Daniel Jones Set to Return, Colts Aim for Playoffs

0:00On March 11th, Colts quarterback Daniel Jones is on track to return from his torn Achilles tendon in time for the regular season start. ESPN reporter Adam Schefter says sources expect him to be fully ready, with one even predicting he'll join training camp without issues. Jones missed the end of last season due to the injury but showed plenty of promise before that. Jones signed with the Colts last year and beat out Anthony Richardson for the starting job. Early in the season, he led a high-powered offense that had the team looking like a top contender in the league. That momentum faded in the second half, as nagging injury slowed Jones down, culminating in the Achilles tear that sidelineed him for good. Fans and team brass were left hoping for a strong rebound. The Colts still have most of their key pieces from that hot start, including bringing back wide receiver Allie Pierce. They did trade Michael Pittman Jr. to the Pittsburgh Steelers though, so adding depth that wide receiver is now a priority. With Jones healthy and the core intact, Indianapolis aims to pick up right where they left
