Anthony Richardson Returns to Colts Workouts as Backup Battle Reopens

The team is taking a patient approach to his trade request.

Overview

  • Richardson, who returned to the team Monday after two weeks away, joined Phase II on‑field work as offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter said he was ready to work.
  • Cooter refused to discuss whether Richardson still has vision limits from the Oct. 12 fractured orbital bone and told reporters to direct those questions to the quarterback.
  • The Colts are treating the No. 2 job as an open contest with rookie Riley Leonard while Daniel Jones remains the unquestioned starter rehabbing a torn Achilles.
  • General manager Chris Ballard said the club will be patient on the trade request, and pre‑draft reporting from ESPN described limited interest in a deal.
  • Receiver Josh Downs welcomed Richardson back and said he brought a good attitude and went to work.
