Colts' Jaylon Jones: Taking reps with starters
Jaylon Jones has been logging work with the starters during OTAs, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.Jones worked primarily as a starter last season, though that was largely due to Dallis Flowers suffering an Achilles injury in Week 4. Flowers has returned to the field, but Jones has nonetheless been getting work with the Indianapolis Colts' defensive starters during OTAs. It's possible that Jones will be able to retain his starting role following a strong rookie campaign during which he tallied 44 tackles (33 solo) and five defensed passes over 17 regular-season contests.

Colts' Jaylon Jones: Exceeds expectations as rookie
Jaylon Jones racked up 44 tackles (33 solo) and five passes defended across 17 regular-season appearances with Indianapolis in 2023.The 2023 seventh-round pick was thrust into a starting role early in his NFL career due to a season-ending injury to Dallis Flowers (Achilles), and by Week 8 he was handling more than 90 percent of defensive snaps. Jones played an impressive 763 defensive snaps as a rookie, and while he may not retain a full starting role for the 2024 campaign, he has certainly solidified himself as a key cog in the Indianapolis Colts' secondary.

Colts' Jaylon Jones: Going to Indianapolis
The Indianapolis Colts selected Jaylon Jones in the seventh round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 221st overall.Jones (6-foot-2, 200 pounds) played corner on a tough Texas A&M pass defense but might lack the athletic traits to stay at corner in the NFL. Jones has poor reach and that could be a problem when paired with his 4.57-second 40. A move to safety or a focus on the slot could be the remedy, because the Colts can't let Jones get caught in sideline races.
