""He's in every meeting," coach Shane Steichen said a few days prior to the season finale. "... He comes to every practice. He's always around. Still in the QB meetings. Off days, he's in the QB room, studying the tape, preparing, even though he's not playing. Still going through everything. So, he's still fully engaged.""
""It's not like I'd be doing anything else.""
Daniel Jones sustained a torn right Achilles tendon a month earlier and began rehabilitation with his lower leg still immobilized. He traveled to NRG Stadium in Houston for the final game despite the Colts being eliminated and his limited mobility. Jones boarded the team flight, attended practices, joined QB meetings, studied tape on off days and supported rookie Riley Leonard while rehabbing. He expressed commitment to staying with the Colts and the team reciprocates interest. Jones is not under contract for 2026 and faces potential free agency, raising questions about negotiations, a multiyear deal and his readiness for the 2026 season.
