Colts coach Shane Steichen says Daniel Jones will remain starting QB

Shane Steichen reiterated on Oct. 26, 2026, that Daniel Jones will remain the Indianapolis Colts’ starting quarterback as the team travels to Jacksonville for Week 8. The Colts’ official postgame/video page and the team’s Week 7 recap carry Steichen’s comments; NBC Sports published a same-day report summarizing the remarks.

NBC Sports' report summarized Jones’ recent and season-long numbers, saying that in the last four games he completed 55% of his passes for 787 yards with one touchdown, four interceptions, one lost fumble and 13 sacks. The story also gave Jones’ season totals as 60% completions for 1,398 yards with four touchdowns, seven interceptions, three lost fumbles and 19 sacks (7.3% of his dropbacks). These statistical details are reported by NBC Sports, not independently verified here by BusinessIndy staffers. (Quote attributed to Steichen via the Colts’ video pages: "He knows he’s got to play better.")
