QB Anthony Richardson to start Colts’ preseason opener vs. Ravens

Anthony Richardson will start at quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts when they visit the Baltimore Ravens in Thursday night’s preseason opener.

Richardson and veteran Daniel Jones are battling for the job and listed as co-No. 1s on the depth chart. Colts coach Shane Steichen is trying to make it an even competition.

For example, Richardson is slated to play 1 1/2 quarters against the Ravens with Jones finishing out the first half. But in the second preseason game against the Green Bay Packers on Aug. 16, Jones will start and play 1 1/2 quarters with Richardson finishing out the first half.

“In a perfect world, that’s how I want it to play out,” Steichen said Tuesday following a joint practice against the Ravens in Owing Mills, Md.

Steichen has said he has no problem waiting until the three-game preseason is over before making a decision.

Richardson, 23, is 8-7 as a starter for Indianapolis since being selected with the No. 4 overall pick in 2023 out of Florida. He has endured multiple injuries that limited him to four games in 2023 and 11 last season.

Richardson has completed just 50.6 percent of his passes for 2,391 yards and 11 TDs with 13 interceptions. He has rushed for 635 yards and 10 scores.

Jones spent five-plus seasons with the New York Giants before finishing last year with the Minnesota Vikings. He signed a one-year, $14 million deal as a free agent with the Colts in the offseason.

Drafted No. 6 overall by New York in 2019 out of Duke, Jones compiled a 24-44-1 record as a starter for the Giants while passing for 14,582 yards, 70 touchdowns and 47 interceptions and rushing for 2,179 yards and 15 scores.

Indianapolis opens the regular season with a home game against the Miami Dolphins on Sept. 7.
