Colts fans express interest in backup quarterback competition ahead of training camp
Summary

Fans of the Indianapolis Colts participated in a survey regarding upcoming positional battles as training camp approaches in late July 2026. Approximately 36% of respondents indicated they are most interested in the contest for the backup quarterback position. The competition will likely involve Anthony Richardson and Riley Leonard, both of whom have been sharing first-team reps with starter Daniel Jones. The Colts face a critical situation, as Jones continues to recover from a torn Achilles, raising the stakes for the backup role. The Colts' previous season featured similar concerns, which saw veteran Philip Rivers return to help out during an injury crisis.
