Who will start at quarterback for Colts in preseason game v. Falcons?

The Indianapolis Colts will determine who will start at quarterback for their Week 2 preseason game against the Atlanta Falcons during practice this week. Shane Steichen, the team's offensive coordinator, announced on Thursday that starters will not participate in the exhibition match, allowing Riley Leonard to assume the starting role.

Leonard and Anthony Richardson have been vying for the backup position throughout the preseason. The two quarterbacks have alternated starts, with Richardson taking the field against New England and Leonard slated to start in the second half of that game. Steichen hinted that both quarterbacks have shown flashes of brilliance, but each has also experienced performance fluctuations.

Steichen expressed optimism about both players' performance at camp, stating that he believed they both had a good preseason so far. However, he did not provide a timeline for the final decision. The outcome of this competition may be closely contested, but Leonard may face additional pressure heading into the game, given Richardson's superior performance in Week 1.
