The Indianapolis Colts are set with their situation atop their quarterback depth chart. They will be led from under center in Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season by Daniel Jones, who has recovered from an Achilles injury he suffered last season in time for the upcoming campaign.
Meanwhile, there still appears to be an ongoing battle for the chief backup role behind Jones, with Anthony Richardson and Riley Leonard in the mix.
On Saturday, Richardson and Leonard each had a chance to further make their respective cases for the QB2 job during a real, competitive game, as the Colts faced the visiting Detroit Lions in a preseason finale at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
The former Florida Gators star quarterback Richardson started in that game, and he threw for 80 passing yards with zero touchdowns and no interceptions on 7/10 pass completions, while getting sacked for a loss of five yards.
Leonard, on the other hand, went just 3/7 for 48 passing yards with zero touchdowns and was intercepted deep in Lions territory.
