According to reports, Daniel Jones is expected to get a few reps against the Ravens on Thursday. However, Indy will start Anthony Richardson before likely replacing him with Jones, who will play about half a quarter in the preseason opener.

Last week, Colts coach Shane Steichen suggested that the QB1 battle between Jones and Richardson is still neck and neck.

"You want to see completions, you want to see the offense moving up and down the field," Steichen said. "So, both have been doing a really good job."

Indy will play its second preseason game against the Green Bay Packers on Aug. 16 before facing the Cincinnati Bengals in its third preseason game on Aug. 23.

Jones is expected to get a start in the Colts' second preseason game against the Packers. He will need to grab his opportunities if he wants to get the starting berth for the regular season.
