Colts Announce Preseason QB Rotation Amid Competition

Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen has announced that quarterback Anthony Richardson will start the preseason opener against the Baltimore Ravens, playing about a quarter and a half before being relieved by free-agent acquisition Daniel Jones. Jones is slated to start the next preseason game against the Green Bay Packers as part of an ongoing quarterback competition. Both Richardson, entering his third NFL season, and Jones, signed from the New York Giants, have been splitting reps during training camp. Richardson faces a critical year after previous injuries and inconsistent play, while Jones is competing to secure the starting role. The preseason performances of both players are expected to be instrumental in determining the Colts' Week 1 starter. The coaching staff is closely monitoring the competition, with the final decision hinging on preseason evaluations.
