Colts officially name Anthony Richardson Sr. QB2, a move that signals faith in his potential despite past trade rumors and injury setbacks. After splitting reps and impressing in preseason with 21-of-33 passing for 249 yards, Richardson’s promotion comes as he embraces the role with grit and gratitude. Backup duties now fall to Riley Leonard, while GM Chris Ballard praises Richardson’s leadership and work ethic.
