The Indianapolis Colts name Anthony Richardson their backup quarterback, placing him behind starter Daniel Jones for the team’s Week 1 preparations. Richardson wins the role ahead of other candidates, including Riley Leonard, and is set to serve as the primary option if Jones cannot play.
The outlets’ coverage focuses on the same roster decision: Richardson is selected as the top backup as the season approaches. The Athletic reports that Richardson beats out Leonard for the spot, while Yahoo Sports similarly states that Richardson has won the backup job behind Jones entering Week 1. Both accounts frame the move as part of the Colts’ finalized quarterback depth chart for the early season.
