Colts’ Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson struggle as QB battle begins

The Colts’ two-man quarterback race got off to an underwhelming start Wednesday with Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson struggling “to find a rhythm” as training camp began.

Richardson, the team’s first-round pick in 2023 who is currently grappling with a shoulder injury, “struggled with his anticipation and accuracy,” according to The New York Times, which noted he worked with the starters for the last two team periods and went 4-of-11 passing.

That doesn’t all fall on Richardson, however, as wide receivers Ashton Dulin and Michael Pittman Jr., as well as running back Jonathan Taylor, all had drops The Times reported.

“I still got a lot of work to do, and I still gotta get that (starting) job. … Work not done,” Richardson,23, said.

In order to secure the Colts’ QB1 job, Richardson will have to outplay Jones, who worked with the starters during the two opening team periods and went 6-of-7 passing.

The former Giants quarterback, who was released from the team last November to end a rocky five-and-a-half season tenure, was also intercepted Wednesday.
