Shane Steichen announced Daniel Jones as the starting quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts, stating confidence in his abilities without a short leash. Offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter emphasized Jones' veteran presence in overcoming various game situations due to his extensive experience. Meanwhile, Bengals pass rusher Trey Hendrickson is close to agreeing on a contract extension, focusing on security rather than recognition. Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Jalen McMillan will miss regular-season time due to an unspecified injury.
"He's our starting quarterback for the season," said Steichen. "I don't want to have a quick leash on that. I feel confident in his abilities."
"Daniel does a nice job," said Colts offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter. "First off, he is a veteran quarterback who's played a lot of football. And the more football you play, the more you see, the more experience you have of dealing with problems..."
Trey Hendrickson said that he and the team, "are in close agreement on the total average annual salary and the length of the deal," according to ESPN's Bengals reporter Ben Baby.
"Recognition's not something I'm chasing," Hendrickson said. "Security is something that I value and [telling] my wife where we're going to play. Those are the things that matter to me."
