Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson is back with the team after a year-long absence, raising questions about whether he will reclaim the starting role. The 2023 first-round pick missed the entire 2025 season, and his return adds a new dynamic to the Colts' quarterback room heading into the 2026 campaign.
Richardson's comeback comes after a season on the sidelines, though the specific reasons for his absence were not detailed in the initial report. The Colts have not officially named a starter for the upcoming season, leaving the competition open as training camp approaches.
Joel A. Erickson of the Indianapolis Star reported on the development Monday, November 2, 2026.
