Colts | Anthony Richardson likely to resume practicing Sat Aug 9, 11:33 AM
Indianapolis Colts QB Anthony Richardson (finger) is expected to resume practicing Saturday, Aug. 9, according to multiple sources.
| Footballguys view: The X-rays on Richardson's dislocated pinky finger came back positive, so he may not miss as much time as originally feared. Richardson is competing with Daniel Jones to be the starting quarterback for the Colts. While he may be more naturally talented than Jones, Richardson tends to get banged up quite a bit. |

Link to story Colts | Adonai Mitchell solid in preseason opener Fri Aug 8, 05:00 PM
Indianapolis Colts WR Adonai Mitchell had a pair of receptions for 37 yards on six targets in the preseason opener Thursday, Aug. 7 against the Baltimore Ravens.
| Footballguys view: Mitchell has had a great summer and pushed up his dynasty stock. For redraft leagues, he is probably the team's #4 option at best in the passing game and only worth a spot on our waiver wire watch list. |
Colts | Tyler Warren makes three receptions Fri Aug 8, 05:00 PM
Indianapolis Colts TE Tyler Warren registered three receptions for 40 yards on his three targets in the preseason opener Thursday, Aug. 7 against the Baltimore Ravens.
| Footballguys view: Warren played all 20 snaps on the Colts first three drives and had a fourth catch called back by penalty. We shouldn't read too much into the heavy target load because the Colts top three wideouts didn't play, but we already knew the team wanted to give him a big role from day one. That Warren was the clear #1 tight end should only solidify his status as one of the best upside tight ends to target after the top 8-9 are off of the board. |
Colts | DJ Giddens stuck in neutral Fri Aug 8, 05:00 PM
Indianapolis Colts RB DJ Giddens rushed six times for just 17 yards in the preseason opener against the Baltimore Ravens, and he had no receptions on one target.
| Footballguys view: Giddens appears to have moved ahead of Khalil Herbert on the depth chart and rotated with Tyler Goodson when the first team offense was on the field. The team likes their fifth round rookie, so don't be surprised if Giddens is backing up Jonathan Taylor to open the season. |
Colts | Anthony Richardson suffers finger injury Fri Aug 8, 05:00 PM
Indianapolis Colts QB Anthony Richardson (finger) left the preseason opener Thursday, Aug. 7 against the Baltimore Ravens due to a finger injury suffered on a sack. He attempted to grip the ball on the sideline, but was having issues. He has been ruled out for the remainder of the game.
| Footballguys view: Richardson's injury is considered to be minor, and not expected to sideline him for long. It was still not comforting to see him have to leave his first preseason start with an injury. He had some good, some bad in his limited snaps, which is true to his career to date. Daniel Jones wasn't very good in relief of Richardson, and isn't putting pressure on him in this quarterback battle. |

Colts | Justin Walley to miss 2025 season Fri Aug 8, 02:51 PM
Indianapolis Colts CB Justin Walley (knee) suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament during the preseason game Thursday, Aug. 7, and will miss the entire 2025 season.
| Footballguys view: Some thought Walley was on track to be a Week 1 starter as a rookie, so this is a significant loss. The Dolphins speedy wide receivers will test the Colts corners without Walley to open the season. |

Link to story Colts | Anthony Richardson to start preseason game Tue Aug 5, 03:41 PM
Indianapolis Colts QB Anthony Richardson will be the starting quarterback for the preseason game Thursday, Aug. 7, according to head coach Shane Steichen. Steichen said QB Daniel Jones will start the second preseason game.
| Footballguys view: The Colts listed Richardson or Jones as their No. 1 quarterback on the depth chart released this week, and the plan for the next two weeks suggests things will stay that way through the second preseason game. It remains to be seen if that will be enough time for Steichen to make up his mind about the Week 1 game against the Dolphins, but the play of both quarterbacks will be closely watched until then. We believe the Colts want Richardson to win. But the fact they haven't made a decision suggests he truly has to earn the top spot. |

Colts | Indy still undecided on starting QB Mon Aug 4, 01:15 PM
Indianapolis Colts QB Anthony Richardson and QB Daniel Jones have been competing for the starting quarterback job during training camp, and the team has listed Richardson or Jones as their No. 1 quarterback on their first unofficial depth chart.
| Footballguys view: The Colts list a starter at every position except quarterback. While he hasn't announced the starter for this week's preseason opener, HC Shane Steichen plans to give both quarterbacks plenty of work in the first two exhibition games before making a decision. Richardson has fallen short of expectations since the Colts took him No. 4 overall in the 2023 NFL draft, and the Colts signed Jones to a one-year contract to compete for the job. Still, it's fair to believe Richardson will be given every opportunity to emerge as their franchise QB if the competition is close. |

Colts | Anthony Richardson to play good amount Mon Aug 4, 12:02 AM
Indianapolis Colts QB Anthony Richardson is expected to play a 'good amount' in the preseason opener Thursday, Aug. 7 against the Baltimore Ravens, head coach Shane Steichen said Sunday, Aug. 3.
| Footballguys view: The Colts are planning to start one quarterback against the Ravens and the other against the Packers to start the preseason, but it's not yet clear what the rotation will be. Meanwhile, Indianapolis Star beat writer Joel Erickson notes the red zone has given Richardson and Jones fits in the first two weeks of Colts training camp. For the second consecutive week, Indianapolis spent most of its Saturday time in the red zone, and the results have been underwhelming, particularly for Richardson. Richardson completed just 3 of 10 passes on Saturday. We'll continue to watch for more. |

Colts | Daniel Jones to see time Thursday Mon Aug 4, 12:01 AM
Indianapolis Colts QB Daniel Jones is expected to see a 'good amount' of playing time in the preseason game Thursday, Aug. 7 against the Baltimore Ravens, according to head coach Shane Steichen. Between Jones and Anthony Richardson, it's uncertain who will start Thursday, but the plan is to have whomever starts Thursday, go in the opposite order in the second preseason game.
| Footballguys view: Shane Steichen hasn't discussed the situation with Anthony Richardson and Jones yet, so he's holding off on announcing what the rotation will be. Meanwhile, Jones received the first-team reps during the first half of Saturday's practice, as he and Richardson switched from first to second-team in the back half. Jones had his most productive day of camp, distributing the ball accurately all over the field, going 20-of-25 passing (80.0%), with a red zone touchdown. Still, the competition is far from over. We'll continue to follow up as needed. |

'We don't encourage hip-drop tackles. We know (Trey Washington) is down in the dumps, and I don't think he was trying to do that,' Steichen said.

Link to story Colts | Tyler Warren to move all around? Sat Aug 2, 04:13 PM
Indianapolis Colts TE Tyler Warren has been on a steep, steady learning curve, as the team tries to take advantage of his immense skillset. 'We're putting a lot on his plate, and sometimes you push them a little bit beyond their threshold,' offensive coordinate Jim Bob Cooter said Tuesday, Aug. 1. 'I think he's going to be a very versatile piece for us. We're going to try a bunch of different stuff with him, give him a bunch of shots at a bunch of different aspects of playing football.'
| Footballguys view: If you had Warren pegged as the breakout tight end of 2025, nothing we have heard or seen out of Colts camp should dispel you of that notion. He has seemingly been a focal point of the pass offense, he's riffing well with Anthony Richardson - the leader in the quarterback competition - and the team is willing to use him to multiple ways to get the ball in his hands. |

Link to story Colts | No clear favorite for QB job Fri Jul 25, 03:38 PM
Indianapolis Colts QB Daniel Jones and QB Anthony Richardson have both had positive and negative plays during the first few training camp practices, and there is no clear frontrunner for the starting quarterback job, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Stephen Holder.
| Footballguys view: Holder thinks that Richardson will start Week 1 unless Jones clearly pulls ahead, with Jones waiting in the wings if Richardson gets hurt or underperforms. He also points out that Richardson has been improving his short and intermediate accuracy, so maybe there is hope that Richardson can seize this job. |

Indianapolis Colts QB Daniel Jones and QB Anthony Richardson both worked with the first-team offense during drills Wednesday, July 23.

However, Richardson was supposed to be the team's franchise quarterback but injuries have de-railed his career so far. We'll see these two continue to battle in the rest of camp and a game or two in the preseason for the starting job. |
