Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones says he is fully cleared for training camp after tearing his Achilles tendon in early December, less than eight months ago. Multiple reports describe Jones as moving well and feeling good while doing all activities, with concerns about the injury increasingly addressed through recent practice participation. According to accounts from camp and offseason workouts, Jones took steps toward full participation during OTAs and minicamp, then checks a key milestone by returning to full team practice drills for the start of training camp. Several outlets also note that while Jones appears to be moving like his old self, the Colts and observers emphasize that continued attention to mechanics and how he manages the return process remains important. Alongside the health update, there is focus on performance expectations: Jones needs to do more than be available. He is expected to build on the form he showed earlier in 2025, including an impressive fast start, while showing that the early success is sustainable rather than a one-off. Overall, sources align that Jones’ recovery is progressing and that the upcoming practices are a test of both durability and game-ready execution.
