WESTFIELD — Riley Leonard was given a chance to shine on a rainy Saturday that drove the Colts inside the Grand Park Events Center.
For the first time in training camp, the snaps were not split evenly between Leonard and Anthony Richardson, the two men battling for the No. 2 quarterback job behind Daniel Jones. Leonard was given two opportunities with the No. 2 offense that did not go to Richardson: six snaps at the start of practice and an extended two-minute drill at the end of practice.
The disparity likely does not mean anything at this point in camp. Saturday's practice was the first session scheduled for an hour and a half, and the two extra periods given to Leonard were added to the existing format of the three Colts practices earlier in the week. When Indianapolis returns to the practice field Monday, Richardson might be given a chance to even the snap count.
But Leonard did a good job taking advantage of his extra time Saturday, particularly in the two-minute drill.
A lot of two-minute drills are slow and methodical. Jones completed all six of his passes in his opportunity with the first-team offense, ripping off three first downs before a Laiatu Latu sack on third down gave the No. 1 defense a win.
