Colts name Riley Leonard starting quarterback vs. Falcons in preseason

The Indianapolis Colts will start Riley Leonard at quarterback in their Week 2 preseason matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. Leonard's start comes after Shane Steichen announced that starters would not play, allowing him the opportunity to compete against Anthony Richardson for the backup role. Both quarterbacks have had alternating starts in the preseason, with Richardson expected to take over in the second half. Steichen acknowledged the close competition between the two and has not set a timetable for a decision on the starting role. This matchup will be crucial for Leonard, especially after Richardson's strong performance in the previous game.
