Quarterback Drama in Indianapolis

The Colts came into this game with a quarterback competition already brewing between Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones. The situation took a turn when Richardson suffered a dislocated pinky finger on his throwing hand after being sacked by Ravens linebacker David Ojabo in the first quarter.

• Richardson’s Stats: 2/2 passing, 13 yards before leaving the game.
• Daniel Jones: 10/21 passing, 144 yards.
• Riley Leonard: Played the second half, going 12/24 for 92 yards and 1 interception.

The injury raises fresh questions about who will start Week 1. Colts head coach Shane Steichen said postgame that Richardson will undergo further evaluation, but early signs suggest he could miss additional preseason reps (New York Post).

Ravens Showcase Depth and Special Teams Firepower

The Ravens used this game to evaluate depth players, and several stepped up:

• Keaton Mitchell continued his rapid rise with an explosive 68-yard score.
• LaJohntay Wester electrified the stadium with an 87-yard punt return touchdown — a major statement for a roster spot as a return specialist.
• Rookie Rasheen Ali showed red-zone efficiency with a short-yardage TD run.

Defensively, rookie first-rounder Malaki Starks saw limited snaps but demonstrated positional versatility, aligning both at safety and in the slot. Ravens head coach John Harbaugh hinted that Starks could be deployed in multiple roles throughout the season (Baltimore Ravens Official Site).

Special Teams and Kicking Battle

For Indianapolis, the kicking competition remains open:

• Spencer Shrader currently leads for the starting role, but Maddux Trujillo — who famously delivered a comeback kick at M&T Bank Stadium last year — is still in contention (Stampede Blue).

The Ravens, meanwhile, didn’t have much to prove with veteran Justin Tucker securely in place.

What This Means Moving Forward

For the Colts:

• The QB situation just became more complicated. If Richardson misses extended time, Daniel Jones will have a golden opportunity to prove he can lead the offense.
• Rookie tight end Tyler Warren, who posted over 1,200 receiving yards in his final college season at Penn State, made his debut but saw limited targets — expect his role to expand.

For the Ravens:

• Depth at running back looks strong with Mitchell and Ali contributing.
• Special teams could be a game-changer this season, with Wester’s return ability adding another weapon.
• The defense’s adaptability, particularly with Starks, gives Baltimore more flexibility in coverage schemes.

Bottom Line

This was more than just a preseason opener — it was an early test of depth, adaptability, and health for both teams.

• The Ravens showed they can win even with stars on the sidelines.
• The Colts face tough decisions, especially under center, as injury concerns resurface.

Fans will be watching closely in the coming weeks to see if these early storylines carry over into the regular season.
