Anthony Richardson builds off preseason play in latest Colts practice
In the Colts' latest training camp practice, Anthony Richardson was able to build off his preseason performance.
Anthony Richardson's preseason performance with the Indianapolis Colts set the stage for a strong showing in Saturday's training camp practice. The emphasis during the shorter practice was on the red zone, where Richardson demonstrated his efficiency, completing 5-of-7 passes. Joel Erickson of the Indy Star reported that his standout play was a shovel pass to running back Ulysses Bentley while on the move.
Riley Leonard, who had a mixed showing in the preseason game, also shined during Saturday's practice, finishing with a 5-of-8 completion rate, including three crucial late completions. Despite some hiccups in the Colts' early-season opener, including a fumble and an interception, Richardson's performance was largely encouraging.
He generated several meaningful passing plays and put the offense in scoring position twice. Richardson and Leonard are in a fierce battle for the backup quarterback position, with Richardson starting against New England and Leonard taking the start against Atlanta.
