Colts' Riley Leonard: Uneven effort to wrap up preseason
Leonard completed three of seven passes for 48 yards and an interception in Saturday's 25-16 preseason loss to the Lions. He added three yards on three carries.
Anthony Richardson got the start under center for the Colts and had a quiet but efficient performance before turning the offense over to Leonard in the second quarter. The 2025 sixth-round pick led a TD drive on his first possession, capped by a DJ Giddens six-yard run, but Leonard then made a poor decision trying to avoid pressure and got picked off just outside the red zone the next time Indianapolis had the ball. Saturday's performances didn't do much to clarify who will begin the season as Daniel Jones' backup, with both potential No. 2's having good and bad moments in camp and during the preseason.

Colts' Riley Leonard: Playing in second half Thursday
Leonard will be under center for the second half of Thursday's preseason game against the Patriots, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Anthony Richardson will draw the start for Thursday's preseason opener and play for the first half before turning the keys over to Leonard for the last two quarters. Richardson and Leonard are battling for the backup job behind Daniel Jones, though Richardson may not be with the Colts for the start of the 2026 regular season after requesting a trade from the team in the offseason. Leonard was a sixth-round selection of the Colts in the 2025 NFL Draft and started in Week 18 against the Texans, when he completed 21 of 34 passes for 270 yards, two touchdowns and one interception while turning three carries into 21 yards and a score.
