Overview
- Daniel Jones completed every reported first‑team throw during Wednesday’s joint practice, with multiple outlets tracking him as 14‑for‑14 or 15‑for‑15 while showing accurate throws on the move and easy scrambling.
- The practice offered on‑field confirmation that Jones has largely recovered from his Dec. 7, 2025 right Achilles tear after accelerated rehab and a two‑year, $88 million re‑signing this offseason.
- Colts coaches still saw clear offensive-line and running‑game issues when facing Atlanta’s defense, including a blown-up Jonathan Taylor run and a quick sack after a missed block.
- The team must manage a string of skill‑player injuries that limit targets, with tight end Tyler Warren exiting with a groin issue, running back D.J. Giddens leaving with hamstring tightness, and wideout Alec Pierce still on PUP while Keenan Allen watched but did not practice.
- Indianapolis’ defense dominated portions of the session, highlighted by Justin Walley’s pick‑six, a development that gives the staff confidence as they evaluate depth and final roster choices before the preseason game.
