The Indianapolis colts abandoned their first pre-season assignment after losing against the Baltimore Ravens, 24-16 on Thursday. Apart from the defeat, fans were worried after the quarter of Anthony Richardson injured in the first quarter and did not return.
Fortunately, Richardson did not have to miss an extended period. He will return to Green Bay Packers on Saturday.
The former fourth overall choice, which went around the mini-colts mini after having injured his shoulder, has just released a campaign from top to bottom during his second year and seeks to settle like the indisputable chief of the team.
In the meantime, Indianapolis use a minor change Against Green Bay, as Stephen Holder d’Espn reported.
“Colts coach Shane Steichen, said Daniel Jones earlier would start the pre-season match next weekend against packers and play about two series. Anthony Richardson will take him from there and end the first half. Starters will generally play about a quarter,” said Holder on X.
“This is a modification of the original Richardson’s minimal playing time plan on Thursday when he supported a listened finger in the first quarter.”
At the very least, Steichen can observe how the two captines play with the starting unit. The battle for the starting square is still wide open in Richardson and Jones, because the director general Chris Ballard had stressed that it would be an “open competition”.
Last season, Richardson, 23, played 11 games, launching 1,814 yards, eight affected and 12 interceptions. During week 8, he got out of the match sadly because he was tired. He lost his starting job against the veteran Joe Flacco before recovering it in the week 11.
Jones, 28 years old,, on the other hand, went 10 out of 21 for 144 yards and no hit in their defeat against the Ravens.
He signed with the colts on a one -year contract of $ 14 million in March. He did not play a single cliché with the Vikings of Minnesota last year.
