Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones has made notable strides in his recovery from a ruptured right Achilles tendon, which he suffered just over four months ago. Coach Shane Steichen announced that Jones has started dropping back and throwing, a significant milestone in his rehabilitation process. Jones, who recently signed a lucrative two-year, $88 million contract extension after an impressive debut season in 2025, has been dedicated to his recovery, working daily from 8 AM to 3 PM.
