Colts QB Anthony Richardson plays into 2nd quarter, has plenty of ups and downs Boston 25 News [Video]

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson hasn’t played a lot of high-level football. He was drafted fourth overall in the 2023 NFL Draft despite just 13 career starts in college. Last season he started only four games before suffering a season-ending shoulder injury.

The preseason isn’t for everyone, especially starting quarterbacks, but some extra reps aren’t bad for Richardson.

The Colts know about Richardson’s upside but can’t really know for sure what they have yet. In Thursday night’s preseason finale against the Cincinnati Bengals, Richardson played well into the second quarter on a night in which three of the other four teams in action sat all their starters. Richardson was finally pulled with 6:07 left in the second quarter.

There were some good things about his night, but also reminders that Richardson is still plenty raw.
