The Indianapolis Colts have released their preseason depth chart, listing Daniel Jones or Anthony Richardson as quarterback number one. However, the team’s coach Shane Steichen did not confirm who will start this week’s game.
Both quarterbacks will receive significant playing time in the first two games of the preseason before a decision is made. This competition was sparked after the Colts signed Jones to a one-year contract, putting him head-to-head with rookie Anthony Richardson. Despite being the fourth overall pick in last year’s NFL draft, Richardson has not lived up to expectations.
Jones, who played for the Giants from 2019 to 2024, brings experience to the table, whereas Richardson is still developing his skills. The Colts need to see significant improvement from Richardson if they’re to consider him their franchise quarterback. With no clear leader emerging in this competition, fans will have to wait and see how the situation unfolds in the coming weeks.
