Two weeks after benching Anthony Richardson, then hinting the 2023 first-round draft pick might never start for the team again, Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen has completely reversed course.

Anthony Richardson will start against the Jets, and the Colts intend for Richardson to start the rest of the season.

Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen announced on Wednesday that Anthony Richardson was returning as the team's starting quarterback against the New York Jets and would remain the starter for the rest of the season. The move comes two weeks after the Colts benched Richardson for veteran Joe Flacco.
