Daniel Jones named Colts’ starting QB over Anthony Richardson

Daniel Jones is getting a second shot as a starter.

The Colts named the ex-Giants quarterback as their Week 1 starter following an offseason battle against Anthony Richardson, the team’s fourth overall pick in 2023, multiple reports said Tuesday.

Jones, a first-round pick in 2019, was released from the Giants last November after a rollercoaster five-and-a-half seasons.

The breaking point came after a putrid 2-8 start to the franchise’s celebratory 100th season.

He briefly linked up with the Vikings before signing a one-year, $14 million contract with the Colts in free agency.

The Colts open the season on Sept. 7 against the Dolphins.
