Overview
- Richardson, who asked for a trade in February, returned to the Colts’ voluntary program on Monday and joined on-field drills in Phase II.
- On Friday, head coach Shane Steichen said Richardson is practicing, will share reps with Riley Leonard, and has been cleared on the vision issue from his orbital fracture.
- Daniel Jones is the starter, and offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter said it is too soon to name a No. 2 quarterback.
- Indianapolis declined Richardson’s 2027 fifth-year option, which positions him for unrestricted free agency after the 2026 season without a new deal.
- With no acceptable trade offers, the Colts are holding him through camp in case injuries or struggles elsewhere boost his market, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
