Daniel Jones

No. 17 · 8th season

His teammates keep forgetting he ever got hurt

A torn Achilles tendon is the kind of injury that changes how people look at you. The way they choose their words. The way they watch you warm up, just in case. Daniel Jones is getting none of that.

Jones came to the Indianapolis Colts carrying real damage — a torn Achilles, the injury that has ended careers and rewritten others. Those things tend to follow a player onto the practice field. They show up in the double-takes, the quiet concern from the people who know what the recovery actually costs.

But his teammates are not double-taking. By their own account, they keep having to remind themselves he was ever hurt at all. That is not a small thing. NFL players know what injured looks like. They know the difference between someone going through the motions and someone actually back.

What Jones is building in Indianapolis is still early. But the people in the building with him every day are not treating it like a recovery story anymore. They are treating it like a quarterback at training camp.
