What happened: Anthony Richardson said he is “not necessarily sure what’s going on” with his request to leave Indianapolis. He has continued working with the Colts during the unresolved process.

Why it matters: The uncertainty carries into preseason after the Colts explored the quarterback trade market before camp. Any departure would reshape the team’s depth chart before the 2026 opener.

What to watch: Roster cuts will show whether Indianapolis finds a trade partner or releases Richardson before Week 1.
