Daniel Jones News
Tuesday, April 21, 10:06 AM
Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen told the media on Tuesday that quarterback Daniel Jones (Achilles) is "dropping back and throwing" as he recovers from a torn Achilles that he suffered in the Week 14 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars last year, according to Mike Chappell of FOX 59. General manager Chris Ballard said on Monday in a pre-draft news conference that Jones is "progressing really well." Despite the 28-year-old's torn Achilles, the Colts doubled down on him as their starting QB this offseason by signing him to a two-year, $88 million deal to bring him back for the next two seasons. The former sixth overall pick of the New York Giants in 2019 out of Duke looked great in his 13 starts in his first year in Indy in 2025 before going down with his Achilles injury, throwing for 3,101 yards, 19 touchdowns, and eight interceptions. There is optimism that he'll be ready for Week 1 of the 2026 regular season, although fantasy managers should be viewing him as a risk/reward QB2 in drafts this fall.

Dillon Gabriel News
Saturday, April 25, 12:42 PM
The Cleveland Browns have "no plans" to trade quarterback Dillon Gabriel, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. The Browns have a very crowded quarterback room once again. Shedeur Sanders and Deshaun Watson are in the mix to start Week 1, Gabriel remains in a depth role, and Cleveland selected Arkansas quarterback prospect Taylen Green in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. The Browns likely won't carry four quarterbacks into the regular season, and it seems unlikely that they'd trade Sanders, Watson, or Green, so that would presumably position Gabriel as the odd man out. The former third-round pick out of Oregon played 10 games (six starts) as a rookie last year, completing 59.5% of his pass attempts for 937 passing yards, seven passing interceptions, and two interceptions. Schefter says Gabriel isn't a trade candidate, though. It will be interesting to see how the roster unfolds as the 2026 regular season gets closer. One potential solution is to carry Watson and Sanders as the active quarterbacks on gameday, make Gabriel the emergency third quarterback, and have Green start his career on the practice squad.
