With nine days before the 53-man roster cut deadline for all 32 NFL teams, Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen anticipates a competitive nature to decide the remaining position battles during the final preseason road trip.
After Saturday’s 24-17 win over the Chicago Bears, Steichen told reporters he has not decided to play rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson, or any starters, in the final preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles. The Colts’ 2023 first round draft pick will wait to make his home debut on Sept. 10, when the Colts host the Jacksonville Jaguars.
“I think we had those two joint practices against the Bears back-to-back days,” Steichen said.
