They are considering the possibilities after the injury of Antonio Richardson

  • Richardson sustained an injury during the game against the Ravens
  • Daniel Jones became the starting quarterback after Richardson's injury
  • Overall, he may miss the entire season due to the ACL injury

This is reported by Marca, Marca.

In the first game of the preseason, the Indianapolis Colts faced the Baltimore Ravens, which took place on August 8, 2025, starting quarterback Antonio Richardson suffered an injury. During the game, at the beginning of the second quarter, he sustained a right knee injury after being tackled by Ravens linebacker David Ojabo. Richardson finished the game with a result of 2 out of 3 passes for 21 yards, but did not return due to the injury.

Colts head coach Shane Steichen stated that Richardson will be evaluated later, but did not provide specific timelines for his return. The injury may jeopardize his competition for the starting quarterback position with Daniel Jones, who became the starter after Richardson's exit from the game.

Daniel Jones, who replaced Richardson, finished the game with 144 yards, completing 10 out of 21 passes. Rookie Ravens quarterback Leonard also had the opportunity to play, but his performance was less impressive: 12 out of 24 passes for 92 yards and one interception.

Richardson's injury became a serious blow for a team that already had problems in defense. Rookie Jastin Woolley also sustained an ACL injury and will miss the entire season. The competition for the quarterback position in the Colts has now become even more intense, as Jones and Leonard have the opportunity to showcase themselves in upcoming games.
