Colts QB Daniel Jones 'full participant' for training camp after Achilles tear, coach says

Per NFL.com, quarterback Daniel Jones said he was “feeling good” coming off an Achilles tear and that he was “good to go” for training camp. Colts head coach Shane Steichen is quoted saying, “He looks great. He’s attacked the rehab process, as good as it gets,” and that Jones “will be a full participant.” The article notes Jones took part in 7-on-7 work and individual drills during OTAs and the June minicamp but was held out of full-team reps.

The NFL.com report lists outstanding questions about Jones’ recovery — his ability to regain push-off and burst on the injured leg, early-season accuracy and mobility versus his prior level — and says those answers won’t be available until camp “kicks into gear.” The piece also notes the Colts signed Jones to a two-year contract in the offseason and chose not to add an experienced veteran backup. The article quotes Jones attending the NFL FLAG Championships broadcast in Westfield, Indiana and saying, “I feel good. Really good,” and that the team was scheduled to report the next day (Monday) with the first practice Wednesday.
