Daniel Jones Back Throwing, Colts' Postseason Hopes Ride on Him

0:00On April 22nd, the biggest storyline for the Indianapolis Colts this offseason is quarter bag Daniel Jones recovering from his torn right Achilles. Last year in 2025, the team walked him up with a major contract, betting big on him to end their playoff drought. Now there's fresh good news, straight from head coach Shane Steichen. Jones is already back throwing passes and doing dropbacks well ahead of organized team activities and training camp. This marks his first full offseason as the starter after battling Anthony Richardson for the gig last year. Colts fans are buzzing with excitement over this update, especially since Achilles' injuries can be brutal and slow to heal fully. The team isn't rushing him, but they desperately need him sharp for week one of the 2026 season to get the offense rolling. Meanwhile, wide receiver Alec Pierce had ankle surgery, sideline him through OTA's, with hopes he'll be good for training camp. That leaves second year quarterback Riley Leonard, grabbing all the first team reps right now.

1:00As Jones ramps up, keep an eye on how quickly he reclaims those snaps. The Colts hole postseason push hinges on him, sinking with the squad come fall.
