Indianapolis Colts QB Daniel Jones (Achilles) said he plans to be a full participant at the start of training camp.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players will need to monitor the situation to see if Jones receives any days off during camp, but he seems confident about being ready for Week 1. He posted solid numbers before his injury last season but should only be considered a No. 2 fantasy quarterback.

Indianapolis Colts QB Daniel Jones (Achilles) said he is "cleared to do everything" as he rehabs from a torn Achilles. "I think it's just about, at this point, sharpening that," Jones said.
Huddle Up: Although Jones seems to have a chance to be ready for Week 1, returning from an Achilles injury can be difficult. Don't be surprised if it takes Jones a while to regain his mobility, which will take a toll on his fantasy value. He should be viewed as a midrange QB2 entering 2026.

Indianapolis Colts QB Daniel Jones (Achilles) is participating in seven-on-seven drills during the voluntary workout Monday, June 1.
Huddle Up: Jones is making progress in his recovery, but it is not known when he will be a full participant in practice again. He will be the starter once he is healthy but will only be a No. 2 quarterback in fantasy leagues.

Indianapolis Colts QB Daniel Jones participated in some capacity in OTAs on Tuesday, May 2. He's closing in on six months post right Achilles surgery.
Huddle Up: This is an optimistic sign for Colts fans and fantasy owners of Jones. However, coming back from a torn Achilles is tough, especially for a mobile quarterback, so his being a QB2 at this point seems fair and allows fantasy players to proceed with caution. Jones was in the midst of his best NFL season prior to the injury, completing a career high 68 percent of his passes with 19 touchdown passes in 13 games to go along with five rushing scores.

Indianapolis Colts QBs Riley Leonard and Anthony Richardson are set to battle for the primary backup job to starter QB Daniel Jones, while QB Seth Henigan is also on the roster. Offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter said it's "still early" and "too soon" to determine a frontrunner for the QB2 job.

Indianapolis Colts HC Shane Steichen told the media that QB Daniel Jones continues on his path to playing following a torn Achilles. Steichen added that he did "anticipate him being ready for training camp."
Huddle Up: Jones being back for the season seems to be on the table, and fantasy players should take note of that. However, coming back from a torn Achilles is tough, especially for a mobile quarterback, so his being a QB2 at this point seems fair and allows fantasy players to proceed with caution.

Indianapolis Colts QB Daniel Jones (Achilles) is dealing well in his recovery from an Achilles injury and has been throwing and moving around as part of his rehab, according to general manager Chris Ballard.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players will need to monitor the situation to see if Jones will be ready for training camp and the start of the regular season. He played well during the first half of the 2025 season but probably will be a No. 2 quarterback in most leagues in 2026.

Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen says Colts QB Daniel Jones "is not fazed by anything anymore", according to a report on Tuesday, March 31.
Huddle Up: "He's been heavily criticized in New York. He's had an injury here. He had another injury with the Giants (torn ACL)," Steichen explained. "He's been through the fire pretty good." Jones was one of the top fantasy QBs in 2025 until tearing his Achilles in Week 14 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Jones completed 68 percent of his passes for 3,101 yards with 19 touchdowns while adding five scores on the ground in 13 games.

Indianapolis Colts QB Daniel Jones (Achilles) has a chance to be ready to start in Week 1, according to general manager Chris Ballard. "We feel good about where he is at and where he's going," Ballard said.
Huddle Up: Jones was putting together a solid season before injuries struck, culminating with an Achilles injury that ended his season. Assuming Jones is ready to start the season, he has shown he can be a steady QB2 in the Indianapolis offense.
