Indianapolis Colts rookie QB Riley Leonard will get his first NFL start Saturday against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Former Florida Gators star Anthony Richardson has been benched by the Colts, losing the QB job and raising questions about his NFL future.

Daniel Jones has emerged as the starting quarterback of the Indianapolis Colts. Will he lead the team to the playoffs? This offseason, the Colts signed Jones to a one-year, $14 million contract.

After their preseason wrapped up on Thursday night, one AFC rival cut a former Colts draft pick at running back.

The Indianapolis Colts had one of the biggest storylines of the NFL offseason with their then-quarterback duel between the former fourth-overall investment, Anthony Richardson Sr., and new free agent addition at the field general position, Daniel Jones.

On Tuesday, Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen announced that Daniel Jones would be the team's starting quarterback. Steichen said that Jones wouldn't have a short leash and that the Colts want him to be a long-term solution this year.

Most first-year quarterbacks need time to figure it out, and a lot of them neverreally do.And that’s why, as the Indianapolis Colts inch closer to the 2025-26season — the best rookie seasons stand out so much more.

In the process of turning to Jones, the Colts have practically abandoned the development of 2023 fourth overall pick Anthony Richardson. With only 15 starts under Richardson's belt, Steichen and Ballard feel like they've seen enough from the 23-year-old. Calling this a bold move is an absolute understatement.
