Colts quarterback Daniel Jones earns C grade in Week 1 return
Summary

Colts quarterback Daniel Jones returned from an Achilles injury in Week 1 but faced scrutiny after Indianapolis' 41-23 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. According to Bleacher Report’s Brent Sobleski, Jones completed 19 of 31 passes for 166 yards, contributing one touchdown and one interception. Despite the loss, Jones showed resilience, returning to action just nine months post-injury. The Colts aimed to manage his workload with quick passes, and while Jones had a solid start, the team struggled to maintain momentum against Baltimore. Looking ahead, Jones has an opportunity to improve in a Week 2 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.
