Jones cleared for camp but Achilles recovery timeline remains uncertain despite nine-month NFL standard.

Jones was cleared to fully participate in training camp after tearing his right Achilles tendon in December, but clearance doesn't mean he's back to 100 percent of his pre-injury health and mobility; the NFL historically views Achilles tears as requiring a nine-month recovery period, though some players have beaten that timeline. Padded work will help clarify his progress more than shells work. The Colts believe Jones can replicate the performance that sparked their 8-2 start last season, but recovering fully and wisely is crucial given his prior fractured fibula on the other leg may have contributed to compensation patterns.
