Jones cleared from Achilles surgery; Colts expect week-one return on track.

Daniel Jones was medically cleared after surgery on his torn Achilles tendon sustained in December, with the announcement coming 15 days before veterans report for Indianapolis. Jones stated he has hit milestones pre-minicamp and can do everything, though he's still thinking about the Achilles during training and recovery. The Colts invested a two-year, $88 million extension in him with the expectation he'd be back week one; the timeline appears on track. Training camp will likely feature measured integration with seven-on-seven drills initially and limited 11-on-11 work with pads to keep him away from traffic, with Anthony Richardson and Riley Cooper likely getting more preseason reps.
