From the article

With a fully healthy Daniel Jones at starting quarterback, the Colts featured a historically elite offense, and once sat at 8-2 at their midseason BYE week. However, critical later season lower leg injuries to Jones, capped off by a season-ending torn Achilles, derailed Indianapolis' once promising campaign—as the Colts lost 7 straight games, falling to 8-7, and failed to make the playoffs again in rather stunning fashion... with Jones re-signed and looking healthy coming off the Achilles tear... they could be poised to reclaim their 2025 midseason form and return to postseason play.

Jones' health recovery could restore Colts' elite 2025 midseason form in 2026.

The source notes that with a fully healthy Daniel Jones at starting quarterback, the Colts featured a historically elite offense and sat at 8-2 at their midseason BYE week in 2025. However, critical later season lower leg injuries to Jones, capped off by a season-ending torn Achilles, derailed Indianapolis' once promising campaign as the Colts lost 7 straight games and fell to 8-7, missing the playoffs. For 2026, Jones is re-signed and looking healthy coming off the Achilles tear, positioning the Colts to reclaim their 2025 midseason form and return to postseason play.
