Daniel Jones Ahead of Schedule After Achilles Surgery

0:00On April 22nd, Colt's head coach Shane Stuykin dropped some good news on quarterback Daniel Jones during his pre-draft media session this week. The guy just resigned for a massive $100 million deal, and he's already back to throwing passes and doing drop-backs just months after. Achilles' surgery, Jones tore his Achilles in week 14 last season and went under the knife on December 9th. That's quit progress for such a tough injury, and both he and the team feel solid about hitting training camp if things keep going this way, though. No farm return date yet. Achilles' tears hit athletes hard, often taking a full year or more to bounce back fully, especially for mobile players like Jones, who rely on that. First, pass Colt's like running back Vig Ballard and defensive end Samson Ebbacom struggle to regain their edge here, but quarterback sometimes have a slight advantage. Right now, Jones looks ahead of schedule, and that two-year contract suggests 2026 might be his ramp up year, with eyes on peak form by 2027.
