Daniel Jones will play in the Colts' game on Sunday against the Houston Texans, head coach Shane Steichen confirmed Friday.
Jones (fibula) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice (a walkthrough) but was a full participant on Thursday and Friday.
"Talked to our trainers and our doctors and Daniel himself," Steichen said. "We would never put him out there if we thought something could go wrong. So our trainers and doctors are clearing him to play, he's good to go. He wants to play, and we're excited for the opportunity.
"It's something we'll manage, but we're not going to limit anything that we do offensively from a game plan standpoint, what he feels comfortable with out there. We're ready to go, he's ready to go.
"Yeah, I'm good," Jones said on Wednesday. "I'm all good. I'll be ready to go on Sunday. Obviously, I was out there last week. I'm good to go."
Steichen said the Colts are not planning to elevate practice squad quarterback Brett Rypien to the active roster for Sunday's game; Riley Leonard will remain Jones' backup as Anthony Richardson Sr. is still on injured reserve, recovering from the freak accident in October that led to him sustaining a fractured orbital bone.
"He's gotten a lot of the scout team looks," Steichen said of Leonard. "He's got a ton of that stuff, obviously, going through the game plan, preparing the right way, he's made great strides in that area."
