Colts' Daniel Jones says he's fully cleared for training camp

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones is officially cleared for training camp following the recovery from the Achilles injury that ended his 2025 season. Jones confirmed his status on Monday, noting that he is prepared to participate in full team drills and 11-on-11 work as the team begins practice this week.

This recovery marks a major step for the quarterback who signed a two-year deal worth up to $100 million this offseason. Before his injury, Jones experienced a strong 2025 campaign, including career highs in passing yards per attempt and completion rate. He helped the Colts start the season with an 8-2 record before suffering a string of injuries late in the year.

While Jones is ready, the team will begin camp without receiver Alec Pierce. The Colts placed Pierce on the physically unable to perform list as he continues recovery from an ankle surgery performed in March. Pierce signed a significant long-term extension with the team during the offseason but will remain sidelined for the start of team activities.

Training camp is critical for the Colts as they look to build on the foundation set before the late-season injuries last year. The team faces the Baltimore Ravens in their Week 1 matchup and will use the upcoming weeks to get the offense back up to speed under game-level intensity.
