-- The Indianapolis Colts will start Anthony Richardson Sr. in Thursday's preseason opener against the Baltimore Ravens, the next step in the team's ongoing quarterback battle between Richardson and Daniel Jones. To that end, Steichen said, Jones will start the team's second preseason game Aug. 16 against the Green Bay Packers in Indianapolis. Richardson, Steichen said, will see about "a quarter and a half" of action against the Ravens, with Jones expected to play about "half a quarter." The Colts won't play some key starters, so Richardson won't have his full complement of playmakers and offensive linemen. Richardson has been the Colts' starter the past two seasons, but he has struggled with consistency, completing 50.6% of his attempts in his career.
