Colts QB Daniel Jones shares his status for training camp

· Yahoo Sports

Indianapolis Colts will begin training camp at Grand Park in Westfield on Wednesday with starting quarterback Daniel Jones cleared of any participation restrictions the quarterback said on the Pat McAfee Show on Monday morning.

"I'm feeling really good and I'm going to be full go to start training camp. ... I'm ready to go," said Jones on his recovery and intentions to be on the field Week 1.

The clearance paves the way for the 28-year-old Jones, who enters his second season in Indianapolis, to lead the team's 11-on-11 drills during camp for the first time since Jones tore his right Achilles tendon in Jacksonville in Week 14 of last season.

Jones took part in the Colts' 7-on-7 action during the team's three-day mandatory mini-camp in June but was withheld from 11-on-11 work. Second-year quarterback Riley Leonard and former first-round pick Anthony Richardson -- the pair set to compete during camp for the Colts' backup QB spot -- handled 11-on-11 duties as Jones continued to ramp up his on-field work after hitting multiple benchmarks this spring.

Colts head coach Shane Steichen told reporters in mid-April that his team's starting QB, who this offseason agreed to a new two-year, $88 million contract to remain in Indianapolis, had already begun dropping back and throwing, and Jones was on the field for limited action in late-May for the start of the team's OTA action.

Multiple times, Jones ended practices viewed by the media in late spring with minutes of grueling wind sprints. Though he's looked less-than-100% in some scramble or rollout drills, the accuracy and velocity of his throws appeared to be unchanged from the quarterback who led the top offense in the NFL through the first 10 weeks of last season before injuries derailed his and his team's campaign. Jones has been adamant this offseason he was tracking toward another ramp-up come training camp and has showed no doubt in his ability to be ready for the team's season-opener Sept. 13 in Lucas Oil Stadium as the Colts host the Ravens.

Through 13 games with the Colts last season, here are the numbers Jones posted:

  • 3,101 pass yards
  • 19 passing touchdowns
  • 110.2 passer rating
  • 164 rushing yards
  • 5 rushing touchdowns

Indianapolis traded Michael Pittman Jr. in the offseason, but retained other key pass catchers such as Alec Pierce, Josh Downs, and Tyler Warren. In addition, Jonathan Taylor averaged over 106 rushing yards per game when playing alongside Jones
