Jones participated in individual drills in front of reporters on Wednesday, but was held out of 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 sessions. Last month, head coach Shane Steichen announced to reporters that Jones was already throwing a football and walking on his back six months after surgery.
Jones thrived in his first season with the Colts, completing 68% of his passes for 3,101 yards and 19 touchdowns (eight interceptions) while compiling an 8-5 record. Indy’s hot start came to a screeching halt when Jones suffered a torn Achilles in Week 14, continuing a seven-game losing streak to shut out 2025 from playoff contention.
The Colts kept their faith in Jones despite the injury in the form of a two-year, $88 million deal last season.
While Wednesday’s update doesn’t prove Jones is back to full health, the Colts quarterback appears to be super excited heading into the Sept. 13 season opener against the Baltimore Ravens.
