Daniel Jones would "love to be back" with Colts in 2026

Colts owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon has affirmed the team's commitment to head coach Shane Steichen and General Manager Chris Ballard, citing the team's strong 7-1 start to the season as justification for maintaining their leadership. Quarterback Daniel Jones, who was instrumental in this early success, is expected to return to the Colts after recovering from an Achilles injury sustained in December. Steichen praised Jones' performance before his injury as "phenomenal." Jones expressed his desire to remain with the Colts, appreciating the organization and its staff. Despite Jones' optimism about returning for training camp, the Colts are mindful of his injury history and are considering additional quarterback options, with Anthony Richardson and Riley Leonard currently under contract.
