Torn Achilles injury raises concerns about arm strength and passing game

Daniel JonesQB

JJ Zachariason expresses concern about Daniel Jones coming off a torn Achilles injury affecting the Colts offense; he worries Jones' reduced arm strength and potential hobbled state will limit the passing game despite Tyler Warren's role security. Zachariason notes Jones had only one truly good year in his career (2023 with the Giants) and a great 10-week stretch in Indianapolis before regressing, projecting him as a reduced-arm-strength version post-Achilles tear in a "not good at all range" for 2026.
