The former New York Giants quarterback tore his Achilles in a Week 14 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars but is expected to be ready for the start of the season, according to ESPN’s report.
The Colts used the transition tag on Jones prior to the March 3 deadline, not allowing him to hit the open market as a free agent. That tag allowed the Colts to match any offer made to Jones, and the quarterback would have been paid $37.833 million.

Jones signed with the Colts last season on a one-year deal and beat out Anthony Richardson for the starting job. The Colts, led by Jones and the team’s prolific offense, got out to an 8-2 start.
However, Jones sustained a hairline fibula fracture in his leg, and the team went 0-3 as he tried to play through it. Jones tore his Achilles in his other leg.
