The competition continues in Indianapolis, where the Colts listed “Daniel Jones OR Anthony Richardson” as the No. 1 quarterback on their first “unofficial depth chart” released on Monday.
Sixth-round draft pick Riley Leonard and 2024 undrafted rookie Jason Bean are listed behind Jones and Richardson heading into Thursday night’s preseason opener against the Ravens in Baltimore.
Head coach Shane Steichen said Sunday that Jones and Richardson will both play against the Ravens but declined yet to say which signal-caller would start.
“Yeah, both are going to play in this game. I haven’t had a chance to talk to them about who’s starting, but I’ll address that with them tonight,” Steichen said Sunday. “I want them to hear it from me first before they hear through the media. But yeah, we’ll work through that.”
Jones, 28, signed a one-year, $14 million deal with the Colts in March after finishing out the 2024 season on the roster of the Minnesota Vikings.
Drafted No. 6 overall by New York in 2019, 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.
Richardson, 23, is 8-7 as a starter for Indianapolis since being selected with the No. 4 overall pick in 2023. He 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.
