As Colts weigh backup QB decision, Anthony Richardson and Riley Leonard keep cheering each other on

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Riley Leonard and backup quarterback Anthony Richardson celebrated each other's success during a recent preseason game. After teammate DJ Giddens scored a touchdown, Leonard connected on key passes that helped set up the offensive drive. Richardson, who has been in quarterback battles both last year and this summer, expressed his excitement for Leonard's performance, even though the ball wasn't in his own hands.

Colts head coach Shane Steichen has not set a timeline for announcing the backup quarterback ahead of their Week 1 game against the Ravens, but emphasized the importance of consistency from both quarterbacks. Leonard and Richardson, both young and talented, need to showcase their skills consistently to compete for the starting position.
