Daniel Jones will start for Colts in Week 7 v. Vikings

Despite Daniel Jones' struggles, he will remain the Colts' starting QB against the Vikings, says Shane Steichen.

Daniel Jones will start at quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts in this week's game against the Minnesota Vikings.

This was never truly in question, but given Jones' rocky start to the season and the Colts coming off a devastating loss to Tennessee, head coach Shane Steichen was asked on Monday if Jones would continue to be his starter.

Steichen confirmed that would be the case.

Following the Colts' loss to the Titans, Steichen reiterated his confidence in Jones, but did add that he has to clean up the turnovers.

This season, Jones has thrown six interceptions -- tied for the fourth-most in the NFL -- and he's also lost a few fumbles as well.

The Colts re-signed Jones in the offseason with the hope that he could regain last year's pre-injury form. However, that hasn't been the case. Jones is completing just 59% of his passes at only 5.9 yards per pass attempt, with four touchdowns and the aforementioned six interceptions.

Interceptions, poor decisions, and off-target passes have been far too prevalent for Jones this season, but it's not as if conditions around him have been great. The offensive line unit struggled against the Titans, the run game has been lackluster, and without Alec Pierce, the wide receiver depth has been exposed.

Jones and the 2-4 Colts will attempt to get the season back on track this week, but that won't be easy against the aggressive and blitz-heavy Vikings' defense.
