AFC Notes: Daniel Jones, Ruke Orhorhoro, Colts, Jaguars, Texans

Colts

Colts GM Chris Ballard said that QB Daniel Jones is progressing well in rehab and they’re not ruling him out for the season opener.

He’s throwing, he’s moving. So, he’s in a really good spot,” Ballard said, via PFT. “Final timeline, I don’t [know], we’re all shooting for Week 1, for sure. But we’ll kind of let his body dictate [that]. But, he’s in a really good place and moving along.

  • Ballard revealed that CB Kenny Moore II and QB Anthony Richardson Sr. are not present on the first day of offseason workouts because both players have requested trades. (Holder)
  • Ballard on not having a first-round pick: “I would anticipate us being pretty aggressive in trying to move around the board.” (Holder)

Jaguars

  • Jaguars HC Liam Coen commented on the DT Maason Smith and DT Ruke Orhorhoro trade and said that Orhorhoro can add to their run defense without giving up the pass rush: “I have a lot of respect for Maason Smith. He did nothing but what we asked him to do… we felt like we had an opportunity to add a potentially ascending player who can provide in the rush… without giving up in the run game. Big man who can move, get in the rush plan.” (Mia O’Brien)
  • Tennessee Volunteers EDGE Tyre West had a virtual meeting with Jaguars DL Coach Matt Edwards. (Justin Melo)
