  "account": "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.",
