Daniel Jones intends to start Colts’ opener; Anthony Richardson Sr. not surprised to be in Indy

For roster and depth-chart planning, Richardson remains on his rookie deal through 2026 with no trade imminent, making the backup competition a live variable given Daniel Jones' Achilles recovery and injury history.
