Colts, Daniel Jones
Digest more
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson's preseason is over. Head coach Shane Steichen told reporters Thursday that Richardson will not play in Saturday's preseason contest against the Cincinnati Bengals after he lost the quarterback race to Daniel Jones.
After clinching their first preseason win against the Washington Commanders on Aug. 18, the Bengals are looking to polish up their defense as they host the Colts at Paycor Stadium on Saturday.
In the process of turning to Jones, the Colts have practically abandoned the development of 2023 fourth overall pick Anthony Richardson. With only 15 starts under Richardson's belt, Steichen and Ballard feel like they've seen enough from the 23-year-old. Calling this a bold move is an absolute understatement.
Are the Indianapolis Colts finished with Anthony Richardson? There has been alot of talk (maybe too much talk) about the team’s decision to start DanielJones over Richardson at the quarterback position.
