[Key Preseason Updates | League Rosters | Daily NFL Developments]
All franchises across the National Football League are currently engaged in their preparatory camps, presenting numerous captivating narratives and points of interest.
The Indianapolis Colts find themselves in the midst of an intriguing contest for the quarterback position, and we are now seeing the initial significant developments. According to comments from head coach Shane Steichen, Anthony Richardson is slated to commence the preseason game against the Ravens on Thursday at 7 p.m. Eastern Time, while Daniel Jones is scheduled to start Week 2’s 1 p.m. contest against the Packers at their home venue.
Both Richardson and Jones were jointly designated as QB1s on the Colts’ initial depth chart this past Monday. There may be a heightened sense of urgency within the organization to facilitate a positive turnaround in Richardson’s trajectory, which has been impacted by recurring injuries and inconsistent performance, including a shoulder ailment that has been a factor during the current summer period. Richardson was selected as the fourth overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, and the Colts made a calculated decision based on his potential rather than demonstrated results. To date, the outcome has not fully met their initial expectations.

Indianapolis made a substantial investment in Jones, surpassing the typical allocation for a backup player, by securing him with a one-year arrangement that reportedly includes a $6 million signing bonus and $7.15 million in guaranteed compensation, along with the potential for additional millions through performance-based escalators. Consequently, considerable expectations have been placed on Richardson.
The time has come to assess whether Richardson or Jones (or possibly both) can deliver on their potential.
