Riley Leonard steps in as Colts' backup QB as Anthony Richardson Sr. recovers from fractured orbital bone
Upon learning he would be the Colts' backup quarterback for Sunday's game, Riley Leonard's initial reaction was not one of excitement, as he found himself just one play away from potentially making his NFL debut. Rather, his first emotion was concern for his friend, Anthony Richardson Sr., who had suffered a fractured orbital bone during pregame activities. When Leonard received the news about Richardson's injury, he immediately thought about his friend's well-being before considering his own role on the team. Despite being typically designated as the emergency third quarterback and mainly running the scout team in practice, Leonard acknowledged the importance of staying prepared and focused regardless of his position on the depth chart. While he had not anticipated being thrust into this backup role, Leonard remains committed to being ready to step in if needed, all the while keeping his thoughts with his injured friend, Richardson.
