Richardson wins Colts QB2 job with 249 preseason yards; one injury from starting.

Anthony Richardson has officially won the Indianapolis Colts' backup quarterback job, earning the QB2 role behind Daniel Jones after a competitive offseason battle with Riley Leonard. Richardson finished the preseason 21-of-33 passing for 249 yards. The source notes Richardson remains raw and inconsistent but is the more physically gifted and experienced option; if the Colts are forced to turn to a backup, Richardson gives them a player with starting experience, elite rushing ability, and a higher immediate ceiling. After requesting a trade in February, Richardson has stabilized his roster spot and remains one injury away from the field.
