Summary

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson will start in Thursday's preseason game against the New England Patriots. Richardson is expected to play the first half, followed by another quarterback for the second half. This is notable as he requested a trade after the Colts acquired Daniel Jones, who will not participate in the preseason due to recovering from a torn Achilles tendon. Richardson has had a mixed performance with 11 touchdowns and 13 interceptions over his 17-game career, while Jones is sidelined after signing a new deal earlier this offseason.
