During a joint practice between the Indianapolis Colts and Cincinnati Bengals, quarterback Anthony Richardson faced significant challenges, leading to harsh criticism from Bengals players. Richardson struggled to connect with his receivers, throwing an interception and often opting to run instead of passing, prompting taunts from Bengals defenders like BJ Hill and Cam Taylor-Britt. Bengals safety Geno Stone remarked that Richardson was merely 'throwing to spots' and not effectively seeing his targets. Despite a prior promising camp, Richardson's performance raised concerns among Colts fans and analysts alike. However, Colts head coach Shane Steichen expressed confidence in Richardson's abilities, indicating that he will have opportunities to improve in the upcoming preseason finale. Overall, the joint practice highlighted the need for Richardson to refine his skills as he enters his second NFL season.
