The Colts' third-string quarterback is rookie sixth-round pick Riley Leonard; with Jones missing time in four of his six seasons due to injury, they need a legitimate backup quarterback. Don't expect the Colts to release Richardson.

Richardson's Indianapolis tenure has been full of inconsistencies, injuries and now being demoted to backup behind Daniel Jones.
