The Indianapolis Colts will reportedly name Daniel Jones as their starting quarterback over Anthony Richardson, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
Anthony Richardson showcased what he's able to do by tossing a perfect strike right into the hands of his receiver in preseason.
Given Richardson's injury history plus general concerns about his development stagnating because of the turbulent start to his NFL career, Indianapolis signed former New York Giants first-round pick Daniel Jones to a one-year, $14 million contract to push Richardson and compete for the starting quarterback job.

The third possession for Richardson began at the Colts' own eight-yard line and with just 1:38 on the clock. The play of the drive was negated by an offsides penalty on AD Mitchell, but it included Richardson throwing a beautiful downfield touch pass to Anthony Gould for a 38-yard completion.
