## Resource

Daniel Jones is back, fully healthy and ready to lead the Indianapolis Colts into training camp as the undisputed starter after overcoming leg and Achilles injuries that sidelined him last season. His return brings optimism and energy to the team, especially after his strong pre-injury performance—68% completion, 3K+ yards, 19 TDs. With Jones locked in, the focus turns to managing reps for backups Anthony Richardson and Riley Leonard, both getting significant preseason time as they compete for roles. Coach Shane Steichen is impressed with their progress, especially Richardson’s recovery from a previous eye injury. Meanwhile, GM Chris Ballard confirms Richardson’s trade request remains active, but insists the Colts won’t part with him cheaply. The team’s priority? Building depth and evaluating Jones’s mobility as they gear up for the regular season. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
