Jones entered the preseason game earlier than expected when Anthony Richardson went down with an ugly pinky injury on his throwing hand.

The Indianapolis Colts are still trying to find their Week 1 starter at quarterback, and the second week of the preseason will be critical. On Sunday, coach Shane Steichen revealed his plan for Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson during the Colts' preseason matchup against the Green Bay Packers next weekend.

The consensus surrounding Jones stems from The Athletic's "NFL QB Tiers" for 2025, as multiple anonymous GMs, coaches, and coordinators stacked up the league's best and worst talents at the quarterback position, and ranked them within sets of tiers from one to five– one being a franchise superstar, five being a backup quality guy.
