cent). His strong play helped the Colts get off to an 8-2 start before they faded down the stretch without Jones and missed the playoffs.
Despite his injury, Jones re-signed with the Colts this off-season on a two-year deal worth up to $100 million.
“I’m in a really good spot,” Jones said Monday. “I can do everything. There’s nothing that I can’t do. There’s still that last little bit that you’re working to get back, but I feel good in the next month or so as I get into team drills, 11-on-11 doing everything again, coming back and feeling 100 per cent.”
The Colts open the 2026 regular season against the Baltimore Ravens on Sept. 13.
