Colts QB Daniel Jones faces critical evaluation entering 2026 season
Summary

Daniel Jones has been named the Colts' player on the 'hot seat' as the 2026 season approaches. After recovering from a torn Achilles, he has participated in training camp and is expected to return to his strong performance from last year. In the 2025 season, Jones completed 68% of his passes for 3,101 yards and 19 touchdowns. The Colts re-signed him to a two-year, $88 million contract this past March, allowing for a possible exit after 2026 if necessary. With mobility critical to the Colts' offense, his performance will be closely scrutinized this season.
