Daniel Jones expresses confidence in return following Achilles injury

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones has expressed confidence regarding his recovery from a torn Achilles suffered in December. Jones stated he is “feeling good about being in a live action game” as he prepares for Week 1, noting that he has completed most phases of the recovery process through training camp reps.

Despite his return, questions remain regarding his long-term future with the team. Reports suggest that if Jones's performance does not meet expectations in the 2025 season, the Colts may consider a contract opt-out or a trade. Analysts note that while his future in Indianapolis is not guaranteed, there is significant interest from other NFL coaches who value his toughness and processing ability.

Additionally, Colts head coach Shane Steichen confirmed that Anthony Richardson will serve as the team's number two quarterback.
