Daniel Jones Returns to Field for Individual Drills After Achilles Surgery

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones "absolutely" expects to be ready for Week 1 after tearing his Achilles just 5.5 months ago. Jones participated in individual throwing drills during Wednesday's OTAs, showing encouraging progress in his rehabilitation. While he has not yet been cleared for 7-on-7 or 11-on-11 team periods, his presence on the field marks a significant milestone. Jones acknowledged there is still work to be done to regain full strength and mobility for the 2026 season.
