Daniel Jones Advances to Seven-on-Seven Drills but Remains Out of 11-on-11 Work at Colts Minicamp

Daniel Jones advanced from individual drills to seven-on-seven work during the Indianapolis Colts’ June 2026 minicamp while continuing to rehabilitate an Achilles tear. Jones was held out of 11-on-11 drills this spring. Mike Chappell of Fox59 reported that Jones is expected to take part in the beginning of training camp practices in July, though a full workload may not be immediate.

“I think I’m closer,” the 29-year-old said. “I think there’s still work to be done. ” Jones avoided setbacks during his recovery. The Colts placed the transition tag on him and later signed him to a two-year, $88 million contract.

In his first season with Indianapolis, Jones led the team to an 8-2 start before the bye. He had sustained a leg fracture prior to the Achilles tear, after which Philip Rivers came out of retirement and started briefly. The Colts have not reached the playoffs since 2020.

The team drafted Anthony Richardson with the fourth overall pick, and he remains on the roster. All parties are heavily invested in Jones returning to full health well in advance of Week 1 and repeating his level of play prior to the injury.
