Anthony Richardson is the Colts' No. 2 quarterback
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- The Indianapolis Colts have named Anthony Richardson as their backup quarterback behind Daniel Jones for the start of the regular season, with Riley Leonard as third on the depth chart.
- Richardson, drafted fourth overall in 2023 as the team's quarterback of the future, lost the starting job to Jones due to injuries and inconsistent play.
- Jones's torn Achilles last season and Richardson's eye injury limited Richardson's playing time, as he did not play after Week 5.
- Richardson's opportunity to start again will depend on Jones's health and performance during the season, especially as Richardson is in the final year of his rookie contract.
