Colts Enter Draft with Promising News on QB Daniel Jones and Looking to Make some Deals
Chris Ballard said Jones is throwing and moving well while the Colts weigh draft moves and possible trades involving Anthony Richardson and Kenny Moore II.
- Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard reported Monday that quarterback Daniel Jones is "progressing really well" in his Achilles recovery as the NFL draft begins this Thursday.
- Jones has been rehabilitating from a torn Achilles tendon suffered in December 2025. Ballard noted he is "throwing, moving" and in a "really good spot."
- Cornerback Kenny Moore, who counts $13.1 million against the salary cap, has requested a trade. The 30-year-old Pro Bowler wants a change of scenery with 2025 draft picks Justin Walley and Hunter Wohler as potential replacements.
- Quarterback Anthony Richardson is training independently in Jacksonville, Florida, as he seeks a trade. Ballard confirmed discussions with other teams, though "nothing's come to fruition at this time."
- Ballard plans to be aggressive in the draft, potentially moving up or back to acquire more selections. He remains undecided on Richardson's fifth-year option after injuries limited his three-year tenure.
