Colts | Riley Leonard, Anthony Richardson battle for backup Mon May 11, 12:09 AM

Indianapolis Colts QBs Riley Leonard and Anthony Richardson are set to battle for the primary backup job to starter QB Daniel Jones, while QB Seth Henigan is also on the roster. Offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter said it's 'still early' and 'too soon' to determine a frontrunner for the QB2 job.

Footballguys view: With Daniel Jones coming off a season-ending injury, the next man in line is important for the Colts. Leonard, a 2025 sixth-round pick, started Week 18 last year after the Colts were eliminated from postseason contention. Richardson's history is well documented. The No. 4 overall pick entered the NFL in 2023 with a unique skillset but little college experience. He's started just 15 games in three seasons -- 11 coming in 2024. With Jones still in rehab, Leonard and Richardson will get plenty of reps to prove worthy of the backup gig.

Colts | Shane Steichen non-committal on Anthony Richardson Fri May 8, 03:05 PM

Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen told reporters, 'We'll see how it goes' with Anthony Richardson potentially competing for the backup quarterback job.

Footballguys view: Things change quickly around here. It wasn't that long ago that Richardson was seen as a potential franchise quarterback, and now he's in a battle for the backup job behind Daniel Jones. Riley Leonard is likely to be the no.2 quarterback for the Colts, and he certainly would be if/when the Colts trade Richardson.

Colts | Anthony Richardson Reports for voluntary workouts Mon May 4, 03:16 PM

According to ESPN.com's Stephen, QB Anthony Richardson reported to Indianapolis' voluntary offseason program on Monday after staying away for the past two weeks.

Footballguys view: The Colts have been trying to trade 2023 No. 4 overall pick Anthony Richardson throughout the offseason. While the Colts are apparently not any closer to trading Richardson, they also have not given any indication that he will be released. So, at least for now, Richardson is back with Indianapolis. The Colts declined to pick up Richardson's fifth-year option by last week's deadline, as was widely expected.

Colts | Ballard, Colts Surprised By Daniel Jones' Accuracy Sun May 3, 10:03 AM

In a recent interview with the Rich Eisen Show, Colts GM Chris Ballard noted that there was one factor about Jones' game he found surprising. "I probably underestimated his accuracy coming in the door," Ballard said. "This dude is accurate, man. And when he's in rhythm and really in a groove, he is excellent.

Footballguys view: Jones performed well in his first season with the Colts before suffering a torn Achilles late in December -- so well that the club rewarded him with a two-year, $88 million deal despite the injury. He completed 68.0 percent of his passes for 3,101 yards with 19 touchdowns and eight interceptions before he was hurt. But Jones is, by all accounts, progressing well through his rehab and could be available to begin the regular season in September. With Jones' new contract, the Colts have a clear belief in the QB to pick up where he left off whenever he's healthy.
