Though the 2026 NFL Draft is only days away, teams continue evaluating players already on their rosters. After a busy free-agency period, clubs have begun workouts to assess their lineups.
The Indianapolis Colts stayed active during the opening week of free agency. They retained wide receiver Alec Pierce and used the franchise tag on quarterback Daniel Jones.
Jones has been recovering from an Achilles injury since late last season, which raised questions about his availability early in the year. Now, the Colts have provided an encouraging update. Head coach Shane Steichen told the media that Jones has already resumed dropping back and throwing at this stage of his recovery.

This progress is a major boost for both Jones and the Colts. Without the eighth-year veteran out of Duke University, the team collapsed late in the season and missed the playoffs. Jones had guided the Colts to a 7–1 start and appeared on track for a career resurgence after joining the team following his 2024 stint with the Minnesota Vikings.
